We invite you to join us in watching this documentary series, and to join the campaign to Rethink Addiction, because addiction is one of the most misunderstood and overlooked health issues facing Australians.
In the documentary series we have been able to share the powerful stories of 10 Australians affected by addiction, and the recovery that is possible with a holistic and extended treatment program that has never been offered before.
