American Addiction Centers Partners With Former BMX Elite Pro Tony Hoffman in New Documentary on the Power of Redemption and ...
October 10 2019 - 3:08PM
American Addiction Centers (AAC), a leading provider of
substance use treatment services, released the latest installment
of its new docuseries, “Far From Finished,” featuring former BMX
Elite Pro Tony Hoffman. The docuseries gives viewers an in-depth
look at recovery through stories of those who are reclaiming their
lives from drug and/or alcohol addiction. In the documentary,
Hoffman shares his journey from prison to the 2016 Rio Olympics,
and how his struggles with addiction almost ended his life and his
dreams.
The episode is available for viewing on AAC’s website and
social media pages Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram and Twitter.
“The drugs take away the feelings you’ve been running from for
years,” he says in the documentary. “When I took my helmet off, I
wanted to kill myself. When I took my helmet off, I had depression
issues. When I took the helmet off, I had anxiety issues.”
Hoffman’s story also highlights the link between addiction and
mental health, and the reason why American Addiction Centers chose
to share his story on World Mental Health Day. AAC specializes in
treating those struggling with addiction and co-occurring mental
health disorders. A recent AAC study also found that those with
anxiety, adjustment and depressive disorders were eight times more
likely than the general population to have a substance use
disorder.
“We started our docuseries to provide hope to those who are
struggling with this disease and their families,” said Stephen
Ebbett, AAC’s chief digital and marketing officer. “Through
sharing stories like Tony’s, we want them to know they are not
alone, and it’s never too late to start a new chapter.”
Hoffman now has more than 12 years in recovery.
“It doesn’t matter how low your life gets, there is a turning
point,” he says in the documentary. “It’s a decision you have to
make and a commitment you have to hold.”
