WASHINGTON (AP) - Martin Sheen says a drug court saved the life of a friend of his who was self-destructing from drug and alcohol abuse.
The actor was in Washington this past week to urge Congress to provide funding for drug courts, which provide addicts with lifesaving alternatives to prison.
Sheen told George Stephanopoulos in an interview that aired Sunday on ABC's "This Week" that he used his friend, whom he did not name, as an example as someone whose addiction could have led to death.
