BRENTWOOD, Tenn., Feb. 4, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- American
Addiction Centers (NYSE: AAC), a leading national provider of
drug and alcohol treatment services, announces the premiere of its
new docuseries, "Far From Finished." The new series provides an
in-depth look at recovery as viewers get to experience the daily
reality of those who are reclaiming their lives from drug
addiction.
The first episode, released on February
4, is available for viewing on AAC's website and social
media pages Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter.
This episode features Dominic
Grefsrud whose drug use began at the age of 14. By the time
he reached adulthood, meth and other drugs had taken over his life.
He eventually resorted to selling drugs to support his habit, which
landed him in prison but didn't stop his cycle of drug abuse.
Today, he has nearly four years in recovery after receiving
treatment at Desert Hope Treatment Center, an American Addiction
Centers' facility in Las
Vegas.
"My addiction cost me my family at some points and my freedom,"
says Grefsrud. "I was basically committing suicide on the
installment plan. The biggest reason for sharing my story is to
give others hope. There is light at the end of the tunnel."
"Far From Finished" is a remake of AAC's popular podcast of the
same name. At its height the podcast had more than 150,000
downloads and listeners from over 60 countries. The audio version
of the docuseries will eventually be released on the "Far From
Finished" podcast as well, which can be found on iTunes and
Soundcloud.
"There is nothing more powerful than getting to experience
someone's story first-hand," says Stephen
Ebbett, AAC's chief digital marketing officer. "We hope our
docuseries will open hearts and minds by exposing people to the
realities of addiction and recovery. These stories are a testament
that people recover from this disease and can rebuild their lives,
proving that their journey is far from finished."
