CARE and Advocacy
Advocacy
The fight against substance use, and the opioid epidemic requires treatment, support services, counseling, education, and other services that CARE provides. But it also requires organized action by communities to advocate for change in policies, laws, public perception, and community norms. If you’ve ever wanted to get involved with the fight against substance use and misuse but didn’t know exactly what to do, you may find an answer below.
Project Vox

Community Coalitions
CARE supports 11 local substance use prevention coalitions in Macomb and Wayne counties. These coalitions are comprised of people from all backgrounds, including those impacted by or recovering from addiction. Each coalition focuses on their individual community’s strengths and needs.
