Vivo. Best Drug Is Life

Description

An in-depth look at the community of San Patrignano, the largest drug rehabilitation and detox center in the world. This center, located near Bologna in Italy, boasts a 2,000-person capacity and has been offering its four-year therapeutic program free of cost since its inception in 1978. The center’s extraordinary success rate is a result of its unwillingness to consider addiction as an illness and its non-classical therapeutic approach that aims to eliminate dependence without drug substitution. This film follows the lives of five community residents in particular, each from different countries, as they recount their journey of struggle and hope.
