Divorce shatters the idyllic dream of a Midwestern housewife and plunges her into a cycle of despair and dependency. This episode was featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show on Friday, May 13th.
Reality TV at its most unvarnished and gripping.
Watch as addicts and their families confront the compulsions that are destroying their lives.
See how the parents of a shattered woman cope with their daughter’s addiction.
In INTERVENTION, people confront their darkest demons and seek a route to redemption. From compulsive gamblers to shopaholics, drug addicts to young people estranged from their families, INTERVENTION features real people at the breaking point as they are confronted by friends and family. In fly-on-the-wall style, INTERVENTION captures the drama as people grapple with their demons in an attempt to chart a course to recovery.
At 24, Sara had everything she ever wanted. She'd had a fairy-tale wedding in Hawaii, a beautiful baby girl, a house, three cars, and even competed in beauty pageants. It was all destroyed by divorce. Unable to cope, Sara turned to crystal meth, and now uses every day, all day if she can. She has lost everything, including custody of her daughter, and lives in an endless cycle of drugs, stealing, lying, drug testing, and court appearances. Her family says the only hope for Sara is an intervention.

Tammi is an alcoholic despite being part of a large and loving family that provided her with a good education. Daniel got hooked on meth after losing his father. Now interventions are their only hope.
Reality television at its most gripping.
Professional interventionists meet head-on two addicts on the verge of disaster.
Watch as addicts and their families confront the compulsions that are destroying their lives.
Millions of Americans struggle with addiction. Most need help to stop. In this powerful and gripping television series, people confront their darkest demons and seek a route to redemption. From compulsive gamblers to shopaholics to drug addicts, INTERVENTION™ profiles people whose dependencies or compulsive behaviors have brought them to a point of personal crisis and estranged them from their friends and loved ones. Each episode in the series ends with a surprise intervention staged by the family and friends of real people at their breaking point. They'll be offered a second chance. But will they take it?
Tammi, 45, an alcoholic, grew up in a family of six girls and is the daughter of a dentist and a medical technician. Her sisters say of their background, 'We were from a very good family. We were raised with good values, upper-middle class, all private Catholic schools... We had golf lessons, tennis lessons, swim lessons, all of it.'
After his father's death in 2001 Daniel's escalating dependence on methamphetamine and marijuana materialized to his mother Joy. She sought help in the form of religious based organizations that offered counseling for her son. Daniel was unresponsive, sinking deeper into addiction.

The picture of a functional alcoholic, Jacob started drinking and experimenting with drugs in high school. Now, to cope with his depression, he spends every night drinking and taking pills. Can he listen to the pleas for help coming from his mother who was once a drug transporter?
25-year old Jacob is addicted to alcohol and prescription drugs.
Though he holds a steady job as a banker, his nights are a blur of drinking and barroom brawls.
Can he accept help from his mother, once a drug transporter herself?
By day, Jacob is a banker. At night, he regularly consumes two pints of whiskey and a 12 pack of beer. The picture of a functional alcoholic, Jacob started drinking and experimenting with drugs in high school. Now, to cope with his depression, he is hooked on alcohol and prescription medication. A recent overdose, in which his heart stopped, has caused his parents to step into the picture.
When drunk, Jacob is often violent and confrontational. An intervention appears to be the only solution, but will Jacob listen to his mother, once a drug abuser and transporter herself? Though she once supplied Jacob and has served jail time, her only concern now is Jacob's well being.

Addiction can strike anyone, anywhere, but some communities are more vulnerable than others. The A&E series Intervention continues its intensely gripping coverage of addiction with Intervention In-Depth, a powerful extension of the Emmy Award-winning brand that uncovers the drug epidemics plaguing specific neighborhoods around the country. From Chicago, where heroin abuse is reaching epidemic proportions in both the inner city and affluent suburbs, to southern Ohio, where record use of prescription painkillers like Oxycontin, Percocet and Vicodin has put Scioto County on the DEA watch list for prescription drug trafficking, to the guilt-ridden pregnant addicts responsible for an alarming increase in drug-addicted newborns, Intervention In-Depth provides a candid and personal look at the devastation of addiction and the growing movement of people desperate to save their communities.

The latest 'in' drug isn't really that new--it's been around since the `80s. But ecstasy started really attracting attention in the late `90s when it became the drug of choice at the all-night dance parties known as raves. It wasn't long before it broke out of the club scene.
THE AGONY OF ECSTACY ventures from clandestine manufacturing labs in the Netherlands to the pulsating floors of New York City's hottest clubs, meeting with users, law enforcement professionals and doctors to explore every aspect of the drug. Find out why the international distribution of ecstasy is dominated by Israeli organized crime, and hear from users why they are drawn to the drug. Exclusive, behind-the-scenes footage from a U.S. Customs investigation highlights the efforts to halt its spread, while medical experts detail the long-term risks for users.
Join INVESTIGATIVE REPORTS™ for a comprehensive look at the latest battle in the war on drugs.
