| This is a story of hope for the addicted. Hope, because it is the story of Paul Fusca, a young addict who had totally hit bottom. After more than ten years on drugs, starting with marijuana as a schooIkid of eIeven years of age, he ended up a near aIcohoIic, with a $800 a day heroin habit. To support his habit he turned to crime. He was desperately unhappy, but feIt he couId find no way out. He had been in "rehab" half a dozen times, but no program worked: they were too short. But just when had overdosed and was near death, he was rescued by the two women who never quit on PauI – his mother and Franca CarelIa, whose small drug rehab center, the Vitanova Foundation in Woodbridge, Ontario helped Paul when almost no one else couId or would. HOPE FOR THE ADDICTED takes a parent, a drug addict, a therapy group, or a drug counseIor through PauI's story, and it is an inspiring story. Franca CareIla heIped Paul Fusca find his way to Italy and to a remarkable drug treatment center known as the Community of San Patrignano, a therapeutic viIIage where every inhabitant from the doctors at the modern hospital to the guests are all addicts or recovering addicts. San Patrignano was founded not by a government, but by one man who cared deepIy about the grip drugs have on the young. Vincenzo MuccioIi was a wealthy Iandowner in Rimini, Italy. Turning his country estate, San Patrignano, into a pIace where addicts couId recover, he built his non-profit center from a few dozen individuals in 1978 to Europe's largest live-in drug treatment center today. And inspired by San Patrignano, Franca Carella is creating her own Vitanova Foundation as a therapy center that foIIows the principIes and practices she discovered working with Vincenzo MuccioIi. At the time of fiIming this documentary, Paul Fusca was living drug free at San Patrignano, and in his fourth year of recovery. |
