Tanya Young to Host Docu-Drama PIVOTAL ADDICTION

Tanya Young Williams, TV Personality, Celebrity Advocate Against Domestic Violence and CEO of Pivot Treatment and Wellness Centers, hosts a new show called Pivotal Addiction. Pivotal Addiction explores the shocking realities in the life of an addict. Through sit down interviews with struggling addicts, the 15-minute Youtube distributed program depicts the raw, honest conversation about the addict's numerous overdoses, jail time, suicide attempts and daily abuse of opioids, heroine, methadone, cocaine and alcohol. "Pivotal Addiction is 'Intervention' meets 'Dr. Phil' meets 'Undercover Boss.' The conversations are authentic, emotional and riveting. The viewer will be impacted!" says Young Williams.

Pivotal Addiction will premiere Saturday, March 30, 2019 at 8 PM on Pivot Treatment and Wellness Centers, self-titled Youtube channel. The episodes will run bi-weekly. The guests detail their paths to addiction. The guest addicts will share the horrors of their everyday lives including their brushes with death. "Many will tune-in to watch the "train wreck" but our program is about much more. Pivotal Addiction endeavors to help the addicts turn their lives around," says Young Williams.

The opioid epidemic and increasing drug overdoses in America is real and measurable. As reported by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, more than 70,200 Americans died from drug overdoses in 2017, including illicit drugs and prescription opioids-a 2-fold increase in a decade. Young Williams, the CEO and Co-founder of Pivot Treatment and Wellness Centers, along with Dr. Jacob Elefant, believe that given the right treatment plan; including supportive medication when necessary, intensive therapy, and a holistic wellness curriculum, many addicts can Pivot and turn their lives around.
