An intervention is an orchestrated attempt by family and friends to get a family member, friend, or loved one to seek help for an addiction or other similar problems. When one has tried everything possible to inspire or convince their loved one that they need help, but they will not admit into a program, an addiction intervention program is a successful tool in helping you help your loved one escape from the grips of denial, rationalization and projection.
By approaching them from a place of love and compassion, with help facilitated by a addiction interventionist, you will be helping them understand the problem that they have and that a treatment program is needed. Using a professional interventionist will not only ensure that you have taken the appropriate approach, but will also give you peace of mind knowing that you have expressed your love and concern in a professional, impacting, and very effective manner.
Addiction Intervention Process
An intervention is a very strategic process that must be facilitated and properly executed by an addiction intervention specialist to ensure desired results. In order to effectively perform a substance intervention, an intervention team will be established and then thoroughly prepared with the information required for attaining success. All parties involved will understand the purpose, process and techniques of the intervention.
Hola, nada en la vida sería más maravilloso que pudiesen ayudar a mi hermano, el es adicto al alcohol, toma desde los 12 años y ya tiene 46, ha estafo en anexos y no le han ayudado, ha sido suspendido del trabajo muchas veces, tiene 3 hijos y el mayor se droga y no ha podido hacer nada co su vida…el mediano toma y vive co. El…ahora haces esas cosas juntos….me da mucha tristeza ver como ha sido su vida y le pido adiós le de una oportunidad más, mi padres se están consumiendo por su causa….los pone mal verle y saber que no hace nada por dejar esa adicción…el no acepta que tiene un problema…..no acepta que el alcohol le ha traído todas las desgracias que ha vivido. Mi hermano lo amo y lo extraño…ya que ahora es alguien completamente extraño a lo que conocía. Dios quiera y tenga suerte, sería tremendo poder darle una oportunidad…con la ayuda de Dios todo se puede. Muchas gracias y gracias por convertir corazones y dar esperanza de vida. Dios con uds.

Hello, my name is Annette and I am writing in concern with my baby brother Anthony, he has revealed to one of my sisters that he is abusing cocaine and to me he has confessed using heroin. He is 26 years old and has his whole life ahead of him and we all fear for him due to the fact that he has lost 2 really good jobs in the course of less than 5 months due to his addiction, he has alienated himself from the family and at times speaks very ignorantly of leaving and not speaking to any of us again, he speaks obscenely to all of us and has even gotten physical with some of us in the past, we have reached out because we now fear for his life, he has threatened to kill himself and we fear he will hurt himself under the influence of the drugs, we would absolutely feel in debt with the shows producers if we could have you guys step in and help us with our brother, our economical statuses do not allow us to help him, we live in Puerto Rico but he moved to New Jersey to get his life together and it has just gotten worse, so we desperately ask for your help, we want our sweet little Anthony back, please help us!!

She is the youngest of 4 of my children, at this point we don’t know what to do, she has been done a detox and went to program and lasted almost 90 days, she was so happy the whole family was there for her, but she relapsed. She is doing so bad that we don’t know what to do anymore it’s breaking the family apart we all love her so much and want her to get help she is willing to but we don’t have the money to put her in a program that would be a long term and that would help her, she is a beautiful person and is willing to help anyone, outside the drug we just want help for my daughter before something happens to her. I don’t want to have to bury my daughter she’s suppose to bury me. She has a whole life ahead of her, she has a niece and a nephew that love her but she’s never around to able to enjoy them, she loves them very much. So we desperately ask for your help in getting my little baby girl back, Please help us. Thank You.
My name is Jessica. I am writing in concern for my children’s father. I grew up with him in high school and never knew who he really was until we decided to get together. We have battled his addiction off and on for four years. When I found out he was abusing pills I never knew how really bad it was till about three times we tried to admit him in to rehab. Now we have been split up for almost three years and found out he was doing heroin and meth. He has disappeared for about a year before and is in and out of the kids life. Every time he decides to come back around he is always trying to say he is better but everyone knows he is not. He will fight with me and his family about how he is sober then find out he is not. I do not know what to do anymore. Our son is always wondering were he is and why he came for a day or so and disappears for awhile. I have battled with him with his addiction and now battled with our kids for him. I will never tell the kids why he is the way he is I always tell them he is working out of town or he is sick and does not feel good. I am so tired of my kids hurting not understanding and I will never tell them no matter how much they think it is my fault, they are way to young. I have no idea what to do anymore. When he comes back around he fights with me how he should take the kids or they should stay the night. Then he will ask them if they want to stay the night and of course they want to go because they miss him and he will make it seem like its my fault in front of the kids why they can not stay with him, then I have to deal with it when me and the kids go home. Sometimes I wish he would just stay out of the lkids life so he will stop hurting them but I know the need there dad. There dad can be a really good person he has just decided to go down the wrong path please help us!

My name is Chelsie. I have recently broken up with my boyfriend because of his addiction. He is a very respected man. His name is Jon; he is a paramedic, EMT and CPR teacher. We live in South Dakota; on the Cheyenne River Sioux Reservation. I am writing because he is an amazing man who has made great progress for his people. His addiction is keeping him from continuing on a positive path for him and his people. He is addicted to injecting pain pills. He has lied to me ever since we met, I have seen the scars and marks but he continued to lie. He has gone far enough to use other parts than just his arms. He needs this, his family needs this and so does his tribe. He is a very respected man and he has a lot to offer to the world. Way to intelligent to throw it all away. He helps people for a living and has seen some awful situations in his life; PTSD is a huge factor in his addiction. I’ve tried to help and his father won’t mention it to him because he doesn’t want to “rock the boat” (his words not mine). We need help up here. Email: cdeckard11@gmail.com.
I guess this website is only for teaching and not to give help. I’ve lived with my husband for almost 30 years and he’s been an alcoholic every one of those years but he’s always been a great provider…but now due to a medical injury I became a paraplegic and he has lost his job and refuses to find another job. He drinks from the time he wakes up until he goes to bed as well as other substance abuse.
I need help. My daughter just graduated from college and believe it or not, is a substance abuse counselor. But she can’t get involved in our case…she can’t counsel her family. She has tried though, we have both talked till we are blue in the face. I am unable to leave and leave him on his own. Because he will not work we are sinking financially and he won’t talk or help me. He walks away when I try to talk to him about it. Because we don’t have the money anymore I am lacking in medical equipment I need. I can not get the rehab I desperately need. If we had the income I could possibly be getting rehab that I need and could possibly be walking today. I also have major dental problems that needs attention but we don’t have the money.
I need help!!! He has a heart of gold and I know he loves me but something has to change. I cant see myself living like this for the rest of my life. It’s gotta change!
I was directed here from a prevention tv program. Every-time I see such a program it brings me to tears reflecting on my own experience. I see the one addicted, the pain they and the ones affected by it all. I watch in hopes he/she is moved enough to get help and again watch in hopes the outcome is good. The ones in that persons life can either enable them to continue or find help to stop it. If it keeps going it can continue until tragedy. Im posting this to give praise and approval for interventions that can change lives and as hard as the process is the alternatives can be awful. I was a lucky one, I performed my own intervention. I studied the process that the drugs I used effected my body and mind. I found that the high I was getting was the effect of my heart expanding and my brain losing oxygen, I finally found out after many times that the withdrawal was worth ending the cycle and that not even the slightest return to the drug was worth repeating the whole thing again and again. I have been free from crack for over 4 years now and know the tiniest sample of the drug can return me to ruin. Any one who recovers as I have can know the blessing and freedom from addiction and recovery often means the desire to help others. I urge anyone who is addicted to find the relief I have found, any one around you who is addicted often can not do it alone as I have, We need to sponsor these programs and help each other with additions. The longer we wait, the longer the cycle continues until disaster.
TY Gene. I have 3 to deal with. Programs are so costly for one person, let alone three. I am going to have them do the research like you did and maybe this will get them to snap back to reality!
Gene, I praise you on your 4 years of being sober! Every day is a battle and you are winning!

I need advise. I just reunited with a childhood friend to find out she has been addicted to crystal for over 20 years and has been she has Pulminary heart disease and had about 6 months to live. Her boyfriend of 19 years is also addicted. She had lost both her sister and her mother to this drug and now she’s about to meet the same fate. She wants to live, she’s wants to get clean, but is it too late? She could maybe prolong her life but she’d have to get clean first to take the medication. She probably would not get on a doner list because she caused it by doing drugs. My question to everyone is, “if she had been told she’s going to die either way, should she get sober? ” What can I do to help her. I want her to leave this earth with a clean mind and spirit. It’s so tragic. Please pray for her salvation. Any advise out there?
Hi my name is Alyson and I’m really concerned about my 23 year old brother and 53year old father. My brother had been addicted to cocaine for 6 years now and my father has been and is addicted to basically every drug for 20 + years. My brother had a 6 year old son and a child on the way. I don’t want to lose either of them.
Hi. I am writing because I have an 18 year old brother who will be 19 in July who is on meth. Our whole family (the ones that know) are concerned and are so worried about him. He doesn’t talk to any of us. He is staying with some girl he barely even knows and no one ever sees him. None of us can help him by ourselves right now. I am so scared my brother is going to mess his life up. He has a 14 month old nephew (my son) who used to laugh and just love him , but he never sees him anymore. None of us do. Everyone has tried everything and we just can’t help him. I can’t help but get to tears when I think about this because I love my brother so much and I want him to be safe and live a good life. He got his GED then his welding certificate from college. He never got a job once he got out of college. He has been bumming off everyone and now he will not even ask any of us for money. And I think its because he doesn’t want us too see how bad he is. We want to stop this before its too late Please help…. God Bless

He had everything going for him college degree retired from air force wonderful home nice nice things now NOTHING. My brother started out taking loritabs now he is addicted to oxys.

I need someone to help me with this. I just can’t stand to see this go on anymore. These last couple of years has been so horrible. Please someone help me and my family.
How about a person who I’d addicted…reaching and screaming for help to gain control over the addiction and personal growth? Oh…guess that wouldn’t make for a tv show. tatntude@gmail.com!
Hi my name is Barbara and I am a recovering addict that has been clean now for a year of of heroin and prescription pain pills. I am looking to get help for my best friend Kelly who is addicted to heroin. She claims that she wants to get help but can not afford it and she does not have insurance. Although when the subject of her getting clean comes up she gets very defensive and also claims that she “needs” to get high because she has her fiancee’s mother and sick uncle (who are both addicted to pain killers) living with them and the only way that she can deal with them is to get high. A typical excuse for an addict considering most addicts don’t take responsibility for their addiction or actions. Most everyone in her family are addicted to heroin. I am so scared that she is going to kill herself or someone else. She gets high all the time and drives with her 4 year old daughter in the car while she is nodding out behind the wheel! She has gotten into a few car accidents where luckily no one was injured but I’m scared that the next one may take someone’s life. I have not really spent to much time with her in the last year because since I got clean I don’t want to be around the drugs or around her while she is high, but I also don’t want to give up on her! She really is a great person! I fear for her 4 year old daughters life for a couple of reasons but the biggest reason is that, Kelly uses in front of her daughter all the time. Last year before I stopped hanging out with her at her house, Kelly had put her heroin on a plate with a razor blade and a straw and placed it on her dresser unsupervised and went outside. When she went back in to get her next fix everything was gone, plate and all! She tore her room apart when she finally found the plate and razor and straw but her heroin was wet and out of a gram there was maybe enough for one line left. I was hoping that maybe it just spilled but after looking at her daughters face, she has heroin all over it and her nose!!! Kelly would not call 911 in fear that she would go to jail and have her daughter taken away! I was so scared for her daughter I was in tears! So after that day is when I stopped going over there because I could not watch her abuse herself and further more her daughter anymore! She is in desperate need of a wake up call and help but I can’t do it alone!!!! Please can someone help me before I have to bury my best friend or worse….bury her innocent 4 year old daughter!!!!! Thank you sincerely Barbara Miller
Call 911 if that little girl dies its on you. You enable by sitting back and watching that abuse. Call give her the wake up call please don’t allow an innocent child to live like that call your local child protective services. I have been through this with my own sister they choose to live like that that little girl did not choose this. I plead with you call you don’t want their death on your conscience!!
She will have to get rid of all of her friends and family to become clean first off! It took me years to learn this! I always tried to keep my drug addict friends and try to get clean and wondered why it was not working! Now I have been clean for two years and am not attracted to people that do drugs in any way and see that was one thing I should have done sooner! Me moving a couple counties away helped a ton also!
I did not see the bottom half of your letter! I would definitely rat her out for the sake of that child! You would be saving her life! She has no choice but her mother does and do not think it will not happen to her because it is a big possibility!
I am concerned about my sister. She has everything that life could offer but she is very depressed so she drinks and has become an alcoholic. She uses the phone when she is drunk curses all of her friends and family. She fights her husband and threatens to kill him. I have lost 5 siblings and I am afraid for her. She is a diabetic and goes on drinking sometimes 3 to 4 days a week. She takes depression pills but still drinks. My dad was an alcoholic, therefore none of us can drink socially. Three other siblings are/were alcoholics. What can I do to help her? Please help me so I don’t lose another sibling.

Hello my name is Sarah Leaman. I am a recovering addict of pain pills. I have been clean for almost two years now. I recently had a baby boy in August of 2013. I am writing to get help for my mother. My mother is 55 years old and abuses pain pills. My mom has high blood pressure and problems breathing. I am afraid these health problems were caused from abusing pain pills. She doesn’t come over and see me or my child and we live in the same neighborhood 10 steps away. She use to be the ideal grandmother to my niece and nephews before she started using. She has to have a roommate to help with rent and bills because all of her money goes to pills. More than ever I am concerned with her health. My mother is so in-denial about her addiction that I don’t know know what to do anymore. Please please help me. I don’t know where else to turn.
Hi! My name is Rachelle. I have been on some sort of pain medication since my accident in 1994. I started out on Vicodin, then went and got on Methadone from 1998 till 2000, I had to go and detox off 120mg a day, I survived, but thought I was really going to die, when released the Dr. told me to go get on suboxone , so I did, then the Dr. that was giving me that got shut down, so I did find another Dr. that put me on Oxycodone and Opana ER. I am still on that, I know I have Disc Degenerative Disease with 6 hern. disc, and I know I could be on something that is not a narcotic to control the pain, but I need help

My dad blames everything on my mom and does nothing to help with my brother all he does is scream at my mom, my brother tells my mom if he kicks him out his going to kill himself and that is going to be her fault, there was a time when he slept with knives under his pillow. We don’t have founds to get someone to help us, my brother refuses to get help. Please help I don’t know what to do is affecting all of us in so many ways.

