A shocking number of Australians are currently battling addiction, many in silence.
In a bold, revelatory and inspiring new documentary series made by Blackfella Films, SBS puts the spotlight on Australia’s addiction crisis in the most powerful and deeply personal way.
Addicted Australia provides extraordinary access to ten Australians and their families as they battle addiction.
Signed up to a unique six-month treatment program, the four-part documentary series follows their heart-wrenching journey from despair to hope and possible recovery.
The series lays bare the challenges faced by families and their loved ones who are searching for a different life. Participants are each dealing with different forms of addiction and are all at different starting points on their journey.
Drugs, alcohol and gambling are all openly discussed. We see them in their everyday environments and witness firsthand the reality of the recovery journey; the highs and the lows.
