In the past, MTV’s teen-led programming possessed a certain duality that made predicting the next project tough, from frivolous confections like Sweet 16 to more sobering slices of life like 16 And Pregnant. For its next project, the network is retraining its focus on another fairly undocumented element of youth: teenage addiction. 16 And Recovering take a look inside a Boston high school that was specifically erected as an educational safe haven for teens battling substance abuse. MTV released the trailer for the four-part series today, which serves up real tragedy and triumph in equal measure.