Hi my name is Christina and I am writing in hopes that someone can help my family before it is to late.I have a brother who think about nothing but a way to get high.. He makes life hard for my mom and for my family.My mom worry so much that I can not believe that she is still here with us. But the drug have such a hold on my brother that he just do not care. We had a hard life growing up that he might use the drugs to help him not think about the past. I can not trust him to even let him stay at my house. He will take things that don’t belong to him for his drugs. We just worry that if we don’t get him some help soon that he will not be here with us much longer. Jail is not somewhere we want him to go back to, he could get drugs in jail just like on the street.I talked to him today and he was sick because he didn’t have the drugs to get high…so sad!!!!!!!!! He is a father of three and he can not even do good at that.PLEASE IF YOU CAN HELP CALL ME ASAP 910-258-4425…THANKS and have a wonderful day. PLEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE HELP MY FAMILY

This is what my daughter said from her call from jail “Mom please help me, I promise if you get me out I will go to rehab.” My daughter was arrested on 6/12/14. She has been addicted to meth, pills & alcohol since she was 14 and now 25. She has a heart of gold and very beautiful and talented. What 25 year old female can take apart a car and put it back together? She can sew, interior decorate, hair, pet care, etc.
Please help her so she can succeed and pursue her dreams.
She’s got numerous charges for drugs to occupied, I.D. theft to intent to litter fict. bill/note/check and many numerous charges throughout the years. She has been in and out of trouble. Her preliminary hearing is set for end of June. She has a beautiful 6 year old little boy that misses her very much. As grandparents my husband and I have been raising him. He prays every night “Now I lay me down to sleep… He states “please help my mommy get well so she can get a job and be with me.”
My husband and I have been happily married for 35 years. We can’t afford to get her rehab.
I’ve watched your show and want to give it my all to get my daughter the help she needs.
Please help her she is now asking and promising!!!!
I hope my daughter can get help!!!!
I am in desperate need of information on an intevention for my husband of 26 years. He is helplessly addicted to alcohol and it is ruining our marriage. Please someone contact me with information.
AA (alcoholics anonymous) can be a great starting place. and they also provide support, and resources, for both the addicted, and the family. Primarily it’s for the addicted, but they also are there for the family whos lives are impacted by their loved ones addiction to alcohol.

What if you are addicted to something way worse than all of these such as self harm then what do you do?
Addiction is not limited to just meds and drinking… SIB is another thing that can be addictive… especially for those who have the chemical release in the brain that can happen when this is done.. Can you reach out to a therapist? or local mental health center?

I worry about him all the time and he scares me to the point where I don’t think I’m safe even living with him. Please help.

I lost my oldest son 4 years 1month and 26 days ago. He was with me 25 years 6 months and 13 days. Since his death my other 2 sons are a mess. 1 is a combat veteran with PTSD and turned to drugs the other just turned to drugs. I guess this is their way of coping with their loss. I have tried to help but now I’m just angry. We all went thru the same tragedy. My fear is I’m going to bury another child if not both. I’m sure I don’t know all the drugs they are on but I’m not stupid, we all know. They are now 26 & 28. They have both done a 30 day program but they need help. I need them to be ok I can’t bury another child. I could make a list of the drugs I know about but that list is the ones everyone has mentioned. My family needs help to put us back together even though we are missing one. We can’t even have family dinners or pictures because it’s too hard knowing one of us is gone. PTSD and the loss is the root of the problem but now I think they just like being high. I managed to pull myself thru the best I can but it still feels like yesterday. I don’t have the strength left to deal with their drug problems and all that goes with it trying to keep myself together and have my career. I’ve put everything into helping them and didn’t have someone to get me thru. I have found my peace by getting involved in some charities and changing my career to something I have a passion for. I needed to feel something besides pain and I want my children to be able to do the same. I still have walls and don’t let many people inside my world but yet in my career I deal with people. My family needs help, all of us for different reasons. My boys are addiction, mine is grief and loss and how to learn to be happy (if I’m truly happy that means I let go of my grief and that’s what I hold onto to hold onto my son. I have been diagnosed with PTSD but I can function at work because the only person I have is me.. My daughter is a lot like me that way and it’s not healthy. Is there some kind of family help out there? I don’t have the financial resources for us, I’m single and there is no father in the picture at all, just me. I just can’t do this anymore and I want my grandsons to have a good and healthy childhood. That is the basics of my story but there are a lot more details. We don’t live in an area that has a lot of help. I just want to put what’s left of my family back together and have my kids healthy, happy and to live their lives to the fullest. I know the son I lost would want his family to get thru this. He was such a good person and so full of life. He was military also. I have tried the resources thru the military but I’ve given up on that. Please if anyone reads this and has any ideas or knows of programs I would love to talk to you.. ~ thank you JJ
Im not sure were I go to try to get an intervention for my mom. Im scared and would love for her to get help b4 letting her in my life. I am 27 yrs old and when I was 2 my dad won custody of me and my sister and brother due to my mother not showing up to court. I was always told she was passed out and didnt wake up on time. She gave up and never faught. My dad took us to make a better life for us. He worked 3 jobs at times to support us. When I was 11 my sister contacted my mom and my mother said she was clean and have been for 3 years so my dad allowed her to visit. My younger brother dicided he wanted to go back to cali with her.. I was shocked and devistated… I called everyday I got scared bc our talks became distant and weve always been close.. I then asked if I could go see my mom and brother to so at 11 I got on a plane by myself from minnisota to cali. When I got there it all became a blur.. the next thing I remember is waking up in the same cloths a week later.. I dont even remember the whole ride to her house.. she said I was just sick from the climate change.. that I slept the whole time I remember looking at me sad.. but then it was like everything was normal for a while.. but soon I started realizing my mother was drinking ALOT I mean cases a day.. beng drinking. I asked what was going on. She said its just beer no biggy. Soon she begun spirling out of control.. sleeping with all sorts of men acting and saying she had a demon in her that takes over and one night I woke up to her with a night up to my brothers throat.. and being 11 I knew I had to fight or he was going to die.. I faught her off grabbed my brother and ran as fast as we could.. I took him to a friends house the man who looked out for us due to the fact my brother might have possibly been his. So I left him there..I knew hed be safe and to keep my mom away I returned. She begged and said she was sorry.. I then stayed in hopes to get intouch with my father for help. Being 12 then and watching my mother start smoking weed..to then harder drugs I even watched her prostitute for money for drugs. It got so bad she wasnt feeding me and I was becoming weak.. it got so bad I walked in on her shooting up.. she was so high out her mind she was in functional I in resault I went and dug in a dumpster for food. Before to long I was rushed to the hospital with sever dehydration and malnutrition. … she lied and said I wouldnt eat.. I spent 2 weeks on I.v.s and my arms strapped down.. soon I was released and finally was able to contact my father… at 12 yrs old I went home only 92 lbs… I dont know how I made it..I prayed for her everyday since.. and I am so greatful we made it. In 2007 my brother passed away… it broke me..as I watched my sister call to tell my mom..I felt she had no right to know…the calls were felled..I was so releaved. But with noone seeing my mom the suspishion if she still lived grew and my sister searched.. and found her.. she again says shes clean but only has a few beers now just to keep her alive…. however.. to me I cant believe its safe bc a few beers is to many. I have a son now and will be damned if I let her get close knowing she still drinks..so pls id love to get her help bc I cant fight this battle of her back in our lives… I fear for my familys life..
How can I apply to set up an intervention for my daughter? I am so scared for her. I am an addict, in recovery, who gave her and her sister up to their dad when my addiction got in the way of caring for them. My recovery has taken years, and I will be the first to admit I will always have an addictive personality. My oldest daughter is doing great, and she continues to teach me every day about myself, and teaches me better ways to relate to her. I feel we have a good relationship now, considering all we have been through.
My youngest daughter is addicted to meth, and my oldest daughter has told me that my addicted daughter is also diagnosed bipolar. She recently lost custody of her children, ages 2 and twins that are just about 1 year old. My oldest daughter has custody of the 2 year old, and her dad and step mom have custody of the twins. My addicted daughter just had emergency surgery for abdominal abcesses inside. She even left the hospital AMA one night, to I’m sure go get high, and then came back the next morning. She tells me she is living without power, heat, food, or anything. I offered her to come stay with me, as I am in another state. I would getc her into treatment and away from what she knows. Now my oldest daughter is mad at me for this. She thinks her sister has had enough help, but I want to offer help until she gets it. This is my cry out to the universe to help my daughter not be like me.
Hi my name is kalee. My boyfriend is suffering with the addiction of heroin, suboxene, blues, and any other drugs he can get his hands on. We thought that he would change when he went to jail but that never happen. Nothing is working and we honestly don’t know what to do, he says he wants to be clean but I honestly don’t believe it. He says he is clean and then I look at his arms and he has multiple needle marks on his arms. I don’t know what to do anymore and nor does his mom. We have been together for a little more then 6 months and he is only 18 and is hard into drugs I’m scared that if he doesn’t get help now things will only get worse. Can someone please help and give me some advice.
Hi my name is Chelsea now im 20 years old and since age 12 I have been battling anorexia and bulimia, now im currently anorexic but no one seems to think its a problem since im not super emaciated looking or anything, but its a demon in me that i struggle with every single day on a daily basis and its ruined every single aspect of my life, I also have a severe dependance to marijuana since 15 I need it every day just to unwind and get away from the eating disorder voice and thoughts in my head that are taunting me, when i cant smoke all i seem to think about is when ill get my next high. Whats worse is that the past 2 years i have also been snorting coke on and off as well, going on these binges then trying to steer away from it cold turkey, and every time i get off it i always relapse, i have also experimented with other drugs like hash, crack, oxycodone, ecstacy and speed as well. My own bf isnt aware of what kind of drugs i actually tried in my life, neither do my friends or family.

Hello my name is Marie. My husband had 3 operations on his back in 2011and 2012. He was given pain killers and did really we’ll for over a year and a half with them. His Dr decided it was time to tell him to find a pain clinic. So he found one and was very happy with them, until he liked the high he was getting from Oxy’s. Then for another year, he was taking them too quickly and found that he would be in serious pain after and would start drinking hard alcohol. Now, he doesn’t have a pain clinic because he has been kicked off because of the drinking. So he has resorted to having either alcohol or rubbing alcohol and I have to keep our money on me instead of the bank. A couple of weeks ago he almost died cuz of drinking 2 bottles of rubbing alcohol and was in icu with a tube in his throat for 2 and a 1/2 days then he was transported to a psych ward. He is such a good convincing dinner and convinced the staff he was in severe pain and would never do it again. He was supposed to go to intensive outpatient therapy, alas he hasn’t done it. He swears he will do it but then yesterday he went and got another bottle of booze. He is such a rude mean person but only mentally abusive thank you God. Now this morning, he started again on the rubbing alcohol right in front of me. I freaked! So he knocked the bottle into the sink. He had it hidden cuz I went thru the house and made sure all the rubbing alcohol was gone. Guess he went and bought some more. My daughter [his daughter] is so traumatized and he won’t talk to her about his depression and alcohol abuse and pain pill addiction. He tested me yesterday saying he wants to die. I don’t know what to do no hospital will keep him longer than the insurance company will allow and he just reverts every time cuz of the pain he goes thru. I worry that one of these days I won’t cone home in time to call paramedics and I will have to tell our kids and grand kids that dad or grampa is dead and you won’t be able to see him ever again. WE NEED HELP CUZ THE INSURANCE COMPANY WONT AND HE IS ON SSD AND I am along with my daughter that brings in the money. WE DONT HAVE MUCH TIME I THINK AND ARE SEVERELY DESPERATE. HELP US PLEASE
I have been clean for two years and was on anything and everything (mostly pain meds) for eight years! It is hard to explain to a drug addict that they will find a way to be happy again…even more happy than they were before they did drugs! When you are an active addict it is so hard to believe it and have hope of such a thing but it is very possible! That is what I always thought “I will never be as happy as I feel when I am high” but it is not true! I have dealt with all of the things that have led me to drugs in the first place and I can appreciate everything so much more than I did before! I always say everything happens for a reason! I think the biggest misconception of addiction is that a drug addict can just stop overnight and that it is an easy thing and it is a choice! If it was that easy nobody would become an addict in the first place…nobody decides when they are a child that they want to be a drug addict when they get older! It saddens me that people do not understand it and critisize addicts instead of try to help! I wish everybody writing in here luck in the positive outcomes they are seeking!!!
I did not see the bottom half of your letter! I would definitely rat her out for the sake of that child! You would be saving her life! She has no choice but her mother does and do not think it will not happen to her because it is a big possibility!
I am concerned about my son. He started off smoking weed, then it was taking pills for a high and now he’s injecting heroin. I am at my wits end. He has all the signs of addiction, abuse and self-loathing. I do not want to lose my son to this epidemic that is getting worse every day. He has never stolen from me or family members but I have done a lot of research and know that this is possible. He was incarcerated for 6 days and I was actually able to get a good night’s rest, knowing he was safe. Sad to say but it’s true. Now that he has been home, every day is a constant battle for him. I’m trying to be supportive. I am definitely not an enabler but this is my son and I think he needs inpatient rehab. Not just speaking to counselors or a psychiatrist. He needs to learn to love himself again. I love him to the moon and back and I just can’t help him by myself.
My name is Erica, I’m worried about my dad and his drinking. I had just turned 15 on December 28th, My dad is a very bad alcoholic and it puts a lot of stress on mine and my moms plate. He will do anything to get alcohol, I used to drink with him and do drugs with my friends, but I got the help I needed. I need help because my dad is just getting worse and worse. He causes a lot of drama at home, he will put my mom and I down but when we say something back he gets all mad. I’m just afraid to wake up one morning and my daddy will be dead, I love my daddy to death but he isn’t the dad that I remember when I was younger. We aren’t suppose to have alcohol on the property because of my sobriety, but he hides it in his truck in the basement in his room, anywhere where he thinks I wont find it. Tonight I packed my bags I got everything I need for school, I have the clothes and stuff I need. . And he doesn’t care. He just want his alcohol and that’s it.. I cant deal living with my dad much longer, I need to stay sober for my family and not just my family but for me too. Can anyone help me?? Please?!?!

My email is sherry@autotransportconnections.com if you can help us.
Addiction’s described as a disease or dis-ease (meaning, not @ ease) & ONLY the addicted person can find recovery if he or she so desires. NO ONE can make someone stop nor control using, they can’t be forced nor convince (that’s what my Alanon/Naranon spiritual programs teach us) which’s contrary to these interventions. The illness’s mental, spiritual, & phys. It can be arrested, but NEVER cured.
hello all my name is Mark, I set here watching your show and I see all of me in them ! it makes me so SAD that no one has ever loved me enough to help !!! and I don’t even love myself. I have always put any problems I have in a pocket and have always self medicated because of it., at 53 my pockets are full and I’m now looking at my only options to end all is pain is death. I just feel so lost and confused about my life ! When does this all stop ? and will it ever end ????

