Family Support and Addiction Help | 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, more than 130 people lose their lives to an accidental overdose from opioids*. This can be caused by prescription pain medications, heroin, or fetanyl. Many of these people have developed a substance use disorder after receiving a legal prescription to treat pain. They are often over-prescribed, which can lead to dangerous misuse of the prescription.

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