GETTING NORMAL
contrasts the current experiences of methadone maintenance therapy patients with
their past experiences as heroin addicts. Although methadone has allowed thousands
of people to lead happy, productive, and law-abiding lives, many of its beneficiaries
suffer the societal stigma of relying upon a medication rather than remaining completely
abstinent. This film goes beyond labels and slogans by demonstrating the day-to-day
differences between the methadone and heroin lifestyles.
