Looking for a drug addiction charity?

Question by scatterbrain73: Looking for a drug addiction charity?
I am looking for a charity to donate to. I would like to find one that benefits the families and loved ones left behind when someone passes away as a result of a drug overdose, or possibly one that benefits families of drug addicts. I am looking for non-profit organizations or groups, and preferably ones that deliver at least 80% of their donations to the families.
