Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: addiction Comment: Great ......gives a lot of insight and hope for those wishing to stop their addiction. Customer Rating: Summary: Great education tool! Comment: This DVD set was recommended to me by a treatment provider who came to speak in my class on substance abuse. Using current research, HBO has provided interesting segments that involve interviews with treatment professionals as well as individuals and families affected by substance dependence. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about the topic or to suppliment the educational experiences of students. Customer Rating: Summary: Essential Watching for All Americans Comment: This documentary is a detailed and comprehensive look at addiction, its causes, effects, and the types of treatment currently available in the U.S. It should be required watching for all Americans, especially parents and those who think addiction doesn't or won't affect them. Those who have experienced addiction firsthand through their own struggles or the struggles of a loved one will find it particularly helpful. If you have a friend or family member in the grips of an addiction, watching this series can give you insight, useful information, and a renewed sense of hope. Customer Rating: Summary: Just not very good Comment: I think there are better programs on the subject. Nothing profoundly bad about the series, it is just slow and boring. Customer Rating: Summary: If you don't buy it, at least rent it, if you or anyone you know has dealt with addiction. Comment: Although there are a few parts that are a little slow, this is a great series and HBO deserves a big thank you for taking the time to dig deep, as do all the participants who shared their experiences.
