Aaron Rubio
International Masters Addiction Coach ( IMAC )
United Community Addiction Network ( UCAN )

The mission of the UCAN project is to unite the community resources together to combat the disease of addiction.

Aaron’s involvement with addiction began in 2014. He was
dealing with it in both his immediate and extended family and so he
went on a search for answers and resources. After numerous calls and
online searches, he realized the system was under duress and his
passion for change was born.
Early in Aaron’s journey he was introduced to FAN (Families
Against Narcotics). It took a short period of time to realize FAN was
bringing addiction awareness to the community and he ventured in to
start the Genesee County Chapter in 2014. After creating and helping
with many initiatives throughout the years with FAN, he noticed huge
gaps in the services. Wanting to push for change on another level, he
decided to move in a different direction.
His passion has grown into a full-scale non-profit called United
Community Addiction Network or UCAN. The mission of the UCAN
movement is to unite the community resources to combat the disease
of addiction. UCAN is working with hospitals to develop a standard of
practice regarding addiction within the hospital setting. Recently UCAN
signed an agreement with the Genesee Intermediate School District for
video presentations on drug awareness and UCAN is also working
closely with the Genesee County Sheriff’s office to start multiple new
initiatives. The movement is poised to truly make an impact in Genesee
County.
Aaron is member of many community groups including The
Greater Flint Health Coalition, Genesee County Prevention Coalition,
Drug Court Advisory Board, Jail Re-entry program and The Salvation
Army Advisory Board. In addition, he has obtained over 15 State and
National Addiction Certifications allowing him to practice as an
International Masters Addiction Coach (IMAC).

‘A belief is not merely an idea the mind possesses; it is an idea that possesses the mind’
Growing up in a blended family has given me a unique insight into the challenges children face. I grew up with a sister Melanie and brother Chris from my mom’s previous marriage and a sister, Nancy, on my father’s side. As well as my sister Heidi from their marriage.



Spending my early years growing up in New Orleans, Louisiana, in America’s Deep South, I saw first hand the racism and division that was polluting that part of the US. My father, an entrepreneur, decided to move us to Colorado. We moved several times so he could work on his businesses. Meanwhile, my mother was very independent. My lively upbringing and family dynamic enabled me to see as a child. You need to be seen and heard.
It was when I was 16, I lost my brother Chris to suicide. This devastating event impacted all of our family. And looking back, it also sewed the seeds for my drive to look at how children and parents can learn to communicate in a different dynamic. I could see the relationship my mother had with my brother, and his struggles were connected. His relationship with my dad, his step-father, was not healthy. And it set me on the............
