This spring, in an unprecedented, multi-platform campaign, HBO brings together many of the leading experts to explore the latest breakthroughs in the research and treatment of drug and alcohol addiction. Exploding the myths of addiction as a moral deficiency or lack of will, Addiction examines scientists' recognition of the problem as a serious, but treatable, brain disease. Beginning with a 90-minute centerpiece documentary created by one of the most acclaimed teams of documentarians ever assembled, the program also includes thirteen additional episodes, a companion book and a rich-media web site featuring extensive video segments, expert content and resources for individuals and families looking for help. Complemented by a national outreach program funded by the Robert Woods Johnson Foundation, Addiction is a program that no family can afford to miss.
