Elizabeth Addison is a rising composer, lyricist, playwright, and grateful recovering addict who brings us THIS IS TREATMENT, a powerfully evocative story of women recovering from drug addiction. Described as a 'drama filled, emotional roller coaster, tear jerker of the best variety,' Addison's new musical allows us to enter the world of treatment and forces a light upon issues that are too often kept in darkness. At its heart, THIS IS TREATMENT addresses themes that are both particular and universal: it is a celebration of women helping one another, and it is a testimony to the resilience of the human spirit.
