This program is truly unique in that it focuses on a Native counselor and patients in session at a treatment centre located on a reserve. An addict may be an addict but the special problems, rooted in self-esteem and alienation, experienced by the aboriginal population, and contributing to the substance abuse epidemic that afflicts them, have not been well documented. Offering counselors clear insight to the many facets of this problem, the video is also very useful for helping Natives especially, and other minority members, to identify and confront their symptoms, to make recovery possible.
