Families in the Fire Reaches out to Families with Loved Ones Addicted to Meth
New Organization provides family support and education
Kapolei, HI (March 2, 2010) - Families in the Fire is a locally formed 501c3 non-profit organization that reaches out to families who have loved ones addicted to Methamphetamines. Formed in September 2009, this organization holds monthly support group meetings at Mililani Waena Elementary School and provides speakers to school and community groups.

Crystal meth addiction brings with it unique challenges that are often not addressed in "all inclusive" drug and alcohol support groups. While addiction concerns of any kind are welcome, we are focusing on specifically fighting the drug called "ICE" which has ravaged our state and so many of its families. Hawaii is number 5 in the nation for meth use among people 12 and older and Hawai'i's families are on the front line.
