The show will be entitled Steve-O: Demise and Rise and will be a raw, first-hand account of Steve-O’s downward spiral with drugs and alcohol. He hit rock bottom and, thanks to an intervention by his friends and loved ones, he was able to start on his way to recovery and a sober life. The documentary will air on MTV on Monday, May 3 at 10 pm ET.

“Addiction is a brain disease that kills. Steve suffered from the profound consequences of long-standing polydrug addiction. The disease brought him to the edge of sanity and one night nearly took his life,” said Dr. Drew Pinsky. “His recovery has been an inspiring but gut-wrenching process. Steve remains an inspiration to all. Those that have come to know him through this process love him.”

“This documentary captures the most frightening moments of my friend at the apex of his addiction. I know because I was there,” said Johnny Knoxville. “More importantly though it offers hope, and documents the tremendous amount of courage and hard work on Steve-O’s behalf to turn that hope into a healthy person.”