Hello my name is Dee Dee and I need help with my 2 sons. One is 29 and the other one is 27.
My oldest one is hooked on Methadone and is currently enrolled in a clinical program and he is getting ready to have to stop going because he lost his job and cannot afford it any longer and I’m disabled and cannot afford it either.
My youngest son is using what ever he can get high on. He smokes it and also is shooting stuff in his veins and when I saw him yesterday he looked like a walking skeleton and he was doing good to even walk.
I’m so so worried about both of them and I have talked to both of them until I’m blue in the face but I cannot get through to them.
Neither one of them has any Insurance so finding help is virtually impossible.
I wish someone would just find it in their heart to please please help my sons before they die. Please contact me and let me know if there are any options.
My phone number is 772-617-2607 and my email is randdorla@aol.com
My name is Deborah & I have been in recovery since 1977. After watching the show I realized that my daughter is in need of intervention. I tried to stop her usage when she was young, but between her father & boyfriend, I was defeated. Her siblings (From me) are tried of endless efforts of helping her since their is a child (4 years old) involved now. I just had surgery on my back & moved her in & the baby in with me to be my caretaker. But mostly my recovery has been what GOD & I have done along with helping raise my granddaughter. Now there is a CPS case on her & the baby’s father of a sexual nature. I’m not sure if the accusations are true, but my daughter is not telling me the whole truth about things that is happening such as; why she lost her job, the fact that she sneak the baby’s dad in my house, that the case was close when it is still open, & the fact that he is not to have any contact with the child. At this point I don’t know what to do because I don’t want my granddaughter to suffer anymore, I love my daughter but I have given up because she is going to do what she wants to do. I need help to help her. Can you guys help me?

Hi. I have a brother who has been through a lot in his lifetime. He was kicked out at an early age and became homeless and is a convicted felon. These hardships made him turn to a very bad drug. Methamphetamine. The meth has caused him to become skitsofrenic. I told him how I felt about it, he got sober and moved In with my mom. He started getting a lot of sleep and ate the whole kitchen up and put on some weight. He has been struggling with his addiction for almost a year now. I miss the real him so much it hurts. He just recently relapsed the day before Easter and was up 2 nights and days straight and didn’t eat anything. He also smokes a lot of spice which is new.

My sister lives in Nebraska and we live in Ohio. Her husband has left with her two children to Ohio as well. She’s recently admitted to being on crack cocaine and c that she has struggled off and on with coke use. She’s in total denial. We’ve suspected drug use for years but just received confirmation. She also struggles with bipolar disorder as well as other mental health issues. We are terrified that she will not make it. My father is in his late 70’s and is a recovering heroine addict. Please help us intervene before she looses her children or worse. Her 9 month old child doesn’t even know who she is. How do we get assistance with helping my sister. She believes she can treat herself. She’s lost her job. Possibly her home. Please help.
My name is Fran Lyon, my son Shane Drumheller is 35 and is an alcoholic and drug user. He is more into pain pills and heroin now. He has been in state prison for the last 3 years and I’m getting so nervous and sick because he will be released in about 10 months to 1 year. I know he promises he won’t do heroin ever again, but I know he needs more treatment than prison can offer him. I need my son back, the son who was happy, loving, funny, and healthy. He has been in and out of jail since he was 18. He was in a military camp for 3 months when he was 15. He told me he started drinking when he was 14 and doing drugs when he was 15. He went thru rehab for 3 weeks and for 30 days but, it did not work. This has been affecting my health for years now and I’m so afraid if I die, Shane will kill himself with the insurance money that is left for him. He did go into cardiac arrest from alcohol poisoning when he was 26. The doctors said he was a complete merical because, he was dead, revived, in a coma for 3 weeks then woke up. They said he would not survive the night, he was put on a respirator. But, he pulled thru that and got out of the hospital and went home and opened the fridge and took out a beer and drank it. It made me sick. Now I don’t want him to come back to my home, I have my daughter and grand daughter living here with myself and my husband. I don’t want my grand daughter living with a heroin addict again. I love my son more than life itself, but I can’t do this anymore. I need help. I can’t do this alone. I will lose my mind. I hate living like this. I can’t ever be happy because I know my son is not happy. I won’t turn my back on my son, not ever. We need help. Please help my son. I’m begging you. Shane is intelligent and he can do so much in life if he can stay sober. Once again, Please help my son. We have been thru so much for so long, I don’t know what to do. I am out of prayers, I think maybe god stopped listening because I asked for to much for to long. He can’t help me because its for Shane more than me and Shane is to proud to ask for help from anyone. He lost his wife, and he feels alone and that no one cares about him. He is wrong. He is my life, the most important person in the world. I will give up everything in my life to get him the help he needs.
My ex of 9 years moved to Las Vegas for work right after I broke up with him. We have a son together and he said he thought the breakup was just a break and that we would eventually get back together. That was in 2013. Since then, he has not seen his son in over 2 years. His best friend moved out to Vegas with him but after months of lying and stealing his friends belongings and rent money for drugs, that friendship ended. My ex has abandoned his life; he doesn’t see or talk to any of his family members or his son. His mom e-mails him at least once a week hoping to hear from him, hoping he’ll still be alive. The only time we hear from him is when he is in jail. His main addiction is heroin but that is only one of many. He’s been in the ICU for sepsis, accesses and pneumonia from his addiction. Our son asks about him all the time cries because he misses his dad. He’s getting older and I’m nervous about having to tell him the truth about where his dad is.
I am not sure if this is how I go about getting on the show but my little sister is almost 22 and is already a severe alcoholic. She went to 2 pretty prestigious performing arts colleges which she dropped out of both because of her alcoholism. She attended New Mexico School of Art which is quickly becoming a well known highschool. It opened her 9th grade year. She started drinking and dabbling in drug use while in high School. Which in Santa Fe, NM, is very common. Herion is very much on the rise in our youth, which adds to my fear. When my sister drinks she completely changes and makes awful decisions, and she’s a liar. I don’t know what to believe with her anymore. I’m scared one of these times she’s wasted she will decide to try herion (if she hasn’t already). She’s been fired from 3 jobs in one year because of her alcoholism. She’s lost friends, she’s influenced younger people to drink with her. She wasn’t evicted from her house but she was asked to move, only because the landlord was a family friend. She’s living in my parents guest house and emotionally abusing them and taking advantage of their fear of losing her. She passes out to the point that she won’t wake up for hours even when my mom tries to wake her up. Her eyes are blank and distant. She doesnt look like herself anymore and it’s scary. What she’s doing is creating a rift in our family… My parents no longer get along. Which is very damaging because we run a family business which was flourishing but now it’s discouraging my parents, they are losing motivation… They’re only 56 and saying they’re old. My parents are still paying the colleges my sister left and now have her hospital bills on top of that, her actions have completely drained our family mentally, physically, and financially. We don’t have money to send her to a 90 day treatment let alone pay our own bills. I want to help support my parents and I will always love my sister but I’m getting emotionally tired and I know my parents are too. We need help, she needs help. We just want our family back.

My boyfriend is suffering from an addiction to heroin he is currently shooting it and has been for the last 8 months he has been on the methadone program for 3 years now and was double dosing his daily carry’s so that he could get high, once that stopped working that’s when he reached for heroin. This all started when he was prescribed perkiset from his doctor, he was taking them ended up getting addicted went to get help and was told by a doctor Methadone is his only hope. He should have never gone on Methadone in the first place that’s what caused this terrible life he’s living now. I have searched high and low for a treatment program for him but everything has crazy long wait lists, or cost so much money we would never be able to afford it. Please help my boyfriend before he ends up dying from an overdose! Please!!
I need help for my daughter she is addicted to heroin she lost custody of my grand kids , I am very scare my daughter overdose please help me
My brother has lost everything to his addiction to alcohol, including his 10 year old son. My brother has been in and out of the hospital three times in the past two weeks. The doctors just diagnosed him with having cirrhosis, but upon release from the hospital every time, has continued to drink to a state of complete incomprehension. He has threatened suicide. When he went to the hostpital the last time, I visited him to let him know I love him, but if he continues drinking, I will not be a part of his life. I am a recovering alcoholic with nearly 11 months of sobriety behind me. I want him to know how much better life can be when you no longer allow the addiction to control you. Recently my father has told us to start preparing for his death, because it is just around the corner. I want him to receive help so we don’t lose him in such a final way.
I would give anything to have my daughter back. 10 years of heroin and meth, two children she can have no contact with. Two little girls desperately need their mom and the addiction wins. I beg, plead, threaten, cry, scream….then gave up. This disease is horrible and I cannot protect my baby girl. To have a 23 year old daughter that you mentally prepare for her death is the most hopeless feeling ever.
My daughter has a mental illness bright on by a time when she was rapped. She has struggled with that for the past 9 years, in the ladt 3 years she started trying street drugs. Since then, she has not been able to work or go to school, and it’s hard for her to talk about ANYTHING. About a year ago she met a young man who was able to get her off the drugs and I ginaaly felt I had my daughter back. She started working again and could laugh, and lived her family and friends. After they broke up, she went back to drugs. Now with the underlining mental health issues, and the drugs, she has become a street person, going from one drug house to another, stealing from anyone, but not because she sells it, she doesnt have enough comment sense to do that, she Hoards it, then takes it from house to house and it either gets stolen from her or lost. Is there a place she could go that would help her with the mental issues and the drug addiction? she went to a rehab, twice, but it didn’t work out, according to the rehab, “They didn’t have the means to care for her mental disorder”.
My cousin Ashley is an addict. She’s to the point where she doesn’t recognize who people are anymore. She lost custody of her two daughters and doesn’t even attempt to get them back. She followed the same path as her mother and was raised by our grandparents whom always provide and it supports her habit unintentionally. Also, the town we grew up in doesn’t help matters.
I have a 25 year old daughter that I have completely and totally lost to heroin and crack cocaine. She used to be a loving and compassionate girl, she is now gone and this monster has taken over her body and brain. The drugs have changed her to where the family no longer wants to be around her at all. We have been lied to stolen from to the poin where not one of us trusts her anymore. The thing that kills me the most is she has two adorable children a 9 yr old and a 2 yr old who love her unconditionally. My grandkids have both seen things that no little one should see. The children were taken away from her, the kids were her everything. My sister (her aunt) just passed away of an overdose in Feb of this year while she was using heroine. I am terrified every time the phone rings someone is calling to tell me my baby girl is gone. When I think I can cry no more the tears will just flow. I am loosing the battle against the drugs my daughter is addicted to! I would trade places with her in an instant and fight the fight for her to take away all her pain and suffering.
Signed,
a mother in agony

I need help finding a way to help her before we loose her.

my 19 year old cousin kaylee has been addicted to heroin for years, she even got pregnant with her dealers baby and she was using throughout her entire pregnancy, the baby was born 3 months early at 2 pounds was life flighted to a better hospital, where he stayed for about 5 months and now will have to use a tube to help him breath his whole life, he was adopted into very good family thank god. We all thought maybe that would make her feel something and wanna get better. It didn’t all she said was oh well she’ll just have another one.. Its sickening she deals herself, steals from our family anything just to get her next fix, she’s killing her self and no one will say anything to her because her mom is so embarrassed she wants to pretend its not happening, she used to be a loving sweet smart girl and now its just like being around a zombie she doesn’t have any personality anymore!
My mother has been an addict for as long as I can remember. Her addiction has left me and my sisters with no mother figure for our entire lives. My father raised me, my youngest sisters father raised her, and the middle sister was raised by my aunt who also deals with addiction to pills. Me being the eldest has watched my mother completely tare apart the lives of those who care for her wellbeing…..this has not only caused myself mental problems ( chronic depression and bpd) but has also affected my sisters as well. We want help for her. I want my mother back…
I’ve been watching intervention for a really long time & I really love the show but I’m watching today it is June 19, 2018 & every time someone on the show said God or Jesus they bleeped it out I’d really like to know why the name of God or Jesus is an offensive word cause I am very offended by the fact that it is being bleeped out !! and will not watch intervention anymore if that is the case!.. I would appreciate an answer!

She’s been in and out Methadone programs and has been living in the streets for some time now. I really need assistance trying to get through tk her once again.

My daughter has been addicted to heroin and for some time now it’s been meth. She is 25, has 2 beautiful babies who live with her full time and it scares me. She was suppose to get help so I moved from another state to take care of her kids then she refused to go. I was there a month and it was the scariest situation I have ever been in. It was way worse for her children. Her boyfriend and her did meth everyday and I spent my time protecting her and her children from her boyfriend. She now after 2 months is so bad her body is rotting inside and out. She has no veins left and goes into psychosis. Im so scared. She really will not be living much longer. I don’t know how to help her anymore and those babies will grow up without a mom who loved them but just couldn’t show it.
My son has had an addiction issue since he was a teen, hes now 38. He also has had three major back surgeries due to degenorative disk desease. This started the perscription use and abuse. In 2011 his wife left him having affairs with numurous men. After the divorce he got on meth and other drugs. I feel he has perminately dammaged his brain as he has been assessed with skitzofrenia, mania, adhd, bi-polar etc.
Due to his back surgery he has been able to get government assistant but within a week or so hes out of money. Hes homeless unless my wife brings him to our home. He has physically attacked me numirous times and verbally attacks us both. Im 60 years old and have the ability to say no but his mother cannot. He has all but divorced us due to having be made to deal with his lifestyle. The last time he attacked me was when again he was out of hand. It was obvious he was ready to hit someone. His mother had rented him a house and was going to take him there due to his anger, but it was not safe for her so i stepped in to do it so he would not hit her. Before i got out of the driveway he ask me if i was afraid of him. I told him no. About 1 mile down the road and started hitting and busting the front windshield with his fist. He then started hitting me while i was driving. Im a farmer and not weak so i knocked him out with one hit. I was hoping he would stay knocked out until i got him home but he didnt. When he woke up he had hit me again before i knew it. I started swirving to stop his blows until i could get stopped. Although im not weak in muscle i am weak in stamina due to having at that time only 10% heart function. I found myself in a full out brawl. I was out of breath and was at the back of the car looking for something to battle with. A long story short, he was arrested. We made him leave the house but only a few days later. My wife just cant get away and im usually blamed by all as the problem as i refuse to support him. My wife sneaks him things because he plays on her motherly love.
I dont know how to stop this viscous cucle and have another son that refuses to allow his children around him. I wait for a call that hes dead any day.
I would like to join conversation

