PORTLAND, Ore. -- Hundreds of people reached out for help as television stations across Oregon aired a documentary on the dangers of methamphetamine.

For the first time, more than two dozen Oregon television stations teamed up to donate air time to a half-hour special Tuesday night called “Crystal Darkness.”

The documentary highlighted the dangers of meth and how people could get help for their addiction or loved ones.

The story was told through young people who have gone through the depths of meth addiction.

Local churches, including Rolling Hills Community Church and New Beginnings Christian Center, showed the documentary and offered panel discussions afterward.

Ali Lapierre, a former addict, said she was impressed with the anti-meth campaign.

“I think for addicts still struggling, it offers hope. That when they see people in recovery, it will give them hope that addicts don’t have,” said Lapierre.

A phone bank was set up for the Tuesday airing of the documentary and took hundreds of calls from people searching for help.

Representatives from six other states were also on hand to get ideas for their own “Crystal Darkness” campaigns.
