At FAN, our case managers deliver intensive, one-on-one case management services focused on substance use. We help individuals identify priorities, work toward their goals, and increase day-to-day stability.

Our team takes a practical, client-driven approach grounded in real-world needs and recovery tools. This work contributes to reduced repeat legal involvement, stronger coordination with law enforcement, and more informed public understanding of substance use.
FAN recognizes that the legal system alone is not equipped to address the complexities of substance use. Our program promotes coordinated efforts among law enforcement, prosecutors, service agencies, and other local partners to respond more effectively.
This approach helps reduce jail overcrowding, lowers related costs, and contributes to more stable outcomes for individuals and the broader system.
