New Interview Series Aims to Shift Addiction Narratives

The series expands on the organization's earlier documentary work. Episodes aim to reduce stigma around substance use disorders by presenting addiction as a complex health condition, not a moral failing. Recent episodes have covered long-term recovery, life-threatening addiction, and community leadership.

Silberman said the goal is to help viewers realize they are not alone and to show that recovery is possible. The platform also provides educational resources and recovery stories alongside the interviews.

New episodes are released regularly on the Real Stories of Addiction and Hope website.
