Face Addiction Now serves as an essential, hands-on resource, bridging critical gaps in substance use disorder solutions. We provide accessible education, life-saving tools like Narcan, and a robust support network.
Our mission is rooted in empowering and compassionately assisting individuals, families, and professionals with effective strategies to address and prevent addiction, fostering a community of healing and resilience.
This year’s Run Drugs Out of Town will take place at Macomb Community College, Center Campus on June 21, 2025. This event is more than a 5K run or walk—it’s a powerful way to support individuals and families impacted by substance use disorder. Together, we can build a stronger, healthier community. Gather your friends, family, and colleagues to form a team and join us in honoring and supporting those affected by addiction. Your participation makes a difference!
Walk-up registration kicks off at 8:30 am and the run will begin promptly at 10 am. We’re excited to have participants of all ages come together in support of this important cause.

Deflection & Diversion
The Quick Response Team (QRT) at FAN is a proactive outreach program designed to provide compassionate and immediate support to individuals and families affected by substance use crises.
Our QRT operates under the deflection and diversion levels, aiming to engage those who have had recent interactions with first responders, such as EMS, fire, or law enforcement, due to substance use.
Deflection and Diversion
FAN connects individuals with substance use or co-occurring disorders to community-based treatment and support, providing an alternative to incarceration through collaboration with law enforcement, the prosecutor’s office, court system, and case managers.
This approach reduces legal system strain, decreases jail overcrowding, and supports better long-term outcomes.
Our coaches build supportive, trusting relationships, empowering each individual to create a personalized recovery plan. We provide emotional support, connect clients with community resources, and foster life skills development, aiming to remove barriers and inspire hope throughout the journey to lasting wellness.
- Improved relationships with family, friends, and the community
- Increased involvement in treatment and recovery services
- Heightened feelings of self-worth and empowerment
- Reduced rates of relapse
- Reduced involvement with the criminal justice system
