Families Against Narcotics

DON'T GIVE UP

We live in a connected society where people are not afraid to share their negative opinions freely on any subject they see fit. This is no different with the stigma of addiction. These are sons, daughters, mothers, fathers, siblings, and friends who deserve a beautiful life like anyone. Please help us erase the stigma of addiction!

EVERY NUMBER TELLS A STORY

Every day over 130 people lose their life to an accidental overdose from opioids*. These can be prescription painkillers, heroin and fetanyl. Many of these people developed a substance use disorder after receiving a legal prescription to treat pain, often over-prescribed leading to dangerous misuse of the prescription.

With 20 chapters throughout Michigan and our first out-of-state chapter in North Carolina, Families Against Narcotics continues to educate communities of the dangers of prescription drug abuse, especially painkillers.
