Families Against Narcotics,
in partnership with the Alliance of Coalitions for Healthy Communities, has launched a county-wide chapter which will offer meetings in six
regions spread throughout the county.
Four of the regions will hold their
inaugural meetings this month with the theme "Not My
Child."
The Alliance and Families Against Narcotics work
together to bring awareness of the growing problem of prescription drug and
opiate misuse within Oakland County. They also will provide recovery and support
resources for individuals and families struggling with addiction.
A copy of a prescription drug misuse toolkit is available
online at achcmi.org/solution/.
