Oakland County Families Against Narcotics (FAN) was founded in April of 2022. This organization is based on everyday people coming together to serve a purpose. Our purpose is to educate families, school members, workforce representatives, public safety associates, court officials, and healthcare professionals about the misuse of drugs and prescription pain medication within our communities.

Oakland County FAN will meet monthly to provide resources, education, and support to those affected by addiction. Details about the content and timing of the meetings will be published monthly on this site and on our social media pages. Our meetings are open to those in recovery, citizens, public safety members, court officials, healthcare professionals, city leaders, education professionals, and business partners.

Our goal is to educate and work to change the stigma of addiction. Stigma is defined as a mark of disgrace, and we here at the Oakland County FAN chapter would like to change that to appreciation. Appreciation is the state of being appreciative that has been learned through an experience. We will come to appreciate the struggles that families encounter and the courage and support it takes for each person to change. Growth will come with a complete understanding of a situation.
