Peer 360 Recovery Alliance exists to serve the diverse recovery communities, their families, friends and allies offering a unified voice and shared recovery vision. Peer 360 is building bridges across the gaps between professional treatment services and successful lives in long-term recovery so that no more are lost to addiction. These groups are an informal gathering of others in recovery with a chance to share your experience and strength in recovery with others. They are also a chance to talk about your struggles and get support as needed.

Great Lakes Bay Region Families Against Narcotics
Individual, Family and Community support group. The Great Lakes Bay Region chapter of Families Against Narcotics was founded in October of 2017 by community members across Bay, Midland, and Saginaw counties in an effort to address the local opioid epidemic. The monthly FAN Forums exist to reduce stigma, educate our community about substance use disorder, and provide a place of support that welcomes everyone. We also provide free Narcan training–which includes free Narcan for attendees to take home–after every meeting in an effort to reduce overdose deaths. Meetings are held every 2nd Tuesday of the month at 7:00 P.M. Please visits the Great Lakes Bay FB page for monthly details.
