Art Alexakis Talks About His Struggle With Drug Addiction
The Partnership at Drugfree.org launched the YouAreNotAlone channel on YouTube the 11 million teens and young adults who are struggling with drug or alcohol problems, and to the families who struggle alongside them. Most of them aren't getting the help they need. And the isolation and fear surrounding addiction makes it even harder.
By bringing together stories and voices from the 85 million Americans who have been directly impacted by addiction, You Are Not Alone aims to reduce the barriers that stand in the way of families getting their kids the effective treatment and recovery support they deserve.
Art Alexakis, lead singer and guitarist of Everclear, talks about his struggle with addiction. After a suicide attempt, Art realized it was time to change. The now father of two, 22 years in recovery, is proof that it gets better.
We will continue to post videos and information from The Partnership and other online resources dedicated to preventing and combating substance abuse and drug addiction.
