Intervention, Season 4

Millions of Americans struggle with addiction. Most need help to stop. 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. Witness in Season 4 of this hit series the destructive behaviors of addicts including a 26-year-old in denial of her addiction to prescription drugs; a former DJ who every day risks permanent brain damage as a result of his hallucinogenic drug use; a soldier who served two tours in Iraq and is now a severe alcoholic coping with post-traumatic stress disorder; and a depressed young woman who has starved herself down to 90 pounds. At the end of each episode, the addicts will be confronted by family, friends and a professional interventionist and given a choice: go to treatment and get help or face exile and isolation from those who love them most.
