The Opioid Crisis Action Network Recovery Fund (OCAN-RF), a 501(c)(3), was founded in January, 2018 by Heather and Larry Arata after the overdose death of their 23 year old son, Brendan, to pay for the treatment and best practices recovery home housing of those suffering from substance use disorder. OCAN-RF provides grants to best practices treatment centers and recovery homes on behalf of those in financial need suffering from substance use disorder. OCAN-RF does not accept or pay referral fees to any treatment center or recovery home.

The Opioid Crisis Action Network (OCAN) is an advocacy group for the recovery community which educates the public about medical best practices treatment, prevention and harm reduction solutions to this health emergency. OCAN educates voters about which candidates from all political parties support public policies that eliminate barriers to the provision and coverage of medical best practices treatment, prevention and harm reduction solutions. OCAN does not endorse candidates. Candidates from all political parties may endorse our platform and we post their names on our website and send press releases to the outlets of their choice.
