In Addiction and in Health


In Love With Meth and In Love with Each Other


     Meth, like other hard drugs, often begin as what has been called a “couple’s drug.” This story of Alex and Michelle is no different. One partner brings the meth into the relationship and so begins the dramatic love affair between all three of them, the highs with the lows, in addiction and in health.

     The photos are part of an education film for UCLA about drug addiction and the role they play in relationships. The photos are candid shots of actors and actresses during the staged filming for the educational docudrama.
