Synopsis: 

Yo, adicto tells how Javier Giner, an audiovisual professional, decides at the age of 30 to voluntarily enter a detoxification center. Unable to manage his vital anguish and the suffering he generates for himself and others, he has spent several years submerged in a self-destructive spiral of addiction to alcohol, drugs, and sex. In the moment of maximum darkness, he will make the decision to seek professional help moved by a desperate survival instinct.

Without knowing it, that gesture will change his life, turning him into a new person. The months that he spends in a detoxification center on the outskirts of Barcelona represent a journey of personal discovery, from guilt to reconciliation, a painful path to healing and redemption full of incredible characters: his treatment partners, the professionals of the center, his relatives... Yo, adicto is a visceral and exciting story that goes far beyond addiction.
