This 38-minute introductory program teaches the viewer to turn former street skills into "street smarts" for staying clean and sober. Seven recovering addicts from urban neighborhoods who are now doing well describe the real situations they face every day-- and how they deal with them so that they don't pick up. They stress 8 essential skills:

* Accepting disappointments without resorting to drug use

* Coping with chronic stress

* Resisting the lure of "easy money"

* Avoiding going back to the old spot

* Resisting the pull of the street life

* Planning to handle offers

* Maintaining complete abstinence

* Using a support system.

This 39-minute program focuses specifically on early recovery, teaching the viewers to prepare for the challenging high-risk situations they will inevitably encounter in their first weeks and months back in the community. Specifically, it covers these essential teaching points:

* Make a housing plan before leaving prison or rehab

* Arrange to live in a safe and sober housing situation

* Avoid living with any active drug or alcohol abusers

* Get rid of any drug supplies or paraphernalia you still have

* Prepare to handle the inevitable triggers and cravings

* Plan ahead to handle running into "get-high buddies" and dealers
