Problem: How can we show treatment success for Alcohol Dependence?

Solution: Alcohol Answers - Tom's Story

Tom's story is a video filmed and produced completely by Adaptive Strategies. Tom is the subject of a story that is all too often heard, of an alcohol-dependent patient who finds a treatment that works for a period of time, but for one reason or another, relapses and has to start over on his or her journey once again. It is a gritty, no-holds-barred look at the life of an alcoholic, who, despite his best intentions, falls back into old, self-destructive behavior patterns.

Alcohol Answers is using this video to create awareness of the modern treatment options available to patients. And, as for Tom, his alcohol dependence has been in remission for almost 2 years. This video has been put on YouTube, MySpace and iTunes, as well as the AlcoholAnswers.org and AddictionSurvivors.org websites.
