Description

The addiction crisis in America has reached a new boiling point, and courageous people are rising to answer the call in new creative ways. "Tipping The Pain Scale" is an award winning feature length documentary film following the lives of individuals grappling with the current systemic failures of dealing with addiction in their communities. The film highlights their journey to develop and employ new, innovative, and often controversial solutions to the addiction crisis currently plaguing our communities, and the country. It is a story of everyday hero's and their urgent fight to save lives. Following the film, join us for 'Reel Conversations'- a panel discussion with members from our community who actively do local outreach to those impacted by substance use disorder. PLEASE NOTE: COVID protocols will be in place. Masks are required regardless of vaccination status. Bridge Beyond Addiction assists those who struggle with the disease of addiction by providing a bridge between treatment and independence. For many, recovery residences are that vital bridge from in-patient treatment to sober communities, and independent living. Quality recovery residences provide a family-like living environment, free from alcohol and illicit drug use, centered on peer support, and connections that promote sustained recovery from substance use. Bridge Beyond Addiction supports this process by providing financial grants to qualified individuals who are leaving treatment programs and have chosen to enter approved sober living communities.
