| Heroin: From Pleasure to Pain DVD | |||||
Featuring: Darryl Inaba, PharmD Research Scientist, former CEO Haight-Ashbury Free Clinics Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry and Human Behavior, UC Irvine School of Medicine; CEO and Medical Director, Amen Clinics, Inc. | The desire to control the pain of a hostile environment or withdrawal from the drug itself, along with a desire for an altered state of consciousness make heroin one of the three most addictive substances in the world. This video presents a comprehensive, up-to-date and compelling examination of the use and abuse of heroin, covering history, tolerance, tissue dependence, withdrawal, treatment, and recovery. Using animation, brain scans, live action, and interviews with experts in the field, as well as practicing and recovering addicts, the video examines the reward/pleasure center and the pain control center of the human body to show how the addiction process evolves, and stresses recovery in a positive way. “Our Prevention and Student Assistance Program staff were impressed with this production. A great deal of current information is covered efficiently in 34 minutes.”Lori Cooper-Ott, M.Ed., C.A.C., Stepping Stone Counseling and Education Services, York, PA |
