Amy Winehouse's premature death brought the issue of substance abuse back to the front pages for a short time, but nobody's talking about programs that actually work. The popular response to addiction is "re-hab," but what other programs are out there that deal with addiction head on? Is it realistic to try to get addicts to stop, or does that simply force them to run away or hide their addiction?
Harm reduction services takes a different approach by starting with small steps that can help addicts try to stay healthy and avoid potentially fatal diseases. From there, the relationship may progress further, but the initiative comes from the addict, not the agency. See how it works by watching the trailer and full episode.
