Recovery Movies

Hello-

I do my best to try and show at least one addiction/recovery documentary each month as a program. They go over fairly well in our jail. I have a partial list on me today, but can review my records when I go back to work on Wednesday. Here are a couple that I have shown:

American Epidemic: The Nation's Struggle with Opioid Addiction (YouTube-35min)

Coming KLEAN: Stories of Overcoming Addiction, the Documentary (YouTube-35min)

I tend to keep my documentaries to 30-60 minutes unless I feel the content will keep them attentive for the whole time. And what I assume is standard procedure, I always view documentaries prior to showing them to the inmates. I'll try and remember to send any more that I have shown when I am back to work.

I have a few that are older covering Substance Abuse recovery. We have collected them over the years. Currently when I schedule these video programs with out population so low, I am getting very little attendance. Here are a few titles of the videos we have or show at times. (No More Sunsets - The last days of a meth addict)(Pathway to Change - ReCovery Direct Inc.) (Life on Life Terms Release & Re0ntegrations Preparation for Chemically Dependent Offenders) This is just a short prep video and older. (Turning Point - Breaking cycle addiction & Incarceration - Hazelden Community Corrections program).

FYI - I have also start many faith base video programs but attendance is not good. Hope this helps.
