Plot

A teenaged drug addict is sent to Dr. Royce's controversial drug intervention program where the teenage addicts in the program confront each other in supervised group meetings. Also, in these meetings, the addicts are confronted by their families. The girl's mother want to remove her from the program because it upsets her that their daughter is being forced to associate with addicts who admit to stealing and trading sex to support their drug habits. They remain in denial until their daughter admits at a family confrontation meeting the full extent of her drug addiction. After this, they are able to address their own feelings about being the family of a hardcore drug addict. The daughter is reunited with her family only after all of them have acknowledged her addiction and accepted therapy for it.