What does it mean when you’re comments are approved
my son is addicted to meth now for the past 3 years. he is currently sitting in jail and needs help to get off the drug, he has recently starting shooting up the drug. im afraid he is moving on to heroin. i have no clue in how to help him
My baby brother is a addict. We grow up in North Palm Beach. Watched our father deal with his addiction of alcohol til I was 6 and he was 4. My mom worked alot and she met a guy who she thought was amazing. He beat my brother and did other things to me. I’ve dealt with everything my brother has not. At first his addiction was blues now he’s doing crack. I believe he does anything for these drugs. It’s not only him in the picture either. His fiance and him are both addicts and she uses their children against him. My brother looks like dealth. My nephews are both such amazing little guys and it kills me to know they have these people as their parents. My parents have tried everything to help and it’s never enough. He’s lost and she’s lost. Now the babies are gonna be lost
My best friend is additives to meth. I’ve tried and tried to help him. Even took him in for him to rob me. He once was the love of my life but he robbed me blind a week ago and I’ve had to press grand larceny charges. I’ve never called the law on anyone in my life and it’s killing me. But maybe him being locked up again will get him clean of this demon? He was such a beautiful guy before he meet meth a year ago. Now he may weight 130lbs. He’s pitfall looking. His body can’t go another year of this. He’s gonna die. I’ve never seen someone go down hill in a year like he has. He also just had a baby so now that baby is in this mess. I worry myself sick over this situation. His whole family has givin up on him. And now with these charges idk what else to do?
My best friend witnessed her husband of 8 years shoot himself in the head. She held him while he gasped for air until the paramedics arrived. He did not make it. She only had 4 weeks of school left to finish her nursing degree. About 6 months after he passed she began to use heroin. She has lost everything. She has been living on the streets and with random people. We recently just found out she is 7 months pregnant and still using. She needs an intervention. I don’t even know where to start. Any information would greatly help.
My only birthed son is 44 now. I contacted your organization years ago about his addiction. He refused help and now he is worse than ever. I am afraid someone will find him, in his secluded tent, living in the woods. He functioned at jobs, since then, just barely holding jobs. 6 weeks ago, wrecked his car, company vehicle, lost his job, his room he was renting, and now is living in a tent in the rural area, around or near me. His mental state is not good, his physical self is detoriating. Since my previous communication, discovered he has hep c, untreated. No insurance. I felt this was the bottom of bottom. I am asking for help. Please let me know if there is anything you can to help me get him into a program. I feel he has jumped so far down the “rabbit hole”, he thinks there is no help. We have contacted all the State agencies and find little or nothing. The numbers we are given doesn’t have the funding or have been disconnected. We lost my oldest stepson July 2017 due to addiction. He committed suicide. I don’t feel I could live through another.i took him to local agencies, and got the same results.My son has no insurance. We live paycheck to paycheck and pray the LORD hears our prayers. I can’t sit by and do nothing. I would greatly welcome any assistance you may be able to provide. My family is open to an intervention. Thank you for being here. I do look forward to hearing from someone. Thank you, Rebecca kester
How much is it for a intervention m?
Is anybody on.now,I would
Like my own treatment ,I could get help. and get away from my wife
No matter what you can do it! Stay strong.
My mom is a beautiful amazing kind giving person when she’s sober. When’s she’s drunk it’s a whole other story. She has struggled with alcoholism since I can remember I’m 19 years old I have 3 sisters and we all worry and are scared for her life. My younger sisters father beat my mom and after 7 years she left him. She met this amazing man that she married and he took care of us girls like we were his own he moved us to Hawaii and we loved our life. over time my mom drank more and more and would cause fights sometimes I would have to break it up and many times when I was in middle school I would have to drive her car to pick her up because she was wasted and couldn’t walk or drive. My step father passed away from a heart attack in 2013. My mother wanted to move back to Arizona but my older sister stayed in Hawaii with her boyfriend and my little sister went to her dads I stayed with my mom for a few months until I couldn’t handle it anymore. I moved back to Hawaii by myself and got a job. She would go missing for days weeks months and it was hard to handle it all by myself so I left her I feel horrible I left her.. she later then found another man and was doing great got into the gym didn’t drink as much and decided to have another baby girl. Later she found out he was a conartist and she left him and now she’s back drinking like crazy and it kills me to see another one of my little sisters having to go through the same life me and my other sisters had to go through. Sometimes she gets so wasted she pees her pants and try’s to fight people, she also gives away her money like it’s water always offering to buy people stuff, she really knows how to put on an act like her life is perfect and she doesn’t have a problem Everyone tells us to give up on her but I just can’t shes the greatest mom when she’s sober but when she’s drunk she’s very emotionally abusive and it worries me she will damage my little sisters making them later in life have problems or addictions I’m scared and this is my last resort I hope you guys can help.
My entire family is suffering from addiction. I have two brothers, one is addicted to prescription pain meds and possibly Herron. The second is a heroine addict as well. My sister is an alcoholic. Both brothers live with my mother (86) she drinks to much to deal with her co dependence. I have a half brother that lives with my father that is an alcoholic that can no longer drink because of illness. My father is a codependent to my half brother that is addicted to alcohol and opioids. I have been involved in recovery since 1989 and presently have 11 years sober, although I have been having problems with depression and hopeless feeling do to struggling with how to cop with my family situation. Is there any special help out there for dealing with my situation? I don’t know how to do an intervention on a whole family, when I feel I’m all by myself.
My name is Eddie and I’m a 50 year old herion addict. All these addicts on the InterventionTV show get offered awesome detox and treatment. I have no family to go to for help. I have no one to do an intervention nor help me. My wife died at 44 years old from brain cancer in 2015, my mom passed from renal failure in 2016 and I was robbed and shot in 2017. I was addicted to opiates way before all the tragedy in my life, but all the trauma didn’t help my addiction. If anything, it made it worse. I’ve tried several times to get help for myself, but never was able to get help. As I stated, I have no family nor any friends. I want and need help. Can somebody help me please? You can contact me at eldie3d at gmail dot com. I need an angel to help save my life!!!
Hey Eddie I’m not a doctor or even a specialist.. Im a regular drug user myself and I looked at this site for my mom who is addictied to meth and alcohol. I red this and honestly it makes me cry to know how bad someone wants the help but has nobody to help and here I have a full family who I’m scared to even ask to do an intervention with… You’re not alone and I think having a family support just makes the addict aware that there could be a lot to loose.. but what could someone like you loose? I want to die everyday over my mistakes but then I feel selfish when someone like you has the want to live even if it’s through a needle .. you want help. You want to live and I’m selfish for wanting to die with everything in my hands and family who loves me.. I love you and you’re not alone addiction is nasty and scary, we run from what haunts us most.. the world needs more love and needs to be more aware of drug use and not just a ssad story.. we are more than story tellers we are real life fairytale deamons. Who honestly just want to be told that everything will be ok and we can do this… Well you can and everything will be ok.. I belss you and I’m not even holy but I want someone anyone to know I love them.
Please contact me at alleyfuentes@yahoo.com
My email is daddysgin@gmail.com. i don’t know how much I can help. But I’ll listen. Idk if intervention has contacted you but hopefully they have. Everyone deserves access to sobriety.

Hello there,
Wow, I never thought I would be here seeking and pleading for help for my family. Drug abuse runs deep in my family tree. I am desperately trying to find someone to help my whole family, but mostly my sister before it is to late.
She is a 31 year old single mom with three small children all of whom have different fathers. She abuses her own prescription drugs, along with purchasing extra prescription drugs and alcohol abuse possibly more things I am unaware of. She has NEVER had a job. She collects a monthly social security check and child support for two of the three children in order to support her children, my disabled mother and her habits.
That is another thing. My mom lives with her as well. They have always been inseparable, but they are bad for each other. They are constantly borrowing each other and other family members prescriptions. My mother is now in the last stages of COPD and is currently receiving hospice care in their home.
My mother used to be addicted to speed/ crack/ cocaine and opiates when I was younger and went to at least 8 different rehabs without success. My sister and I were actually given up to a family friend at a young age so my mother could receive treatment. My mother has been on suboxone for the last 13 yrs and recently signed herself into hospice because she is unable to make it out of the house to travel for her medications. I desperately want to save my younger sisters life before the cycle starts all over again.
We are from a small town in Ohio. I chose to move away to better myself when I was 18 and watched the last 14 years in horror at my family diminish into poverty without having a way out unless they are to die or to get clean . My family does not have love for one another or each others best interest. I have already lost one aunt, two uncles, and a cousin to addiction.
PLEASE HELP.

I need an intervention for my child’s father. He has been an over drug user for over a decade and his life is out of control. He barely sees his son and is currently homeless. He is still operating under the premise he can simply stop which I don’t see as possible. I just want him to watch his son grow up and be a good dad
Hello I am reaching out for some help. My husband of 17 years is a massive alcoholic. He has thrown his whole life away to drink all day, every day. His 4 children have no idea what a sober dad is like. My husband comes from a line of alcoholics. His brother is also in need of some help. I worry constantly that soon my children will not have a father. He refuses to get help and always says he will do it on his own. This man needs professional guidance to stop.
Please help my little family!
My cousin Samantha is a 30 year old mother – we live in Idaho. She moved to Idaho from Arizona about 2 years ago and within days she was using meth, pills, coke, benzos, and drinking excessively. Within months she gave up her 9 year old daughter to my other cousin and is now raising her. When she got her daughter, she was underfed, sickly, and not going to school. She is doing better now, however, Samantha is not, and hasn’t been. Samantha, within 2 years, has been in and out of jail countless time, and even did a 9 month runner in prison. She within the last year and a half has been shooting up meth and heroin. I am also a recovered drug addict, and I have seen her destroy her life within no time. Our relationship has become so toxic that I haven’t spoken to her or seen her in almost 2 years. PLEASE I NEED YOUR HELP SHE IS GOING TO DIE. Samantha also has heart problems and MRSA and mental health issues. She is well aware of her medical problems but continues to use. She has Wolfe-Parkinson White, which is a heart defect and causes cardiac issues. If she continues to use, she will die. Most of my family have cut off contact with her, but her mother and my grandmother still keep in contact with her and her other grandparents as well. She doesn’t care about what she is doing, or how she is affecting the family. She needs an intervention, and help. PLEASE HELP US!
I would like to help my kids dad who is struggling from alcohol and drug addiction. We’re currently separated due to his illness. He has bipolar and been diagnosed with mental illness. He is a Veteran who is waiting to get help, still waiting to get in to the VA program. He is currently living in the Transitional Housing.
Now that he is willing to get help, I need someone to help him right away. You know how military works, you have to wait and wait and wait.
How can we help this man who is willing to step into a program?
Please help!
My Dad needs a intervention. He has been addicted to alcohol, cocaine, and prescription medication for over 25 years. He physically and verbally abuses everyone he loves. He steals from my great grandma or anyone else he can including myself. He has caused us all so much emotional and physical pain over there years that I have detached him from my life. I’ve never had a father. I know it’s only a matter of time before the alcohol destroys what’s left of him, and I’ll never have a chance to have a Dad. Please help my family.
I’m 19 I’m an addict in recovery I was addicted to DXM and morphine but I’ve been sober since 2/19/16 so 3 years havent touched it since, but I still use other substances and go on week long binges every once in awhile maybe every 6 months such as bath salts, duster, meth, cocaine, crack, oxys, acid, anything I can get my hands on really, and I feel like it’s gonna be a problem like I’m falling in love with crack and bathsalts, but I’m not seeking help for me I’m seeking it for my family, my grandpa has alcoholic fatty liver disease and other issues such as a hurinia he’s had for years and he refuses to get help he don’t trust doctors or believe in medicine or the new medical technology and there’s no way to talk to him and try to explain stuff to him he’s tried to quit a few times on his own but it only lasted a week and it’s dangerous to quit drinking all of sudden especially when they’ve been drinking 30+ years and my whole family needs help to make this work and my moms always been straight edge but I feel like she’s developing an addiction to alcohol, a lot of my family are alcoholics and a few are addicted to meth and heroin as the drug of choice, and my grandpa has his own business that is being ruined by his drinking, and he has so much potential, my family is falling apart, and it’s making it harder for me to stay sober and i want to feel and get better and I want my family to as well and I want better in life for myself and everyone, I need help and so does my family, I’m doing all I can but my childhood was fucked up and I have no social skills or any idea of how to do the whole life thing, but I do have dreams and goals I want to accomplish and I know I can I just don’t have resources or anyone to help teach me how to do anything that adults have to do and I’ve been on and off homeless since 16 I’ve seen the highest highs and lowest lows of life and I have a broad perspective and an open mind because of it and I know there’s hope, but all my close family is dieing of addiction and I couldn’t handle losing any one of them or especially multiple around the same time I’d relapse for sure and not be able to bounce back and honestly I’d probably end up killing myself, the only reason I keep pushing forward is so I can get my shit together to help them but idk how I’d ever be able to afford to help everyone, I feel like I and we are lost cause and I’m the oldest grandchild and of 8 now 5 siblings and the second oldest that is alive is 13 and the youngest is 6 and I want to end the cycle and protect them I need help, my family needs help, and you guys are my last resort. I don’t know what else to do and I’m trying my best but I keep giving up and throwing away all the progress I made and starting over and it’s getting to be to much and I’m over it and I’m hurt and lost and I could go on forever, please I’m literally begging you guys for help, I would appreciate it so much it would mean the world and more to me. I don’t know what else to do or where else to turn, I’ve been doing research and trying to find local resources which they’re aren’t many and trying to come up with a plan but idk how me just 1 person is gonna be able to convince everyone to get help on my own. I’m doing everything I can that I know of and it seems like it’s going no where.

