A Moving Look at DJ AM's Reality Series 'Gone Too Far'

Before Adam "DJ AM" Goldstein passed away in August of a drug overdose, he recorded a reality series that aimed to help young addicts. "The Insider" is giving you a look at the touching footage.

In the video, Adam is seen traveling the country and meeting with young people battling addiction.

Although Adam ended up losing his own battle with addiction, his family gave MTV the OK to use the footage. According to MTV, the Goldstein family released a statement that reads, "After careful consideration we have decided to air the show. Adam felt strongly that by doing this series, he could help other addicts who were at a crisis point to get sober. Adam was fully aware that if it were not for his own sobriety, he never would have achieved the level of success and happiness he had found. Helping people in their recovery was a huge part of Adam's life. It is our hope through airing this show that people will get to see the side of Adam that we knew and loved, not just the celebrity DJ, but the honest and caring person who gave so much of himself to help others. The decision to air the show has been difficult, but we do this with the profound belief that it will inspire others to seek help."

"Gone Too Far" premieres on October 12 on MTV.
