EDITORIAL REVIEWS
"
...the program adopts more of an informative tone than a heavy-handed scare tactic approach, employing excellent graphics, simple but accurate language from experts, and real stories from a variety of former addicts to help viewers make informed and responsible choices about saying “no” to drugs…Recommended."- Video Librarian (May/June 2004)