I have tried to reach out to help him with very little success. My family has never dealt with this before and I am scared that we will lose him if he doesn’t get the help he needs. As I am sitting here I am holding back tears of fear and gutt wrenching pain of the thought of losing him. Please Help Us Please this is our last hope under God
My sister is on the road to her own death by alcohol. I don’t know how to help her anymore. I’ve done everything from tough love to driving her daily to treatment. God help us all
Hi I’m looking for an intervention for my husband who’s an alcoholic and his brother who is a meth addict and alcoholic.
Hello,
My family needs help for my nephew. He is 26 years old and has been homeless off & on since the age of 18. He has recently been homeless since I had to ask him to leave my home due to his drinking and drug use. Alex is homeless, lives in his car that does not run. We live in NH where it can get below zero in the winter. He does not care. He doesn’t shower or take care of himself. He now doesn’t have a phone and has no contact with his family. He is very angry. I think he needs apologies from his parents for not being there for him. He needs to heal. I’m afraid he will end up in jail or dead if he doesn’t get help. No one in the family can let him live with them. He doesn’t go by any home rules and drinks & does drugs no matter what. He will keep pushing and breaking rules until he is kicked out. I could go on and on. I would really like the opportunity to get an intervention with him to possibly save his life. His family needs to own some responsibility for not realizing he needed help when he did. He was lost as a teenager. Please please help us help him.
My Dad is addicted to Dope he use to be my bestfriend but, he’s been using drug’s since before I was born and I’m 27 years old old now. He’s going on 52 years old this year and his addiction and behavior has gotten so much worse he had a picline in his back when I waa 16 because of bacteria build up at the end of his spine and almost died I really don’t believe he will cooperate willingly especially being on an intervention show he has too much pride to get help publicly!!!
My brother is 24 years old. He is homeless and addicted to both crystal meth and “spice”. My brother has emotionally and physically drain my family. He believes no ones tried to help him. He thinks the world is against him and no one cares. I’ve signed him up more than once for different rehabs around our area and he promises to go until it’s time to go. I’ve housed him, and him claim it wasn’t good enough. I’ve gotten him a job to try to help him get off the streets. I’ve tried everything I can from emotionally breaking down to fighting with him physically. He refuses to believe the drugs have put him here and says that everyone’s pushed him away. He doesn’t try to help himself and has even left ugly voicemails to our grandmother because she refuses to answer anymore of his phone calls. He has broken her heart and she doesn’t know how to handle it. He’s angry and feels alone but nothing I do is enough. He promises he’s not using but I see it in his face. I haven’t spoken to him in months. He recently made the news for being part of the homeless group under the bridge. They took his dog and he went hay wire. He used to be so smart and athletic. My heart hurts just having to reach out to this, I have no other options left. My family has given up and I barley sleep some nights thinking about him sleeping outside. He has mental health issues as far back as when we were kids, of course we didn’t live a love of luxury and bad things happened, I’ve cope in my own ways and have used before but I’m clean and working and doing the best I can to stay out of that life style. My brother sees as if I’ve got everything in the world but I truly don’t, I work so hard for little to nothing and I give give give and I’ve had to stop. Now I’m part of the “no one cares about me” thoughts in his head. I just have no other option, I have no way of saving him I’m lost and scared for his life. I don’t want to bury my big brother. I want to grow with him and have families to get together one day. I can’t lose him, he’s the only reason I made it out in the first place. It hurts I can’t do the same for him, it’s just not enough.
It took me a really long time to finally want to do this, but its so hard everyday to watch my father nod out always getting up to put his ciggerettes out so he wont burn his boat down or himself, and I say boat because when my mother passed away from cancer in 2009 hes just gone down hill, I feel hes given up and is ready to be with her. His addiction has been my ehole life me and my 2 brothers, my older brother and I both have kids, his grandkids and my brother will not let him see the kids, he doesn’t call him check on him nothing and it kills my father but deep down my dad knows why and yet does nothing. He has had this addiction for over 27years he spend atleast 2500 a week maybe more. I think the worst thing I go thru is when he starts to nod is me constantly check g to make sure hes alive. And im so sick of crying everyday and hurting and the worst part is because of him and his use I got curious and i started to use ive been clean for over 5 months and will never go back to it. And I just want my family back. I’m sad to hear him talk about how he doesn’t even know his grand kids. Now hes got health problems going on and wont do anything about them because hes scared of being in the hospital and wont be able to use. I think the best thing for him is an intervention so he can hear my family tell him our pain. My grandmother his mom his brother and sisters my brothers we all are hurting and we just want our father back. All he does all day is get high and lay on the couch and rots away and burns himself and everything around him. I have my own family and my own life and im worried when hes alone if hes alive or if hes gunna set fire to everything. Please help me and my family get my dad help. 27 years on heroin is to long hes going to die and I think he will get help if he hears how much pain hes causing our family.
Thank you

Hi my name is Jamie. I live in nyc and I’m am the twin of a beautiful smart well educated, sick, drug addicted, co dependent, sister. Me and my two sisters were raised by my mother who did a wonderful job putting all three us of through college. I a speech pathologist, Lisa a nurse and my twin Allison who WAS a NYC public school teacher. My biological father fell off a drainpipe to his death due to his own heroin addiction. Allison is addicted to heroin. She has literally been on the streets of New York City for over three years. She lost it all….including her three beautiful children who just want there mommy. She has been absent out of there lives basically for over five years. Up until recently we have not had one single phone call text or any other form of communication in over one and a half years. She recently contacted mom to let us know where she was and that she was alive. We love her. She is in a co dependent drug filled dependent relationship with another addict. Who by the way is always extremely smart. Anyhow please help me help my twin. Y mother has gone as far as calling police stations…hospitals, and even morge to find my sister. Now that we know her where abouts we are even in more shock to see her living conditions on the streets of NYC. Please help. Thank you in advance. The Steakin family.
I’m seeking help for my 37 year old son. He has relapsed again and is spiraling out of control. He has been in two rehabs but only completed one and when he came out of the last one where they had done brain remapping he was good. Then a woman that he is obsessed with left him because of his abuse he spiraled out of control. He has been given so many chances after he got out of prison but can’t not get the help he really needs mentally and with his substance abuse. This request for help might quit honestly might be too late. He is either going to overdose or commit suicide by cop either way I’m going to loose him. He has pulled away from his family I guess in an attempt to keep us from seeing him but we know. I see Facebook posts that are I believe an attempt to reach out even without him knowing what he is doing. Please help I don’t want to loose my son.
My brother is in dire need of intervention. He has been on drugs for approximately 30 years. He started out with marijuana and moved onto opioids and I believe he is currently on heroine. He tried treatment and was on Suboxin (I don’t know how to spell it), but he started selling that for the stronger drugs.
My parents enabled him for the majority of the time. I’ve tried to open their eyes for this disease and tried to get them to seek help for my brother. There are just no resources or insurance.
Can you please help me help my brother? He is going to kill himself if someone doesn’t step in.
Hi my wife and I made the hugest mistake of our lives in June 2017. Well I did. By bringing meth into our home…. We did it for a year and it totally changed us. It split us up June 2018. I’ve slipped twice in 10 months now. I have been living in my van. She has continuously slipped over and over now. She has been on it and maybe heroin because of the people she is around. Using her. Her name is Christy and she is the love of my life. We dated at 14. Split up then 20 years later reunited. Poetry and opening doors and laughter and love for 3.5 years. Then meth. Please help. I don’t want to let her go April 4th she was saying how much she loved and missed me and how much she needs help. Two days later I run to her mailbox in my Camaro to drop and bracelet off and my car catches fire and burns to the ground. She drives by w a guy driving our other car. This person is not her. I love you Christy.
My Mother’s name is Mary, and she is an alcoholic.
She calls is a “bad habit.”
She is 56 years old, and has been an alcoholic for roughly 30 years.
I am her daughter, Grace (23) and she has been drunk, basically my entire life.
She has one other daughter, Jessica (27) and they have not spoken in 6 years as a result of the alcoholism.
She too, lives in Nashville and fears for our Mother discovering her place of residence/employment as a result of a lifetime of verbal, physical and physiological abuse.
Her immediate family no longer speaks to her at all, I am the only one left.
Mary has undergone several treatment attempts, all have failed.
When under the influence, she makes phone calls verbally abusing family, friends, employers, etc.
She drinks to the point of getting sick and passing out. Every time.
She hides bottles all over the house, as well as secret stashes of money to buy more alcohol when she runs low.
She has served 30 days (maybe more) in jail for her 4 DUI’s (one including a head on collision with a mother and her 3 small children).
She has been arrested on multiple occasions for public intoxication.
She currently lives in Nashville, TN with her boyfriend Jim who is actively doing everything he can to provide her with food, clothing and shelter.
They have been together for 2 years, and she has progressively gotten worse over this time.
She has, to date, trashed his apartment, verbally abused him, attempted physical abuse, pawned things in order to obtain money for alcohol, thrown all the perishable goods on the kitchen floor (upwards of $100 worth), almost caused him the loss of his jobs, and filed false police reports while under the influence.
For the last two months, he has been forced to sneak in and out of his own apartment for fear of his well-being, disposing of empty/half full/full bottles all along the way.
He is STILL willing to provide her with the best treatment available, and we have been communicating all the while.
My Mother has been this way for as long as I can remember.
She goes from person to person, feeding off them, depleting their resources and undergoing binges of up to 2 weeks in length, and the breaks in between are not long.
During these breaks there is no admission of guilt, no plan to change, and complete denial of any wrong doing.
The cycle is damning and the effects it’s had, and continues to have, are life long for everyone involved.
Sober, she is an amazing, nurturing, kind, smart and hard-working individual.
She deserves better than this, and I would do anything to see her get better.
I feel as though I have done everything I can do to save her from herself, and I just want my Mother back.
Please help.
– Happy Mother’s Day
Desperately seeking help for my 27 year old son Stephen who is addicted to fentinyl now 1 1/2 years, before that he said he did heroin, coke, opioid pills. We’ve tried rehabs, methadone clinics, he’s getting supposedly suboxone off street, he’s stolen so much from family( drained me , my husband , my dad, and our cousin that lives with us), stolen from our neighbors, has done couple says in jail for stealing from us, now has court fines, & I help him wen I can so they dont arrest him, I feel if he goes to prison that will not help him . He cuts hair to support his addiction, walks and rides bike all over town to go get his drugs , has stayed out homeless off and on. Mentally &
Physically draining the family & he is getting worse and worse, skinny, doesn’t eat like he used to cause he says when he’s hurting he can’t eat, he doesn’t have the relationship with his 8 year old daughter like he used to, i pray everyday for help, I look in internet for help, I drive around looking & he won’t follow through or centers have no room . Please I beg help us , I dont want to loose my son, jail I feel would help cause he wont be in the street, but he desperately needs help for drug abuse so he can straighten up & get his life back, he’s constantly saying he’d rather die, we’d be better off him dead, he’s gotten sick with a cough and won’t seek help because he wants his drugs , I feel he just wants to give up
A lot of the times , then he cries that he wants to get well, he’s tired of this life of his.
I Don’t know how else to get my mother help. She is living with my boyfriend and myself and our two kids and drinks everyday. She has been drinking non stop for a year and is always trying to fight me. She will fight anyone for no reason and all she looks forward to is drinking. She has went to work drunk multiple times and has came home from drunk multiple times. I don’t know what to do. Please help.
I have been binge-watching “Intervention” and the stories have really moved me. Seeing the love from the families toward the addicts and alcoholics amazed me. They went through so much and yet still loved their addicted family member.
I can’t help but think of how differently my life could have turned out had I had a family like that. People who saw the pain and the disease and still showed compassion and love to them. If you are an addict and have family members who love you and are trying to reach you, for the love of all that is holy, embrace the help you are given.
So many of us who have been unloved and rejected would do anything to be in your shoes. It’s way too late for me but save yourselves.
I am looking for an intervention for the love of my life(fiance) she’s been sober for 7yrs…and relapsed on heroin once again..I need some assistance so does she..PLEASE help us?

My name is Bailey. The addict in need of help is my mother. She has been addicted to Methamphetamine for well over 10 years. She has hidden the fact that she is a user up until a few years back when my brother found a bag inside her car. Since then our lives have been turned upside down and into chaos. She uses as much as possible and her boyfriend is of no help either. They both use and sell drugs to support their habit. Me and my family have been blamed for her addiction (she needed to use when my brother had an asthma attack and almost died and when I had an auto-accident that almost killed me.) Addiction runs in my family and I need it to end today. She is the last person in my family to be using. I need my mother back. She is being charged with a felony as well as misdemeanors for drug paraphanelia and is only getting a slap on the wrist (supervised probation.) I feel if we don’t get her help she get sober. She’s already in her 40’s and I’m terrified I’m going to lose her all together.

Hi Intervention,
My name is Toni Rodriguez and I’m contacting you regarding my 22 yr old son who is on heroin. He tells his dad, myself, himself, and everyone else who loves him very much that he isn’t doing anything. He’s gone to rehab here in Wisconsin a half a dozen times, and came out doing the same thing. He has been incarcerated for almost a year, came out doing the same thing. Lately he’s been calling me asking for money and i give it to him because he tells me he hasn’t eaten or needs gas for a friends car, and promises he’s not doing anything wrong so I have given into him. Now he calls and comes to my work to demand he needs money because he’s stranded so i have given it to him because im very busy at work and need to get back to work. He goes by his dads place and asks to shower and asks to put gas in his friends car and ask for a pair of shoes to wear and his dad gives into him too. Now he sleeps in his friends car because we can no longer enable his behavior. We feel very heart broken and sad that he hasn’t at least tried to go back to rehab..he tells his dad he’s afraid of the detox effects and that he doesn’t have a problem..when we see that he clearly does. He’s lost weight he eats very little and lost all color and life from his face. He has a 4 year old daughter that needs her daddy and needs him alive. We don’t want to loose him, we don’t want to bury our son. Please Please help me and our family get back our happyfamily. He isn’t the same anymore, he doesn’t make me laugh anymore the way he used to. He seems to be a stranger to us because we don’t know who he is anymore. His dad told me he had a blackeye that was seeming to get better because it was turning green already, so i don’t know why he’s getting into fights or what’s going on. Please help me. Please.
Please help I have a niece that was clean from meth for almost 3 years. She got around the wrong people and now she is worse than what she was. She had 2 children and is wasting away on meth she shots it. We tried to put her in drug hab but they won’t do much money or family doesn’t have. It’s very sad watching her go down this path. She just recently got arrested for sales of meth and might be servicing a year or so. Please help us help her. Thank you
WE DESPERATELY NEED HELP!!! Hello! I want to say first of all that the work that you do is amazing and is helping so many people to be in recovery. I just graduated with a Bachelors in Psychology and a minor in substance abuse education, so I hope to one day be like you guys. My nephew’s mother is on meth and has been for quite a while now. She is slowly killing herself and she is not doing anything to see her most precious son. He was born addicted to drugs because she was taking drugs that weren’t prescribed to her. She was a good mother at first, and then just started to do meth. She has been in and out of jail and even one time, took the baby for days and we had no idea where she was. She had stolen from her best friend. She has stolen from every person you can think on. Her parents are not there for her. Her Dad helps a little bit, but as of right now, my brother and Dawson (my nephew) are living in the the house with my parents. I, myself am also a recovering addict, so it’s like my parents are going through everything again, except that DHR is involved this time. My parents used to be so happy and they do not deserve to have to raise a baby when they should be living their lives. My brother’s child’s mother needs help and she needs it fast. Her son needs her and it is not fair to him to have to go through this. If there is any way on this God’s green earth we could do an intervention on her, that would be the best thing in the world. Our family is falling apart and she will die if she does not get help.
My mother was an amazing mother at one time in my life. She became a meth addict while in her 30s. Her husband introduced her to it so she can stay awake to transport drugs across the Mexican border for her. He was a very evil man and I do blame him partially for the way she is. I love my mother with all of my heart even after allowing her husband to mentally, physically and sexually abuse my sisters and I from the age of 4 to 14. She decided to have a child with another man and my aunt adopted him because she couldn’t stay clean. About 3 years later she gave birth to a second son and we all take care of him but for the most part my 72 year old grandmother does. She takes abuse from my mother because of the resentment she has towards her. My mother and aunt were abused by their brother for many years after their biological father passed from a heroin overdose. If my mother could get help I know she would be an amazing and strong mother like she used to be. Please help me help her. Our family supports her and we all want to get her help but it’s so expensive and hard to find a rehab that will take her or that we can afford. I pray this gets into the right hands and know that we need the help. She is 47 years old now and I fear for her life. Please help us
I have a 19 year old son who is addicted to weed and i think pills. I’ve had him in several different centers since age 14. But nothing works . so im asking for HELP . please help me to help him . I dont wont to loose my son to drugs or pills. Someone reach out to us and tell me what can I do to help him LIVE a proficient life. 10-12-19.
I need help to help my mother. She is a cross addicted alcoholic. She started with prescription pills and alcohol when she was a teenager, mind you shes in her late forties. She has alot of her past that she will not let go. She will go on roller coaster rides with alcohol and pills. It has even led her to other drug use. I was heading down the same path when I was in highschool but as seeing what my mother went through, I was offered help from a rehab and I decided to take the opportunity. I wish she would see the same in these opportunities but hasn’t been in an intervention type theme to maybe help? Shes living with her boyfriend who is just as bad with drinking as she is, if not worse. I don’t want to see my brothers children or mine to go without a grandmother. She barely even knows her grandchildren now because she tries to hide the fact that she still drinks. She has terrible depression and anxiety which she is prescribed for. There have been many times where she has tried to leave this life, a couple times I was there to witness at a young age. Always drunken arguing and disagreements. I grew up with this with my little brother and felt as if I needed to protect him from her addiction. All the police lights, hospital trips and weekend long binges where we would see her that morning before work and would not see her again until after the weekend when she would come home from work after that weekend. My nana (her mother) is treated terribly by her. My mother has also lost her biological father around fifteen due to alcoholism. I’m begging for help to help her! I know you cant help yourself unless you seek help but I’m not ready to lose my mother yet. She used to be my rock, my best friend when I had no one. Please help me help my mother and our family!
My nephew has been a addict since his teenage years. He is 32 years old now and has been put into rehab by the family twice. He is so severely addicted he can not get better. He has stole from every person in the family, lies and always makes excuses for why he has a problem. He was just recently beat in the face with a brick by the other addicts he hangs with and almost died. His face is crushed and needs more surgery but has no insurance. He has liver, kidney and hepatitis C from all the drugs and drinking. If he does not get help soon, he will die before 40 years old.

