The Mid-Fairfield Substance Abuse Coalition (MFSAC) is one of fourteen Regional Action Councils (RACs), under the direction of Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (DMHAS), established to prevent and address substance abuse issues in the community. RACs are responsible for supporting, coordinating and providing technical support for Local Prevention Councils regarding alcohol, tobacco and other drugs. MFSAC facilitates a conduit through which current federal and state information is channeled to and from these Local Prevention Councils. The mission of MFSAC is to bring recognition and resources to address substance abuse and its effect on the communities of Norwalk, Weston, Westport and Wilton through education, awareness, enhanced addiction services and community action.
