Movie Review: addiction
Summary: 5 Stars
Great ......gives a lot of insight and hope for those wishing to stop their addiction.Movie Review: Mary R
Summary: 4 Stars
I am a licensed Social Worker who has worked with addictions for 30 years. This information was not exactly new. However, there are many recovery programs & staff who would benefit from adding this information to their treatment programs. The main mesage to me was that in order to successfully treat the "cravings" we need to address the brains chemistry. Although it is not appealing to treat ones drug adiction with another drug ( take methadone for example) the research does merit attention. If there is a medication to help with the cravings then to me it is worth looking into.
So many people look down on people with addictions and think they have no willpower. True many have stayed sober thru 12 step programs but many more need something else they are not already being offerred. People say the addict "failed" the program where I see the program "failed" the addict. One key in this documentary is to get addicts into treatment ASAP vs waiting for them to "hit bottom". I think the brain chemistry information can be a useful component to adapt into treatment. Then if it works we can save thousands of lives.
I don't see this as a one size fits all but as an addition to prevention programs along with counseling and 12 step meetings.
Movie Review: internet/sex/po*n addicts, shopoholics are missing
Summary: 4 Stars
Addiction
The 90 minute documentary is a gist of 14 parts of supplimentary series (around 5 hours) focusing on drugs and alcoholism in America. The addiction series tries to link go (pleasures) behavior to control (frontal lobe) behavior and how lapses between these create problems in personal life/family/society.
Why internet/sex/po*n addicts, shopoholics are missing in this series? These are invisible WALKING GHOSTS in our world. HBO should have created couple of more episodes (in supplimentary series) on internet addicts, sex/po*n addicts, shopoholics which is another threat to developed countries.
BTW, at HBO web-site, you can download all 14-part supplimentary series as podcast if you have itunes software.
Movie Review: Addiction DVD is informative
Summary: 4 Stars
I ordered this DVD set to use in a class that I'm teaching. It is a good overview of addictive behaviors and recovery/treatment methods. It is NOT a "cure all" for addictive behaviors. However, it could help someone become more aware of how substance abuse affects self and others who love or care for the addicted person.Movie Review: The video
Summary: 4 Stars
This video was ordered by the chairman of the Dangerous Drug Board of the Pilippines and given to the Department of Health to be shown to their people. It has proven very helpful in understanding drug addiction and how to deal with this rapidly growing problem in the Philippines.