hi, my name is kyley and my mom is jil. she has been addicted to crystal meth for probably 3 years now at least. there have been many traumas in her life that have led to her drug abuse such as severe family trauma and trauma related to her experience in the military. my mom is mentally ill and because of her mental state she has not been able to take care of me or either of my brothers for years. i haven’t seen my mom since i graduated from high school (over a year ago) and haven’t been able to speak to her due to her being in and out of jail and without access to a phone or computer. the only time i’ve seen her face is on inmate search sites where her mugshots are shown. my mom needs help. i need help. every single day i suffer not knowing where she is or if she’s even alive. i need my mom in my life and so does my brother. i fear if i don’t get help for her that she’ll die alone on the streets. please help us.
Please help . The father of my son is struggling with a very strong meth addiction and i need him to be a father to his son. my baby needs his dad alive. please help me.
Excellent article. I certainly love this site. Thanks!
My sister needs help. We come from a family of 13 siblings of which one was from out of wed and I know that affected my little sister. She meet her first and only boyfriend very young They had 2 boys. She got pregnant a 3rd time and only my dad who is now deceased my mom and I know she aborted and she asked me to accompany her. Lord only knows the toll it has taken on her & me because I can’t even imagine what she has to deal with, as her older sis never knew the pain and anguish this has brought her. Her man did things after they moved together he started dealing bringing his friends into his home. She use to lock herself in the room and that’s were it started. Drinking by herself, hiding bottles. Drinking at work. She was an awesome mom and a great house maker. No longer later my dad passed. She was his fav. I feel she lost her hero I’ll never know. She shut down 2000 she lost her home kids and has lived in and out of places, not seeking help. Can’t hold a job, no insurance. We lost my lil brother in 2015 and my oldest brother 2019. I do not want to lose my sister she has an awesome nerdy. Please HELP
I really wish my biological dad had gotten an intervention. I was only 9 when he overdosed on heroin. Maybe if he had gotten help then he would be alive today and maybe helped me and been the father he never was.
My 38 year old brother has been out on the streets homeless for five years now drowning himself out with any drug he can get his hands on. Last drugs of choice our family was aware of him using is heroin, and crystal meth. He was such a beautiful soul, spirit and person as a whole who would do anything for his family, the very best role model to his two sons; so full of life. After the split with his children’s mother (a 17year relationship) he dove into a deep depression, meet a rebound herion addict who turned him out onto the poison, and it was end game from there on. Our whole family tried to warn him he was inviting in lethal company, but he turned a deaf ear to us all. About three years ago his “rebound partner” got clean and sober and no loner associates with him, she was the main reason he said he was waiting to get clean, now that she is long gone he is faced along with all of us of the severity of his addiction. He has overdosed well over five times that we are aware of. We as his family are barely staying afloat to make ends meet in our own households; to try to consider a rehab for him is depressing because we know it’s not a reality that we can afford. I pray with tears falling from my eyes pouring out of my soul that someone can help my family and I- my once beautiful brother get the first step to rehabilitation that he so desperately needs before his next overdose is his last heartbeat. Thank you so much for reading and God bless!🙏
I wish I could give you a hug and tell you that you are a good person. Everyone has a battle to fight and some are not strong enough to handle it.
I have a daughter who is an alcoholic and she has wrecked her three children’s lives as well as mine. I have gotten her into program after program, but she goes right back to the alcohol.
I hope you find strength and love to surround you and know that you are never alone! 🙏❤️

Hi I’m Dana’s mother in season 13 she was voted the saddest story.
I want to say thank you for the life raft you sent our family. I used my tools, Dana has been doing very well.
She’s living in her own home, has a new family with 3 children. She’s been in parades out here in Eureka Springs she totally took her life back.. during her healing she lost her dad and uncle hardly ever seeing her son and still pushed through and succeeded. She’s actively looking for work.. she would like to share her story in rehabs . She has met the new rehab people in Eureka Springs Arkansas I believe Mr. Spencer is involved with. They couldn’t believe the transformation in Dana. She goes to church now and loves to canoe with her new family. Her boyfriend is a physical fitness trainer has been a top model in California in the fitness industry. His brother was in NFL adores her alot..Dana put her life back together after horrible tragedies that followed the fire and her burying her children. I can honestly say I got my daughter back and she will never go back only forward. I’m very proud of her! She’s been sober for years now. So thank you Intervention TV for saving my family’s life.
If our family can do it, anyone can do it..

My stepdaughter is 25 years old. She is currently addicted to meth. She may be doing other drugs also, but meth is the only one we are aware of. She is extremely thin, she needs help. She has lost custody to her daughter who is 5. She was one of the best moms when she first had her daughter, but then met a drug dealer who eventually became her boyfriend. He died from an overdose. She needs help or she will die. Please help!
I have a friend that I love so dearly,she is the daughter of my best friend. She has been in a 30 day rehab, thats all her ins will cover. She has tried AA but to no avail, She is really a narcart addict. Ive been in AA since 1986. She has beg for help several times but she backs away. She needs desperate help. Her mother will help but her brother, her mothers son all blame her for Danielle problem, They all are such problems. I will do anything to help her as well as her mother. I will say her mother enables her at lot. All i can say is please help her. There is not enough money except her insurance UHC. I cant beg enough to help her please. Can u help her she needs it so badly. She is nasty, except for me, but she is out all night, her brother and uncle have taken away so much as far as the house, no refrieg at all, they took the car, oh my godness now they are saying Kim has 45 days to get out. Her mother Clair is very sick in hospital, memory loss, etc. There is so much more to tell you but i cant explain it all, THe boys say that if Danielle gets straight they will change things around. Which does not make sense to me at all, They are rude, nasty and blame Kim for all of this. Please her her and her mother. I will be there for all of it. It seems to be a little confusing and lying from somebody. I think I know who but not 110% sure. Again I need your help please.
I was hoping that there was a more intimate way to reach out to your program. But, I wanted to say thank you so much for what you do. I lost my dad due to drugs. He is no longer with us, it was not an overdose. I have watched almost every episode of Intervention and I honestly have so much respect and faith in all of the people I’ve seen accept your help. Even the ones who leave treatment and go back. I wish that we had this opportunity to help my dad. What you are doing is inspirational and so good. I’m thankful for people like you who are trying to get addicts the help they need.
I need help with my 39-year-old son who lives in NY. He’s a Legal Secretary at a prestigious Law Firm in NY, having received a BS from Columbia just 3 or 4 years ago. He was a recovering meth user when he enrolled into Columbia and finished in 4 years, so I know he can stay off of drugs. In the last 12 months, he’s attempted suicide by taking GHB and Meth. 4 times. 3 of those times are within the last 30 days. He’s also on depression meds since March 2018 because he had to have part of his Aorta replaced due to an infected aortic aneurism. His relapse happened within 6 months of that surgery. However, he relapses, then sleeps for weeks at a time and I don’t think he takes his depression meds. He calls out for help and they just send him to the mental institution instead of to a long-term rehab. He wants to do better and I know long-term rehab can help him. He’s in a mental hospital right now, admitted on yesterday. He’ll probably be there between 1 and 2 weeks. Please help me give him a chance.
I need help
Please help my daughter she’s a prostitute on the streets of Denver Colorado Colfax Avenue she’s 32 years old she is depicted to heroin and meth her husband recently OD’d and died and she’s been on a spiral down she has two daughters and a son who loved her dearly and who live with my mother and myself I need my baby girl back please I’ll do anything I will work I will do anything please help her please help my babies get their mommy back
My grandaughter has a baby with a young man and he is an alcholic. He cannot get by one hour without drinking and he is always in a very bad mood. This has caused them to have several fights and it has sometimes made him turn to drugs. He really needs an intervention. His parents are at witts end and ready to try anything because he has destroyed so much!
My mom is on meth really bad and I would like to save her she has 5 kids and grandbabies that all need her how can I save her?
My brother-in-laws daughter is an admitted alcoholic but even though she has OD’d 3 times, she refuses to admit drug addiction. She has agreed several times to seek help but when it comes time, she makes a million excuses why she can’t go, right now. I think she is 36, she was strikingly beautiful but now is looking worse and worse, every time I see her. I have tried to get her to seek help, as I have just over 2 years of total sobriety but she just keeps weaseling out of it.
I would like to know what an estimated cost for your services would be and how long it would take to get to the intervention.
Thank you

I think I need some help!! I watch your show and try to convince myself I’m not as bad as the people on each episode. I cant afford the help and neither can my family. I go back and forth with the decision to get help but am terrified. I definitely DO NOT want to be on film for tv. Can you give me some advice?
Has anyone gotten any kind of response from posting on here? I need some advice badly. I need some help but do not want to be filmed or aired on tv. I watch your show all the time and try to convince myself that I’m ok and have things under control. Sometimes the show even makes me feel better about myself which tells me I’m ok. I dont think i really am. Ive been through a lot in the last 2 1/2 years and struggling to get back up. I know i can do it. I just need some advice from a real professional as I’ve had no luck in seeking the proper help. I think i am basically just lacking the proper tools to cope as well as the motivation from someone that really can help me. As I said, I don’t want to be filmed or on tv, i just got want some advice on what to do. Insurance and money are a bit of an issue as I’m sure you are used to. Can someone please get back to me. Please…….
I’ve left a comment for advice and would like a reply please
My sister is a raging alcoholic who sleeps with lots of men so she has somewhere to stay she is sick I’d like her to get help
My friend has a rather strange addiction that I’m praying you could help her with. She is 38 years old and walks or jogs nonstop 12+ hours a day. She has a history of eating disorders, bipolar, PTSD, OCD, anxiety, ADHD and childhood molestation and teenage rape. She started walking to alleviate her back pain because she has fibromyalgia and walking and laying down are the only positions that dont put her in agonizing pain. She was diagnosed with fibro about 3-4 years ago. Then about 3 years ago she got a Fitbit in an attempt to lose weight for her upcoming wedding. We all noticed she was kind of going overboard with the stepping but assumed when she got to her target weight she would chill out. Instead she kept walking more and more. She told me she couldn’t get enough steps walking alone so she started jogging despite intense pain in her joints. After she got married and got to her goal weight she started waking up extra early in the am to get more steps, she started jogging. Anything that interfered with “her steps” she would get really agitated and sometimes even get full blown panic attacks. Like even stopping to kiss her husband when he got home from work or having to open the door for me when I visit would send her into a freak out. As far as she tells me she now is doing anywhere from 80,000 to 100,000 steps a day! Her husband, mom, sister and I have all tried to talk to her about treatment but she has had previous hospitalizations that were very traumatizing. She knows she needs help but doesn’t know how to find someplace that can address all of her issues. It’s not just an eating/exercise disorder, it’s not just an addiction, it’s not just OCD its everything all together. She keeps losing weight and we all just want our old friend/daughter/sister/wife back. If you think you can help us in any please call her mother. I’m leaving her name and contact info as I have a job that it could be detrimental to be associated with this. Please help
I could not find a place to submit for help. My brother is a heroin addict. He is the most amazing, wonderful man but he is going to die. He started with meth about 10 years ago and now has used heroin for like 2 years. My family is riddled with drug addicts and alcoholics and we need your help
My daughter’s friend wrote in yesterday or the day before but left out some information that I think would be helpful in figuring out if you are able to help her. She jogs about 90,000 steps a day and gets panic attacks or paralyzing anxiety if she can’t constantly jog. Because she lives in a rural area with no sidewalks, she jogs in circles around her coffee table for 12-14 hours a day. She obsessively tracks her calories and co tunes to lose weight. This has been going on for about 3 years now. I’ll try not to reiterate the info my daughter’s friend already wrote in but when I read it she left out a few things. She even panics when she has to stop jogging long enough to grab a bottle of water, or use the restroom. She rarely showers anymore which I think is partially because she doesn’t want to miss steps and part depression. She has started using laxatives and vomiting to control her weight. Her husband hid the scale at her therapists request so we aren’t sure what she weighs right now but I would guess she has lost at least 40 lbs in the past couple years from her already petite frame. She has been hospitalized for mental illness quite a few times in the past and has a fear of hospitals because of her poor treatment there. She acknowledges she needs help but the only treatment programs her insurance covers are hospitals like the ones she experienced before and refuses to try again. She also needs someplace that could help with her very complicated web of problems from her fibro to bipolar, anxiety, eating disorders, PTSD, ADHD, OCD, former trauma and abusive relationships and most importantly her jogging. You are our last hope in getting my daughter back. She is dearly loved by so many people but we feel like she is just a shadow of what used to be. We want the real Liz back. Please let me know if you can help?
I am 32 years old and my father has been an alcoholic all my life. When I would be in a hospital having surgeries as a baby, he would be at a bar getting drunk, There was a fund set up to help pay for medical expenses and he has stolen from that to purchase alcohol and drugs. Today, he is still an alcoholic, and a nasty one at that. He is a totally different person when he is drunk and it can get scary. Everything has to be his way, everything he says is correct and nothing else matters. I only hope that one day he will get real help.
Hello. I’ve left a comment before about myself asking for advice. I do not see it on the site and have not received a response. As i stated in my lost comment. I need advice for help but do not wish to be filmed or on television. I am a 38 yo cocaine addict, I drink almost daily, and have recently been dabbling with heroin. I also suffer from depression, am bipolar with psychosis, as well as PTSD. My father recently died from lung cancer and was a crack and meth addict. My mother is a co dependent, controlling alcoholic. My relationship with my father was basically non-existent and emotionally abusive. I fought for any kind of relationship and to be recognized as being his child for my whole life until he died unexpectedly while i was living in the Virgin Islands. I never got the closure I’ve craved all these years or the ability to forgive him for all he had done to me. I inherited his house when he died & live with all the bad memories that happened in it. My relationship with both parents was and is toxic to my mental and physical health. I have lost all motivation, do nothing that I used to love, and pretty much have given up on everything. I’m not sure who I even am anymore. I have been searching for the proper help for years with no positive outcome. Maybe I am seeking it in all the wrong places. I am running out of money and on the verge of possibly losing my house. I would really like to sell and go back to the islands but know I can’t run from myself or my addiction. That would make me kind of happy again but not the happy I’ve been looking for my whole empty life. Can you PLEASE give me some advice on what I should do? I cannot go away for months at a time, leaving my house and my animals with no one to care for them. My mother can’t afford to take care of those things for me for that long. She needs help as well. Money is definitely an issue for us at the moment due to both of us not working. I just want some advice to point me in the right direction. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP? CAN I PLEASE JUST GET AN REPLY THROUGH EMAIL? ANYHTING WILL HELP. Thanks in advance

