There is..."Happy Valley",
Its a true story of pill addiction, herion & 2 different families struggle with the death of a daughter. Its very powerful. Its something that happen here in utah not to long ago. Its more documentary style.

I was just talking to mom and another good addiction movie is "Clean & Sober" it was done quite a few years ago but its all about his stay in rehab and all the emotion that goes with it. It has michael keton in it.

Days of Wine and Roses: Jack Lemmon, Lee Remick. A must see movie about alcoholism. A good period protrail of AA for the early 60's.

I was on the run from the law, living in a motel on a stolen credit card when the movie "less than zero" came on late at night. Man that was a rough night.
