Gone Too Far is a 2009 American reality television series, featuring Adam Goldstein, better known as DJ AM, intervening to help people struggling with drug addiction.
Goldstein approached MTV in mid 2008, pitching the idea of a reality show that focused on his life to Tony DiSanto.
According to intervention expert BJ Hickman, who appeared in two episodes, Goldstein was clearly struggling with his addiction, stating "As soon as the cameras stopped, he put [the pipe] down.
Dr Harris Stratyner said that "Doing this show could certainly have been a relapse trigger for Mr. Goldstein", saying that recovering addicts are encouraged to stay away from situations that may place them in temptation.
[1] Melissa Camacho from Common Sense Media gave the series three out of five stars, saying "Unfortunately, since Gone Too Far is being aired after Goldstein's fatal overdose, many of the earnest messages he offers about recovery and empowerment are overshadowed by his own inability to beat drug addiction" and concluding the series "shows viewers how an addict, despite his or her own battles and failures, can still reach out to make a positive difference in people's lives.
