WASHTENAW COUNTY
New!
The Washtenaw County chapter of Families Against Narcotics (FAN) includes the cities of Ann Arbor, Chelsea, Dexter, Milan, Saline, and Ypsilanti, along with surrounding towns and communities.
The Washtenaw County chapter, like the larger FAN organization, was created with the mission of improving outcomes for people with addictions by helping to remove the stigma associated with addiction. Our chapter does this by providing a place for members of the community who are impacted by substance use to congregate. The topics of our meetings vary from month to month, however, they are centered around the goals of increasing awareness, providing education, interacting with health care professionals and law enforcement, and giving community members a platform to reflect on their beliefs and experiences.
Our chapter is determined to connect community members struggling with substance use to the resources they need. If you have a request, please reach out. We will process your request and attempt to connect you to the resources you need, or relay you to a more appropriate organization.
