The House on the Beach (1965)

Examines the work being done by Synanon's founder, Charles "Chuck" Dederich, in rehabilitating drug addicts. Synanon's volunteers live and work in a communal manner at a center whose approach to self-help is vastly different from recognized. Besides "kicking the habit" activities include music, dancing, attack therapy and a truth-telling session that came to be known as the "Synanon Game".