We need your help NOW! There’s a 37 year old woman (Hannah), who has a 7 year old daughter, and she’s hooked on Heroin. Please contact me for the full story. She’s willing to go on your show.
What if you don’t have a family to intervene and help you get into an awesome place for help? Whayif a person doesn’t have $$ for help but knows they need it? Yea, that’s me. I live alone and have a dog-certified therapy trained dog but not a lot of money.
My mom has been an addict ever since I was born. I truly don’t think my mom was a sober mom ever , at any point in time of my 17 years and don’t think she ever will become sober unless it’s taken to the most serious term it can be . which I believe is this . I don’t want to lose my mother period but I lost her as a mom so long ago.
My mother has been on crack for over twenty plus years. She is 48 now and resorts to prostitution to afford her addiction. My family and myself have persuaded her a number of times to go to rehab and each time she has signed herself out. She lost custody of us when we were younger due to her addiction. My grandmother raised myself and my siblings were raised by their fathers. My mother use to hold a job but now she doesn’t. The lowest point was when she came down from her high, she felt suicidal and was admitted into a psych unit. My mother knows she has a problem but it seems like she is comfortable being labeled as the family crack head. We love her and want the best for her. Worrying about her when she disappears without a call or etc is very stressful for the family. We love her and just want to see her get her life together before it is too late. We need your help, please. Our family is in need pf an intervention.
My oldest son Sean Who is now 34 years old has been addicted to various drugs since he was 17 years old. He has two daughters that my husband and I have adopted and have been raising since they were babies. They only lived with him and his girlfriend for a very short period of time. We allowed them to stay in our home for about a year and a half hoping that they would get their lives together but after seeing that that was not going to happen we told them they had to leave. DFACS became Involved which is why we have our grandchildren now as they never did what they were supposed to do to get them back. My youngest son David lived through this turmoil and as much as he hated And resented it …he became an addict himself. He is homeless and has been for quite some time. We made him leave our home after he attacked my husband a year and a half ago. He is 26. We are in desperate need of help for these two men boys. F

Please help my mother and my brother. My mother is a crack addict and my brother is a meth and who knows what else addict.

I’m now 20 with her first grandson/grandchild. I just hate having to watch her do this type of stuff.

The deal with my brother I have no idea what his deal is. And I hate watching this type of stuff. Please help my brother and my mom!!!!

How can we get help for my ex husband? He is the father of my 3 beautiful daughters and it has been so heartbreaking to watch them hurt… but it’s been hard to watch a good father go down hill we are at a life death situation. He is addicted to meth and alcohol for sure. He had been arrested numerous times for a PI. I’ve sit on the phone till 2 or 3 am helping him stay calm and while he’s been in ER trying to get help. By Gods grace he can get help….
How does my son and our family get on the show in order to get the treatment process started? My son has been addicted to crack most of his adult life.
He’s now 31. His live in hard working, enabling girlfriend of 11-12 years has had enough of his not wanting to get treated. She is not a meth user but drinks and smokes weed. My son is delusional. He’s not a harden Criminal be cause of his fear Of being locked up. but is a petty criminal. We does not have the desire to even want to get off of it with treatment. If he feels threatened he’ll genuinely loose his girlfriend who’s been taking care of him, then he’ll make a short temporary attempt just to get her back and off his back. He’ll die and or will be mentally insane. I believe that has already started. I’m not financially able to assist with fees for a Center, especially one that has the knowledge to treat his particular drug addiction. As we know their not all the same. Years ago he was court ordered and it was short stay treating opioids, weed, and alcohol…not crack. It was fruitless. If you’re still filming the show and can/would help my son, It would be our only chance in the 14-15 years he’s been addicted to get treated and a chance at life. all I know is we’re desperate. If you’re
from the show and would like to reach me please respond to Dominic’s Ma
Please excuse all the typos. Dominic’s Ma 🙏🏻
2 parents 5 siblings 6 kids 7 grand kids and why noone loved me as much as their loved ones on the show
My son is 35 years old. Deaf since birth and has a defibrillator because of heart condition since birth. His girlfriend that he lived with in my house of 2 years left him last year for a friend of his. He has been snorting ice meth since then. He is getting out of control. He doesn’t take heart meds, sleep, or eat. He only weighs maybe 90 lbs. He fights with me, hurts me, and thinks he’s still talking to his girlfriend. Pls help! Cops won’t help!
My mother has been addicted to heroin, meth, xanax, anything to get her high. I’m 23 and my brother is 26/27. She’s been addicted for years and has owed me and my brother money. Well over $200. She’s in Texas and we are in Georgia with my dad. We can’t deal with this in a healthy way because of how awful it is and what she has put her own family through. Her mom and dad struggle financially and her own brother is in jail and has taken money that was supposed to go towards his books. Her boyfriend is not helping. He has made her fall hard and has kept her into it and has even prostituted her for money for drugs. We’re tired and sad and need help. It’s our story.
I am struggling with addiction. I have no insurance and desperately need help!!! I have two small children and I need help please.

Wrong site. Call medicaid
Hey Danielle! Where are you from ?
Me (age 56), my oldest sister (58), my younger sister (54) and my younger brother (now deceased) all grew up under the dysfunctional parenting of our mother, who was left with no financial, spiritual, emotional or physical help from any of our three different biological fathers. My older sister and I are full biological siblings.
I am now estranged from my mother after being cussed by her (again) during our last phone conversation. Our last conversation was tense and obviously volatile as we were talking about the murder of my youngest brother while he was incarcerated. The factual reality of my brothers lifestyle was that he was a serious drug addict and time after time chose an addicts behavior. My sisters and my mom can’t handle hearing this truth about him and they resent me (between themselves) for openly saying it. Since my moms last cussing and phone hang-up, I’ve told her that I’m finished. No more communications or bad behavior between me and any of them. I told my mother that I didn’t want any contact with any of them unless it’s through a family therapist. It’s been three years now with no communication and seemingly no attempts at family counseling.
What should I do, if I can do anything, to try and get them to join me in family therapy?
I have a sister who has been an alcoholic for 3 years now. She goes in and out of drinking heavily to only having a few drinks a day. She has a fiancé and a 3.5 year old little girl. She needs help to stop drinking as she is a functioning alcoholic. Please help.
I also have a best friend who’s sister is a drug addict and has been for YEARS. She thinks this is the way her life has to be and does not want to get help. She thinks this is how she is going to live forever and die. Her family is very supportive and try to help her as best as they can but she won’t get the help she needs. She is facing prison/jail time for overdose and charges. She has od’d at least 3 times over the years of being an addict. Please please PLEASE help these two loving, caring, sweet sisters. Neither have the funds to do so and it would be amazing for you to help them. Thank you for your time.
How do we contact the show to help a friend/boyfriend?? He’s addicted to heroine and meth and is in a revolving door type life in and out of jail due to child support and probation violation. He’s got some deep rooted trauma and has never dealt with it. He’s not welcome back atone rehab here in our hometown and he’s been to another about 5-6 times. He’s been to rehab 12 times. He’s in jail right now but within a week of getting out he’s going to be back to shooting up and living a life of lies. I love him dearly and want to see him learn how to be clean and live life differently. He needs a rehab not anywhere near home and sober living for multiple months. Please if y’all can help please do. He’s got a son who will be 18 in March and he barely has a relationship with him and the youngest 3 kids were adopted a couple of years ago and don’t even have his last name anymore. He’s a good guy when he’s not trying to get high or get something he needs. I’m desperately trying to get him the help he needs when he walks out of jail in July please please please help us.
We all need help.
We are all addicted.
Facebook. Meth. Texting. Heroin. Cigarettes. Opiates. Cheese. Sex.
This. Is. A. Problem.
Let’s face it.
Amen Kayla.
And yet the proper Help is Not available for those who desperately Want Help and Want to Live, Not Die.
The Doctors, they won’t take responsibility for not only Creating the Monsters but Feeding the Monsters instead of admitting the Very Wrong thing they are doing.
Our Government is letting it’s Citi down and letting us die.
They continue to let the Pharmaceuticals create the Devastating Poisons.
My Doctors Appointment was a let down today when I was asking and hoping for Help, a Lifesaver.
I have No one in my life that cares if I live or Die.
I’m so Sick….
I want to Live 💔😢
My daughter has been addicted to meth for years. I tried a local rehab and she was clean for 3 months and went back to the streets leaving her 4 year old daughter that I have been raising. I’m not sure if shes selling or doing prostitution to support her habit and life on the streets. Every day I wonder if shes ok and have to see her daughters broken heart. She may have someone wanting her dead for $800 she owes them. She needs help before it’s too late. Shes 23 years old and has been using drugs since probably the age of 14 🙁
You are most likely correct in your suspicions regarding your daughter’s sources of income, and most of all, your fears for her life are not unwarranted. It may not be too late for her, but if SHE doesn’t want her lifestyle to change, it’s all moot point. No matter how much YOU want it for her, or are willing to do and give to help her to obtain this change, it can never be unless she wants it enough to make that first step. She is the only one who can know when she is ready. I am so sorry for your grief and worry and for your granddaughter’s heartbreak. I wish the best for you and your family. The only option for you is to put it it in God’s hands.
God Bless you and your family,
Respectfully,
Irish Lea Terry
I have a brother in law who is completely dependent on meth. He needs help and even with the law after him he won’t stop. I’m afraid it will continue to get worse and he needs help. He has struggled with this for years and I’m at a loss of what to do.
Hello this is Angelina! I was wondering how I would get on the intervention show.
My daughter’s biological father has the same addiction. He suffers from dual diagnoses. He has pretty much been absent her whole life due to many situations. As she told him recently if he would start getting help she would start to try to build a relationship with him. Having friends who suffer from addiction and dual diagnosis even have said until you can admit you have an issue nothing will work. Addiction is also a brain disease. I suffer from mental health and I was put on 72 hour holds. People my family they thought they could help me. Even though part of me knew it was there at the same time I didn’t wanna see it. I didn’t want to accept it. I didn’t wanna do anything about it. I can still remember the day perfectly when I hit rock bottom and it took me to lose it all in life. It was at that point I realized I needed help. Unfortunately it took that for me to see I needed help. At that point I checked myself in and it was then that I started to turn myself around. I had everybody around me who loved me and wanted me to get better but I still didn’t want to listen beforehand. They say you hurt the ones you love the most and honestly that was very much true. The ones you should listen to unfortunately you don’t. Hopefully he sees what he has in front of him before it’s to late. My mental health was part of the reason it destroyed my family. Another was my fiance who was addicted to painkillers along with Dual diagnoses that haven’t been taken care of.
I pray you are ok
I have a grandma and grandpa that are addicted to multiple different substances. I currently stay with them. They adopted me when I was very young. Two years ago I lost my biological mom to cocaine. My heart shattered into a million pieces. I would love for somebody to hear my story and please give my wonderful grandparents some help they need. They are just sick, they’re not bad people. I just want my grandparents back.
my mom has been addicted to heroin and opioids for years. she started with marijuana, then to pills, then finally.. heroin. she’s put me and my brother in many dangerous situations. she turns extremely violent when asked to get help, she’s in denial. she lost me and my brother to the system due to her drug abuse. i need help, i don’t know what else to do.
I am leaving this message because I have a friend of 13 years that I love and care about very deeply. He didnt have the best childhood for numerous reasons. At some point long before we met he starting smoking crack. In 2017 we started dating and in about 4 months he told me about this. I was devastated. But I remained friends with him. His mom suddenly died in May of 2018 and he was totally destroyed. He and his mom had a very close relationship. His smoking really amped up after this and it is totally out of control. Right now our friendship is on the verge of ending. I can no longer deal with lies and false promises. I would really like to get him help because I dont know what he does to get his fix but it sickens me to think about it. Unfortunately his insurance will not pay for rehab. He wants to go but we just cant find help. If you can do anything at all to help us out we would so greatly appreciate it. He had a big impact on my autistic and now my son doesn’t want anything to do with I’m. He was the first person my son spoke to outside of the family. My son even came out of his shell so far that he actually went to my friends house alone. Meaning it was the first time my son was away from myself or my daughter. I want them to get that back. Please help us. Thank you very much.
I face addiction and seriously need GUIDANCE on what I should do. I’m only 27 and addicted to benzodiazepines(xanax). I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place and dont know what to do or how to get help, I’ve been to rehab twice now, and left both times because I had a way home ( only 45 miles from home) I need help getting on the right path to success. I have a family who depends on me! Please help!
My father is addicted to meth. I haven’t talked to him in a year because of an incident. He has tried almost every drug besides heroin. He is a manipulator, liar, cheater and can be a hateful person. He asks his parents for money. I myself almost being 25 have paid for some utility bills and he owes me $500 because of it. He’s a 50 year old man. He’s lost relationships with two of his daughters and his parents and will eventually lose his other two daughters one day. He’s in denial. He will deny anything and everything. I’m scared for myself that when I get the call one day that he’s gone my feelings will be void for him. My state of mind if he dies, it won’t matter cause my life will still be the same and it will go on. He doesn’t realize what he’s missing. I’m his oldest daughter and I recently got married. Nothing was said from him. He’s going to be missing out. I’m going to be getting a call one day that he’s dead. And my heart breaks the most for my grandparents, I don’t want them to burry a son. Drugs has taken over his life. And I’m afraid they will win.
My 17 year old daughter has been smoking marijuana since she was 14 years old also drinking. At 16 she used Xanax and later on ecstasy. Now she is 17 years old and smokes marijuana cartridges. She takes a hit about every 10 to 15 minutes a day. It’s the first thing she does when she wakes up if she doesn’t smoke she gets irritated, mad, she goes days without eating, body pains and now she is showing signs of respiratory problems please help my daughter who I fear will soon start using stronger drugs
I see people leaving comments, I am curious if responses are received?
I have a brother who has been on Meth and popping pills since he was in high school. He is now almost 30 years old and we don’t know what to do anymore. My parents do nothing but help his addiction. They’ve given him multiple houses, vehicles, a business, pay his bills, and just do anything for him when he calls, which is constant. He’s done several different things to try and sober up but none were affective. He’s moved away to other family and has also been to rehab as well. After rehab he was clean for 2-3 years. He ended up in a relationship with a woman who had 3 children. They lived together through this duration and didn’t live a very happy life. Then ended up in a bad car wreck that broke his back. He was obviously prescribed lots of pain medication and that’s when it all started to go down hill. His relationship started to worsen, then we started to notice he was using again. Him and his girlfriend stayed away from most functions with the family. When they did end up coming around we would notice how bad they’ve started looking. It was clear both were using. She eventually left and we haven’t heard from her. But to this day my brother still uses. He’s stolen from the family on multiple occasions and has even almost ruined my dads business to help his addiction. I’ve never understood why he used. He would make up so many things to cause problems. When he would talk about his childhood I wasn’t sure what to believe.
Hello, my name is Kristen and I am 20 years old. I have two older sisters who are in trouble. My oldest sister is almost 30 years old and she is currently facing time in prison for dealing drugs with her boyfriend. So at the moment she is completely out of the picture. My concern is my second eldest sister Courtney. She is 26 years old and she is an extreme addict. She drinks, smokes meth, does coke, and probably more. She sells her body for money for the drugs. She has endangered her kids on more than one occasion by putting them in the car with her while she was drunk, despite us calling the cops on her. She’s threatened people’s lives with a knife, random strangers. She sees people who aren’t there. She is always paranoid that someone is watching her. The guys she hangs around with abuse her kids and her. They even result to drugging her and taking pictures of her nude, then sending the pictures to my mother’s phone. She just lost her kids two months ago to CPS because she tried to commit suicide by overdosing on her medication and drinking with lithium in her system.She has actually been continuously hospitalized for her drug habits. She has gone through two strokes and has almost died. Her kids name’s are Alayna and Damon, they’re the light of my life and I am in so much pain after loosing them. My sister has been raped, molested, and beaten by these guys she is hanging around. I don’t know what to do anymore. My mom supports her drug habit by feeling bad for her and letting her guilt my mom into buying and spending money on her, or giving her pain pills. My mom is an addict as well. She does Hydrocodone and she drinks everyday. She gets loud and she tries to fight people when she is drunk. My mom has also been beaten on and raped most of her life, so she handles those feelings by drinking. My mom is almost 50 years old and spends 200$ or more a week on just pills alone. I need help. My family is falling apart and I seem to be the only sober one here, trying to hold it together the best I can. I’ve always been the grown up in the group of my mom, my sisters, and I. I’ve never got to have the childhood that I’ve always wanted. Now my niece and nephew are facing the same fate. I don’t know what to do anymore and I’m on my last string of hope. I’ve been watching a lot of the shows of Intervention and I honestly feel this is the only way I can get my family back and sober away from the drugs and get them the therapy they honestly really REALLY need. I’m afraid my sister Courtney is going to kill herself or worse. I love her so much, and I love my mom too. But I don’t have the resources or help to give them. I’ve tried everything. Please, if you read this. Help us. Please help us. I don’t want to bury my sister. I don’t want to bury my mother. It’s too soon. I am reaching out to y’all. Please.
My name is Liz I have been fighting alcohol and drug addiction since I was 17. I think everything started when i was gang raped at 17. I started having anxiety attacks but couldn’t remember the rate only flashes. I’ve been in and out of AA since I was 22. The last six months I’ve been hiding my drinking, cocaine use and meth use from all my family. I’ve stolen from my dad, sister and brother, including money, pills, and alcohol. I havent held a job for more then 1 year since I was 15. I was diagnosed with PTSD in 2017. I never completed counseling. I’ve had three DUI’s since 2002. I’m currently not in compliance with my DUI sentence. I never finished treatment last summer. I live with my 70 yr old father who enables me and I know it’s wrong but I constantly take his oxycodone and his money. I babysit for my sister to cover basic needs, but I’ve been using neth at her house while watching my nephews Ben 5 and Max 8. I’m in a spot of complete defeat but I cant seem to surrender. I’m ready but scared to admit to my myself and my family how screwed up I really am. I tried to put myself into treatment here in Vancouver in 2015 my state insurance wouldn’t cover inpatient cause I had two weeks clean. I was td yo come back the next day and give dirty UA and I could get detox then insurance would have to pay for inpatient. I made it 5 months that time before I relapsed. I’m 39 and I’m scared.

