[B]OH....MY...GOD. "Spun" was the movie that made me terrified of crack! Brittany Murphy did SUCH a great job in that movie! I can't even remember if it was released in theatres because it was just sooooooo graphic with all the crack use.

Spun freaked me out! they were all such good actors in that movie. remember that one chick that gets tied up and left in the room and has to listen to the blaring, skipping record... that's horrible.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone! I'll have to see something that does have treatment since I am supposed to critique the counselors and rehab aspect. This gives me some ideas of where to start looking!

I saw "Spun" about two weeks ago - that was some freaky stuff!!!

Another good movie dealing with drug abuse is Gridlock'd starring Tupack Shakur and Tim Roth. Here's a synopsis of the film:

Life is a traffic jam.

When their friend Cookie o.d.'s, best buddies & musicians Spoon (Tupac Shakur) & Strech (Tim Roth) decide it's time to kick their drug habit by putting themselves into detox. But they soon discover that their road to rehab is paved with reams of social service red tape. Spoon & Stretch are just trying to stay alive until they can get treatment.

But, between the angry drug dealers, the cops who have mistaken them for murderers, & the people with forms & clipboards, this turns into a task of epic porportions.
