Families Against Narcotics

Mission Statement of Families Against Narcotics:

To strengthen collaboration among community partners, and mobilize community wide efforts to promote a healthier Oakland County through Prevention, Recovery, and Support. This is done by raising the awareness of the epidemic of prescription pain medication abuse in our society, to reduce the stigma and change the face of addiction, to educate the community about the dangers of prescription drugs and the potential to lead to the use of illegal narcotics, and to provide a support network for those affected by drug abuse or addiction.

We work together to raise awareness of our fastest drug problem - Prescription Drug Abuse. We educate communities on the specific dangers of prescription opiate-based pain killers such as Vicodin, Oxycontin, and Percoset, and the potential to lead directly to heroin use. We provide support to families that are affected by addiction and to those in recovery.

Families Against Narcotics - South Central Oakland County Coalition meets the first Friday of every month at 7:00pm - Woodside Bible Church, Farmington Hills Campus. Contact Larry Gudith for information at 248-987-2696, or 248-250-4043.
