One in four Americans has a primary family member who is struggling with addiction. This 90-minute documentary strives to breakthrough the myths and explain what addiction really is (a brain disease), what causes it (a variety of genetic and psychosocialfactors) and how to get the best available treatment (by seeking out evidence-based medical and behavioral treatments).

Topics such as The Adolescent Addict, The Science of Relapse, Parents of Opiate-Addicted Children, The CRAFT Approach to treatment and Brain Imaging are explored to show the complexities of both addiction and recovery.
