Meredith Baxter as a drug-addicted nurse in “Darkness Before Dawn” GREAT TV MOVIE – Meredith Baxter will always be the Queen of TV movies, and this 1993 movie is one of her all-time best! This video shows highlights from the first half of the movie. Based on a true story, this movie has Meredith as a drug addicted nurse who steals drugs from the hospital she works at. She is married to another addict, and they have a daughter. Meredith learns she’s pregnant again, and when the baby is born an addict, Meredith’s character decides to give drugs to her newborn baby.

Apparently Macaulay Culkin (little boy off Home Alone movies) only has 6 months to live due to drug addiction, holy shit – by bethwalker__ (random disclaimer)
Requiem for a Dream (very, very disturbing though)
Little Miss Sunshine
Requiem for a dream is possibly the single most disturbing film I have ever watched. It is about heroin addiction and deals with this topic in a heavy and graphic way. It is rated R for good reasons so I do not recommended this film for anyone under the age of 16.
Well there’s “Go Ask Alice”
Or “shattered spirits”
Both movies are fairly old but relate to drug/alchohol addictions.
love and other drugs
requiem for a dream
thirteen
blow
“Jesus’ Son.”
“Another Day in Paradise.”
“Panic in Needle Park.”
“Crazy Heart.”
‘Trainspotting’ all the way! And ‘Pop Skull’. ‘Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas’ too, although I wouldn’t say they’re “struggling” with drug addiction but rather succumbing to it.
What other’s have said:
Requiem for a Dream
Trainspotting (but you’ll prob need sub-titles 😉
Rush
I thought ‘Blow’ blew lol
Barfly (about booze)
Actually it was Spun that blew, Blow’s not a bad film.
Blow.
Its about coke.
I THINK Johnny Depp is in it. Or John Leguizamo.
And Rent. Its actually about a bunch of different things but one person has a drug problem.
Is? this why Michael J. Fox is so shaky?
way? to be subtle…
Does anyone know where I can watch his? ?
This is the current? state of nursing in Alberta Canada. Abuse by nurses is extreme a major part of the attack is against First nations women and children. Dope fiend nurses influence amount of medications for each group then they steal meds causing over-doses to the patient who was never receiving that much medication. Reliance on racist hate stereotypes. Nurses are angry abusive hostile aggressive against children who they see as cute able to get funding. HATING EVEN CHILD CANCER PATIENTS.
Is this the one that has a? young Kirsten Dunst in it?
this looks good,would? someone be kind enough to put up the whole movie please?
When I was in high school, I used to tease my parents why they never had to worry about me using drugs–a pill much stronger than tylenol would make me throw up, anything in my nose would cause a sinus infection, smoke of any kind makes me cough? and I’m scared to death of needles. Don’t know of anything that’s left.
they? left that oldest daughter all alone??
Creepy!?
The actress who portrays one of the nurses is the same actress who portrays Ricky’s foster mother on the TV series The Secret Life of the American Teenager.?
