In search of answers, Misha Klieder has put away his sociology textbooks and opted for real-life experience-spending close to a month sleeping and scavenging in the crime-infested Downtown Eastside of Vancouver, Canada. Beginning as a semi-farcical challenge to standard liberal views of homelessness, Misha's story takes on darker dimensions as he encounters severe health problems and, in an even more ominous turn, becomes a crack and heroin consumer.

Its staff members claim it "saves lives." A regular client calls it "a community centre for junkies." Whatever you might call it, Insite is the only one of its kind in North America - a supervised injection site for drug addicts. Insite, located in Vancouver's notorious Downtown Eastside, has been controversial since it first opened its doors in 2003. An exemption from federal drug laws was granted to allow addicts to bring their drugs onto the premises and inject them. Insite provides clean needles and medical supervision. It's funded by British Columbia's government and championed by community leaders, but Harper's government is openly hostile to it and is trying to shut it down. Now, for the first time, cameras have been allowed to record the daily dramas at Insite. Inside is a world not many have seen before. In Staying Alive, reporter Hana Gartner introduces some of those who work there, including Darwin Fisher, the intake manager, and Dr. Gabor Mate, who has been caring for addicts, prostitutes and the homeless for the past 10 years.

Krystal is a 14-year-old drug addict and runaway who is ordered by the courts to attend an alcohol and drug treatment program. What makes Krystal's story distinctive is that her rehabilitation requires that her parents attend counseling as well. Based on the 12-step AA program, the Alberta Adolescent Recovery Centre (AARC) combines both individual and group therapy sessions. Because Krystal's parents have been involved in the recovery process, AARC believes Krystal and her family have an incredible opportunity to move forward with their lives.]]></description><link>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C1493338</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C1493338</guid><category><![CDATA[VIDEO_ONLINE]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2002 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1493338026</comments><format>VIDEO_ONLINE</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=/MC.GIF&amp;client=ottap&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=C&amp;upc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rehab]]></title><description><![CDATA["Exposes the country’s failed response to the opioid crisis, and the malfeasance, corruption, and snake oil which blight the drug rehabilitation industry."--Publisher.]]></description><link>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C1642953</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C1642953</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Walter, Shoshana]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1642953026</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>An American Scandal</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781982149826/MC.GIF&amp;client=ottap&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1460924086</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Un-addiction]]></title><description><![CDATA["Contrary to popular belief, addiction isn't a conscious choice. It's a chronic illness, like diabetes or asthma, that responds to treatment and deserves compassion. And yet, too many people expect their loved ones to simply recover on their own without interventions.
