Does any body ever tune in to the A&E show called Intervention?  It's a tough show to watch but well worth it....

It baffles me how they don't know its the show..By now,  most people have seen it or heard of it. If it were me, I would know immediately what it was. The season opener was unreal. Did anyone see it? About the asian girl who was addicted to I think it was fetanyl lolli pops. They are extremely strong and she was sucking on like 8 a day I think. She went crazy from them. She thought her pain came from colors or plants. Like she made her family wear the color maroon, because it was the only color that didn't cause her pain. It was crazy.

I don't know if it's scripted.. but I just have to realize that these people do have camera's in there face...which might make me act a little different... but then again.. I don't know... I just like the show!  

Tough to watch sometimes.. but helps to keep me clean...

Hi Queen - I have watched the show several times.  One evening, the show hit so hard that I ended up sobbing, it was both happiness because I was clean and also heartache for the person in the show - they ended up relapsing and back on the street.  Do you really think some of it is scripted?  It sure did not seem like it the few times I watched it.

Then we also have to realize that it is a form of Reality TV... and somewhat has to be scripted.. But Ima telling you.. if these people aren't really that screwed up.. they sure are good actors...

Hi avisg,

If you go to the A&E website, they have forums where they post updates on the show's participants & you can find out how they're doing. :)

You know oddly enough I dont like it.Only because it does not seem to be them that wants to get and stay clean its kind of like a family ambush its a good idea.I think its wonderful that they are all working together to support the addict but I am just wondering how long they stay clean after .

I think this is one of the best shows on tv. I believe it's won Emmys in the past.

Yes I watched both of them last night and they were both about pill addicts.  God the first one almost made me cry.  I couldn't believe how bad that woman neglected her family.  Then when she got back from rehab she left them like 3 weeks later!

I used to watch it all the time, some shows really hit home. I like hearing the interventionalists talk and give it to them straight. Good program.
