MTV is moving forward with plans to air Adam “DJ AM” Goldstein’s drug intervention reality show — Gone Too Far — next week.

Adam was found dead of a drug overdose in his Manhattan loft on August 28.

The late deejay’s family has released a statement explaining why they want the footage rto air as Adam intended:

“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,” the statement reads. “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.”

Sean Clarkin, Executive VP of the Partnership for a Drug-Free America, says the show can be beneficial for recovering addicts struggling with their own vices. “Recovery can be extremely difficult and requires constant attention. But it’s important to know that it is, in fact, possible to present examples of people who are recognizing the need for treatment and beginning that journey.”

Gone Too Far will premiere on MTV Oct. 12.
