HALT: The American Rehab Experience, set amongst multiple American rehabs, is an undeniably wild ride through the psyche of addicts and alcoholics across the inevitable jails, inst itutions, and death that become their lives. Graham Reid-Van Every takes us through what is occurring from a patient's perspective, whether it be something spoken in a smoking area, or being preached by a therapist in a class on the dangers of drug and alcohol use. HALT shows the stark, specific, environment and interactions that are occurring in what is becoming an exponentially larger industry by the day. This body of work that defines multiple first-hand accounts within America's rehab system depicts the raw, gritty reality of "recovery" classes, conversation, and day-to-day life that is occurring in treatment centers across America. HALT gives the reader a fly on the wall's experience of what the general culture of rehab in America is like and opens a greater conversation regarding what can be done to potentially improve a sector of healthcare that contains one of the lowest percentile success rates within the entirety of the American healthcare system.
