Movie Reviews of Addiction
Movie Review: Essential Watching for All Americans
Summary: 5 Stars
This documentary is a detailed and comprehensive look at addiction, its causes, effects, and the types of treatment currently available in the U.S. It should be required watching for all Americans, especially parents and those who think addiction doesn't or won't affect them. Those who have experienced addiction firsthand through their own struggles or the struggles of a loved one will find it particularly helpful. If you have a friend or family member in the grips of an addiction, watching this series can give you insight, useful information, and a renewed sense of hope.Movie Review: Informative
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a chemical dependency counseling student, I found this documentary to be up to date and even told me things that I didn't learn in lecture. There is a chapter called The Science of Relapse and I would suggest anyone watch it; it gives a detailed description of how relapse happens and what can trigger it. I think that it could even help family members struggling with understanding relapse. Very well executed and not a bunch of pshycobabble. My professor recommended it to the class, I'm really glad I listened to him.Movie Review: A Must See For Those Living With Addiction
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a family member living with addiction/alcoholism for 3 years. I wish I would have seen this film when we first found out about the addiction problem. A fair amount of redundancy because this was originally a series, its still worth the inconvenience of fast-forwarding through several sections. I recommend it and I know residential rehab centers regularly incorporate this into treatment - my alcoholic/addict was exposed to it in rehab before the rest of the family saw it.Movie Review: Excellent and informative viewing
Summary: 5 Stars
Well crafted documentary series that holds your attention, and approaches the subject matter with honesty and transparency.
This series together with the book, provide you with a good understanding of treatments available and the new thinking around addiction as a physical illness.
I would reccomend this to anyone with an interest in the area of drugs and alcohol, or if you are impacted by an addict in your family, community etc.
Movie Review: Addiction Is A Good Addition To Anyone's Library
Summary: 5 Stars
I've found Addiction to be a quality addition for my library regarding drug and alcohol abuse. [...]
Not only is the main 90-minute movie a valuable asset, but also the 20-minutes mini-movies help to go into further depth and detail including interviews with experts in the field, understanding relapse as a part of recovery, understanding adolescent addicts, searching for treatment and the CRAFT and CBT approaches to addiction treatment.
