Aspects of Addiction: This video features hard-hitting interviews, which takes the viewer through the beginning stages of alcohol & drug use, the common journey of addictive behavior while using drugs and alcohol, and the final consequences of drug and alcohol abuse.  This video contains many strong messages of hope and recovery while focusing attention on the desire to make lifestyle adjustments, the need for a good support system, and the need to work a program.

Chemical Dependence: Do you wonder if you have a drug addiction or suffer from substance abuse? When is "one more drink" one too many? Is yours an alcoholic family? What is the difference between substance abuse and chemical dependence (addiction)? This self-help video describes how chemical dependence starts and how the substance abuse cycle continues

He discusses lifestyles and value systems and the problems associated with experimenting with drugs.

Pathway to Change
Michael Johnson illustrates how most addicts think other people or things are the cause of their emotions and feelings.  He explains how these emotions and feelings usually lead to negative behaviors that eventually cause problems and lead to negative consequences. He explains the “pathway to change” by taking the viewer through a series of examples and analogies as he provides strategies that clearly illustrate how to limit or eliminate many of the negative consequences so they can begin to have a healthy, realistic perception about people and events in their life.

Post Acute Withdrawal 
Post Acute Withdrawal (PAW) is caused by the long-term aftereffects of chronic alcohol and drug poisoning on the brain. Many recovering people suffer from PAW and don''t know it. In this fast-paced presentation, recovering people discuss how they came to understand and identify the symptoms of PAW in their own recovery. Aided by these personal experiences Terry Gorski and Jan Black summarize the most recent research on the causes and symptoms of PAW. This presentation is powerful and informative. It needs to be seen by all chemically dependent people, their families, and the professionals who treat them. This presentation is appropriate for use in patient and family treatment programs.


Process of Recovery Michael Johnson takes the viewer through the process of self-discovery as they enter into and continue a life of recovery. He leads the viewer through the process of reflecting on their life, and the consequences of their behavior. He discusses how alcohol, drugs and criminal behavior can lead them to jail, death, or insanity. Johnson explains why "recovery and abstinence from alcohol, drugs, and criminal activity must be a permanent commitment." He discusses some of the changes that take place during the process of recovery and addresses getting back time, lack of determination, feeling bored, lost and abandoned. Family issues are also addressed, as well as how many addicts new in recovery use recovery as a bargaining chip with family members to make deals and promises.

Psychology of Addiction: According to Delbert Boone, addiction is an equal opportunity illness that can destroy its victims. He explains how understanding addiction is the key to recovery. Boone tells inmates at Albion Correctional Facility, “as you feed addiction it grows. As it grows it dictates all terms of your life, and it never goes away.” He talks about the thousands of people who die from addiction each year, and how prisons are overflowing from drug related crimes. He tells them, “you are not in prison because you are bad people, you are here because you made bad choices while using alcohol and other drugs.”
