OUR MODEL FOR HARM REDUCTION:

FAN embraces harm reduction as a set of practical strategies aimed at minimizing the negative consequences associated with drug use. We are dedicated to meeting individuals where they are, providing non-judgmental care, and treating addiction as a health condition. Our efforts focus on preventing disease, reducing the risk of HIV and hepatitis transmission, and preventing overdoses, all while connecting participants with essential resources and ensuring they receive thoughtful support through our street outreach and medicine teams.

WHAT DOES HARM REDUCTION LOOK LIKE?
Embracing Compassionate Care and Practical Support

According to the National Harm Reduction Coalition, harm reduction encompasses a range of strategies that include safer use, managed use, and abstinence. It emphasizes practical approaches tailored to the circumstances of drug use and the needs of the individual.

Our street outreach teams include individuals with personal experience in recovery, who bring valuable perspective to their work. In partnership with MSU Street Medicine, FAN helps prepare future healthcare professionals by giving them experience in working with individuals facing substance-related challenges.

Outreach Services are available in Macomb County, Oakland County, Saginaw, and Detroit.
