If you're a compassionate person who would like to help FAN's Hope Not Handcuffs program get people placed into treatment, become one of our volunteer Angels! Launched in February of 2017, Hope Not Handcuffs brings law enforcement and community organizations together in an effort to find viable treatment options for drug or alcohol addiction. The concept is simple: Any person who is battling addiction can go to any participating police agency and ask for help. They will be greeted with support, compassion, and respect, and one of FAN’s trained Angels will work with the Hope Not Handcuffs Call Center to get them placed into treatment. Since its inception, the Hope Not Handcuffs initiative has helped place more than 11,000 individuals into treatment, giving them a legitimate chance at finding recovery. Hope and Healing is a newer, hospital-based version of Hope Not Handcuffs. It allows people admitted to the hospital or ER due to an overdose the opportunity to seek help, either by calling an 800 number or filling out an online assessment.
