Maddie is a teenage girl dealing with addiction who has a reputation as a party girl who doesn’t think she has a problem, until she’s confronted one day by her school guidance counselor and is forced to choose between expulsion and rehab. Maddie makes the difficult decision to live with other recovering addicts at a sober living facility while facing the daily pressures of her teenage life. Based on the popular young adult novel by Blake Nelson.
Recovery Road isn't just another teen drama; it's a remarkably candid and often raw exploration of what it truly means to grapple with addiction as a young person. Eschewing easy answers, the series dives deep into the daily, hard-won battles within a sober living facility, portraying recovery not as a magical cure, but as a complex, often two-steps-forward, one-step-back journey.

The mood shifts masterfully between intense drama and moments of genuine camaraderie and levity, creating a truly human portrait of healing.
