DID YOU KNOW STEVE-O FROM MTV'S JACKASS WAS HUFFING NITROUS OXIDE & SNORTING COKE?

This isn't the typical egg-in-a-frying-pan drug analogy.

"Steve-O: Demise and Rise" is a firsthand look at the "Jackass" star's struggle with drugs and alcohol addiction. Executive producer Tim Healy says it's the best public service announcement you'll ever see.

"It's a really good example of what happens when you allow your life to get out of control," Healy told the Daily News Friday. "It's a very visual, strong depiction of what happens when you make the wrong choices. But there's an underlying message of hope - that people really do have the ability to change."

"Steve-O: Demise and Rise," premiering May 3 at 10 on MTV, is a self-shot documentary that captures Steve-O's (real name Stephen Glover) darkest hours, including explicit scenes of him snorting cocaine, huffing nitrous oxide and vandalizing his next-door neighbor's apartment.

The home movies are interspersed with MTV-shot interviews with Steve-O's friends, including his "Jackass" co-stars Johnny Knoxville and Bam Margera; Dr. Drew Pinsky, the addiction medicine specialist, who helped with his intervention; Steve-O's father and sister, and others who have come into contact with him over the years, such as Jimmy Kimmel.

The footage goes back to when he was just 14 years old.

"He's always documented his life, the good and the bad," said Healy, who first met Steve-O last year during a "Jackass" special for MTV. "We didn't look for the most gratuitous shots for the doc, but we didn't cut anything because it was too graphic or too disturbing. Everything is integral to the story."

(MTV is also planning an intervention-style reality show with former addict and celebrity DJ Adam Goldstein, aka DJ AM.)

The final act of "Demise" captures Steve-O's appearance on ABC's "Dancing With the Stars," his first foray in the public eye since getting sober, which he has been for just over a year now.

"It's important that this whole television show not be perceived as some kind of 'I'm better, look at me because I'm cured now thing,'" Steve-O tells the cameras. "I'm never going to be cured. I could end up loaded tomorrow ... this isn't something you get better from. I'm just here to say that things got really bad for me, to the point where I'm willing to do whatever it takes to stay sober on a daily basis."
