Gone Too Far

Gone Too Far is an MTV documentary series starring DJ AM as he travels the country on a mission to help young people afflicted by drug addiction begin the recovery process. Adam Goldstein, known internationally as DJ AM, is no stranger to drug abuse. He struggled with addiction throughout his younger years. At age 25 he was finally able to get clean. In this series, DJ AM shares his experience with the addiction and recovery process with eight young people currently struggling with drugs and alcohol. The road to recovery is extremely challenging, and DJ AM's job involves more than just convincing kids to stop using. That's the easy part. The hard part is rearranging their lives to make the recovery possible. Often times the addict's loved ones—like parents and siblings—can make things worse by trying to help. For instance, in Hartford, CT, DJ AM meets Gina, a 20-year-old heroin addict. Her mother loves her and hates the drugs, but has given Gina money for heroin because the withdrawal process looked too painful to bear. In Gone Too Far, DJ AM does what he can to help addicts achieve sobriety, and to change their surroundings to prevent relapse. MORE
