This show is on A & E and usually shows on sundays. It is really quite a good show. It can really scare the shit out of you though, but sometimes thats what you need. Tonight, i believe there is a chiropractor who does Heroin still, thats pretty insane. I love it when the intervention and rehab works and they put their life back together, its one of the few shows that can truly be uplifting and it is really well done. I would highly recommend it to you all.

Good show, it can be very moving and if you run into the same problems with your own family it could help to give a bit of guidance.

haha. yeah, the people are pretty sick. There was a girl on meth that just made me want to throw up watching her search for veins. But when they get clean, it is soooo cool to watch.

Yea, I know a lot of people like that...crackheads/heroin addicts. So it's kind of a hard show for me to watch.

I mean, saying because you smoke pot you'll end up in a gutter sucking dick with a needle in your arm is kind of an overstatement.

I like this show except when they are using needles. That stuff just grosses me out. Very interesting and sad show though.

Who was that blonde girl that was hooked on drugs and kept getting naked and shouting at the camera crew? That episode was insane.

As weird as this is to say, this is one of my favorite shows. Once you start watching, you get sucked right in. The people they feature, who's lives are so out of control, absolutely blow me away. Although this could essentially happen to anyone, the back story of these people really give you an insight into what may have pushed them to thinking their vice was the only way out. It's quite a unique show, especially when they accept rehabilitation and get their lives straight. I'm a sucker for happy endings, haha.

I'm just wondering for how long the show can keep up...there have already been a few people that caught onto the fact that they were being set up for an intervention. And now that its getting more known & popular, im curious to see how many more they can 'trick' into believing that theyre actually being filmed for a documentery.

One of my favorite shows.

At times it's down right funny, and others is insanely depressing.

i love this show but i usually take the route of getting high and watching for unintentional humor which it has an abundance of.

I would say it's hard to watch because of what a joke the episode is, but this girl is serious.

This show is so depressing.
the only one i didn't feel bad watching was the one where the chick huffs duster all day. it just makes me laugh.

however. the last one i watched was some mother of three who had like 4 DUIs and was drinking mouthwash to get drunk. so, so sad.

I watched Sebastian and Marcel the other day. They were fucked in a big way and their parents were just completely stupid.

Like everyone else pointed out that show can be really hard to watch sometimes.

Just watched this.

A lot of the time, actually, most of the time, I feel bad for the families way more than I do about these people.

My mom is obsessed with this show. You'd think she'd get her fill of this stuff while working at a rehab, but I think she likes the happy endings on the show.

Used to be all about this show, but now it's just boring and repetitive. They ran out of cool stuff, like that one dude who needed a video game intervention. Super lolz.

The only ones I really look forward to watching still are eating disorder ones because I think that's so much more fucked and stems deeper (usually) than someone who tried meth once and is addicted now. The druggies are just stupid and there's a chemical problem but the eating disorder ones are conscious self esteem problems. So sad to watch and so good to see them get help.

Which one is that? I can never keep the names straight.



SHIT have you guys seen the one with the absolute batshit crazy Asian girl who's brother was forced by their parents to live with her? This spoiled bitch was absolutely insane and I felt so horrible for that poor guy, she made him change her tampons and he can't have flowers with certain colors because they made powerful energy sources and made her go even more batshit.

Kind of ignorant to pigeonhole drug addicts as "stupid." I'd say there's about as much to drug addiction (in most cases--especially the ones covered by Intervention) as there is to eating disorders.

Rachel is the girl who was living on the streets in NYC and addicted to heroin.

I did some Googling to find the episode you're referring to. It's Linda, and can be viewed here in three parts: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohs0itLfR2c

This show is good, I have been watching it for a few years now. But i remember back in the old days they would have a broader range of addictions. One of the most disturbing was the wife who would throw up in freezer bags and store them in her closet and only throw them away like once a week. It was disgusting seeing her carry 3 or 4 huge bags filled to the brim with vomit.

Other than that, I am getting tired of the typical speed users. The two young brothers who were dealing out of their parents house was pretty crazy also, after the show they were sent back to their home country to live with relatives.

Relax, bro, I was just talking, its not like I'm dead serious and would seriously tell a drug addict he's stupid. And if I did, I'd tell the same to the ED person. Haha calm.

Thanks for the link though, that kid up there wanted to check it out!

WOW Intervention marathon today with a bunch I haven't seen. Right now is this one with two twin girls who are anorexic and it's CRAZY. They literally follow every step each other takes, like from the fridge to the stove even just so the other doesn't burn more calories than them.

And it's so sad cause their parents are first generation Polish immigrants and they're talking about Auschwitz and how skinny people were and it just makes them feel like shit. It's so sad watching these sweet as hell parents say how torn up they are :'(
