CLINTON TOWNSHIP, Mich., March 20, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Face Addiction Now (FAN) is proud to announce the launch of its new interactive "Michigan Substance Use and Recovery Data Dashboard," a powerful tool designed to provide critical insights into substance use and mental health trends across Michigan.
This innovative platform offers data visualizations on treatment and recovery services, treatment admission rates, harm reduction, prescription drug monitoring, drug overdoses and deaths, and FAN's programmatic data. Policymakers, healthcare professionals, and community organizations can use this dashboard to gain a comprehensive view of the state's substance use landscape.
Backed by Data Bloom—a social good-focused data consulting organization—this dashboard contains key metrics for understanding trends and supporting decision-making. Users will be able to:
- See how recovery services compare to drug prevalence in Michigan.
- Learn about prescription rates across counties and how prescribing rates relate to overdose trends.
- Get an in-depth look at FAN's programmatic data and the communities they serve through a variety of programs, including Quick Response Teams and naloxone distribution.
These metrics empower stakeholders to track trends across the state, make informed decisions, and support decision-making processes in order to improve support systems for individuals and families affected by substance use disorders.
"Access to timely and accurate data is crucial for tackling the challenges of substance use and mental health," said Madie Tortomasi, Director of Community Education at Face Addiction Now. "With this dashboard, we're equipping communities and decision-makers with the insights they need to drive meaningful change and improve outcomes throughout Michigan.
This project was made possible by funding from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) under the SPF-RX (Strategic Prevention Framework for Prescription Drugs) grant. The support from SAMHSA has enabled FAN to enhance its efforts in tracking and responding to the evolving substance use crisis in Michigan, with a particular focus on prescription drug misuse.
The dashboard is available to the public and can be accessed at:
Face Addiction Now encourages policymakers, healthcare providers, researchers, and community members to explore the dashboard and utilize its data to strengthen substance use prevention, treatment, and harm reduction efforts statewide.
