Title: " Drinking Apart: Families Under the Influence "
Millions of Americans wrestle with a drug or alcohol problem during their lives, usually without the aid of counseling. But at Ackerman Institute for the Family, teams of counselors help many to regain their freedom. This program tracks the progress of a husband and wife, a mother and teenage daughter, and a young couple over a three-year period as they fight their way to recovery. The documentary was filmed at Ackerman, at the Addicts Rehabilitation Center in New York City, at Cassadaga Job Corps Center in upstate New York, and even in the subjects homes. It provides valuable insights into both the devastating effects of drug and alcohol dependence on different types of relationships and the methods being used to assist in breaking addictions.