Our family has 2 addicts living in my parents house.. my 54 year old sister & her 21 year old son. She denies being on drugs but her actions, gone for 3-4 when she gets any money, then comes home & sleeps for days. When she is up then she screams & accuses my parents of all kinds of stuff. She tells them they don’t love her, they give her son anything he wants they are the reason he is on drugs, etc then the cycle starts over. She doesn’t work because she claims to have illness & can’t but she can do what she wants when she wants, and her mouth is a meth mouth with the rottening black nubs for teeth. We have found meth pipes, meth, pills, etc on her but she always blames her son. We have tried approaching her on the subject & she blows up at us is verbally abusive to my parents.
Her son, my nephew, she actually left him with me & my parents at 4 years old because “he” didn’t want to move with her to her boyfriends house. I live next door to my parents so I can be there to help them when they need it. Her son has OD’ed 5-6 times in the last 3 years, stolen thousands of dollars from parents who are on a fixed income. We have taken him to local facilities, had him put in behavior facilities, had him arrested, & he keeps doing it. He buys drugs now & keeps them in my parents house. He uses her ion, meth, pills, anything.
My parents have been enablers but I have now convinced them to get them out of their home. I’d there anyway we could get help. They have no insurance & we are broke due to all of this! Please help!
My husband is an alcoholic. He’s depressed with PTSD, Depression and narcissistic and bipolar disorder. He stopped taking his meds cold turkey and started drinking all day every day. He’s been to jail for domestic violence. We need help!!
I have a 41y/o daughter that has abandoned her 6 y/o daughter who has Golden Har Syndrome, Scholiosis, Tortacolis, and is totally deaf. She is blind in one eye. The child is extremely bright considering she has all these medical issues and a mother that doesn’t want the responsibility of raising her. My daughter is addicted to meth and has been for about 3 years. Her. daughter was taken away by CPS and the paternal grandmother adopted her, but she expired in Nov 2019.A 25 y/o Uncle is taking care of her at this time. I am the maternal gm and I am disabled and unable to care for the child alone. She can stay with me as long as someone is here to help with her. My daughter has no insurance at all. I know the town she is in but have no clue as to who she stays with. She will not contact me at all. The last I saw my daughter was Xmas of 2019. Her daughter was at my home when her mother was. This little girl is in dire need of a descent upbringing. she is extremely strong and angry at her mother , so she does act out at times . that is why I cannot keep her alone. For the last 2 months she has lost her mother and Her Paternal GM. So she’s got to be angry or something . My daughter needs to get some severe help and runs when I try to help her. I have tried 3 times to get her in a rehab and when they would get a bed she would run.I am lost and don’t know what to do. This is a nightmare, it is like something you would see on tv. or in newspapers. She has been in jail 3X and the dad is on his 2nd round in prison. (Nice bunch isn’t it)if it were’n’t for my belief in Christ I couldn’t survive this. if anyone can help with this pleas contact me. I appreciate all.
GOD BLESS
Vickie
How much does it cost to get help?
I have a very close friend that is an alcoholic. He has been drinking since he was 16, now 35. He’s had jobs in his life growing up but hasn’t worked for the past 3 years. He has a nursing associate degree but the drinking has caused pancreatitis issues so his last job 3 years ago let him go and he hasn’t worked since. He has drank so much that last summer he had a seizure due to trying to stop drinking around one of my friends. His brain is numb to the drinking causing him to appear normal to other people, even though he drinks a fifth of vodka a day and goes through a half gallon of vodka about 2-3 days. He has turned yellow and had clay colored poop due to his bilirubin being too high to where he almost died if it weren’t for going to the hospital a few months ago. He can not afford his house payment anymore or his car payment. He can not afford to lose his life. He is so smart and intelligent but his health is very important. His kidneys, pancreas, and liver are dying due to his drinking. He’ll leave outings like Christmas dinner, thanksgiving, 4th of July,bowling, etc early because of being too tired from the alcohol or anxious from not having a drink. When we went bowling, he staggered walking in. We got 3 frames in and we had to leave because of him not being able to stand up in the alley. I had to hold him up to walk him out to the car. He also has depression and anxiety due to the drinking making him sad and anxious. He also has ocd but his drinking stopes him from cleaning and taking care of himself the way he should. He can barely drive or function enough to take his pills daily if he gets too tired from drinking. He can’t go anywhere without his drink because of starting to show withdrawal symptoms within an hour of not having an alcoholic beverage such as his vodka. He wakes up super early in the morning around 4-5 a.m after going to bed at 9-10 p.m because of waking up from the withdrawal symptoms. His body jolts a lot until he has a drink. If we can’t get him to stop drinking, he’ll die at a very young age. We want him to be able to get a job and to stop drinking. Somehow we need to stop the habit or were going to lose him very soon. He was the captain of his hockey team, played football, and was an honors student in his nursing classes. He has a twin sister that loves and worries about him. He also has a brother that cares a lot about him as well as his entire family. He has tried rehabs around here but He needs something extreme that’ll push this habit away. His health insurance doesn’t cover the type of place he needs. He needs a place with some one on one and to be around people that want to get better, not just teenagers that are only there to mess around. He has great potential! He needs an intervention because he’s hurting his loved ones but himself even more. We do not want to lose him. Please, please help.
I am a functioning heroin addict of 10 years now. But it has come to an end…I have never been in trouble until now. I need help and a local rehab hasn’t helped the past 3 times I have gone. I need help before it is too late for me. Please can someone help me.
My sister is 31 years old.
She is addicted to meth and I am pretty sure heroin.
She has been addicted for 3 or so years now and has given up on everything.
She has two daughters who she just walked out on for the drugs! She was in and out of jail and everytime she said she would get better but she goes back to drugs.
She had her nursing assistance certificate and was going places until she started the drugs.
It’s torn our family apart. She is not who she used to be.
We don’t want her to die!! She is young and beautiful and we know she has potential but she is addicted.
Please help us.
Pleaseee.
We want her back !

To Donna (I think)
You did an intervention with a lady who had twins, and 1 of them had intellectual disabilities. He was affected by it and moved out; however, he was not included in the actual intervention. How rude!
Fortunately my family is alcohol free, but our family has many many folks with differing disabilities. Our late son could not walk, talk or use his hands. However, if someone was affecting him, he would be included while being protected from the offender.
My daughter is addicted to ICE as a family we have no type of insurance on her medical/burial. I’m fearful that one day I’m going to get that fatal call that she’s dead. I’m not sure if its the side effects of the drug itself but her behavior is extremely abnormal. Perhaps she has gotten ahold of some type of “mickey”
My uncle is a meth addict; he steals, manipulates, throws tantrums, and more. My mother who has been my uncles ‘motherly figure’, since him and my mother’s mom died of lung cancer when he was 16, she was 29 enables him. My father is a drunk, he has been since he was in his 20’s. I’m the youngest, so I’ve only known this part of him. He has been especially bad the last 13 years due to both of his parents deaths. He is a raging drunk. My brother, who I don’t have a relationship with is a criminal who abuses drugs, and alcohol. He shows sociopath traits and would/has hurt his family. I need help.
My husband is addicted to marijuana. He smokes every morning before work, after work, and on his days off. When he doesn’t have it, he has anger issues. I would like for him to get help.
My mom(56) is addicted to alcohol. Has been for years since my grandmother passed away in 2006. I’ve been tryna keep getting her help but it doesn’t work. She has been in and out the hospital for seizures and withdrawals when she can’t have it. I need help my is all I have now please
My husband is an AMAZING person and father when he is NOT drinking!! We have 4 kids ages 9 through 14. Our two oldest are definitely realizing he drinks now. He doesn’t make any sense when he talks he is irritable and even mean. It is like walking on egg shells. He can go through a giant bottle of vodka in two days. He constantly blames me for his drinking and he says he just cant stop and cant take the time off from work to get help, so he just continues to drink more and more and more the older he gets. I am so worried he is going to lose me and our kids or worse he will die at the rate he is going. He has so much to live for! PLEASE HELP!!!! He is only 36 and I am 29 I dont want our kids to lose their dad, because they are definitely going to SOON =(
I write this knowing not to get my hopes up, having zero expectations… Knowing that I’ll probably die an addict. My name does not matter… I am an addict and so is my father, mother, uncle’s and many before me. I’ve been addicted to heroin since I was 13 years old. My mother is a nurse and injects heroin and smokes meth, has been for years and so does her current husband. My uncle’s are also addicted to heroin and meth. I’ve been clean off meth for 7 years but can’t stop using heroin. My family has been destroyed by this drug. I’ve lost a mother, a father, and my uncle’s who were very close to me and I’ve lost myself. I don’t know what else to do or where to go. I have zero motivation and desire to stop, change, do better. I don’t know who I am anymore. I’m a waste of life. Heroin is in complete control. I’m 22 years old and I still feel like that 13 year old girl who is lost and mad at the world, wanting my mother to love me. Please help me and my family before it’s too late. My mother is on the verge of losing her nursing license and idk where she will be or what she will do if she doesn’t have a regular income. And at this rate I don’t see myself making it to 30. Fetynal is a big scare as well. A huge reality. One hit off a foil, one shot …and it’s over. This is my life. I’m taking a risk of dying with each bag I buy. I want to show my sister, my mother, my GMA who raised me that I can do this. That I can be me again. That I can make something of myself. We’ve hit rock bottom a long time ago. Someone please help us. My grandmother shouldn’t out live me …she shouldn’t have to burry me. I say this knowing how serious it is and it still won’t drive me to stop using. I need real help. I need just one opportunity and I’ll never look back. Please safe my life before there is nothing left to save.
Hello,
My step father has been 500+ lbs the entire time I have known him and it has gotten worse. I see how it has affected my upbringing and my sisters. I see how depressed my mom is because of his eating and lets herself over eat because he does and they love each other. I am surprised he is alive. We all are. We need help to heal as a family. I know his disorder runs deep in his brain from emotional and physical abuse growing up. His upbringing has impacted mine in this manner as well due to his behavioral issues. Everyone wants him to get better but him. It is a constant battle between him and my mom to stay on “diet”. They have tried so many types of diets I can’t count them all. I know he is going to die but I wish it wasn’t because of his eating. He has been to the hospital countless times for b fib heart attacks- the most dangerous kind, infections that don’t heal from being so large, etc. He is a control freak he has to control everything around him. He has not left his house in months, not even for work. He makes big bucks sitting on a computer which escalates the situation because they hire housekeepers, dog poop picker uppers, grocery deliverers, my sister, etc. If my parents are sitting on the couch one room away from the kitchen there’s no way they will get up if a kid is present. Kids are little slaves in his mind. The kids do the moving around the house he should be doing. This has put so much guilt on my sister and I because we enable him and we can not stop because he is the sole breadwinner for the household and parent. I am in college (going into student debt) at the most prestigious hospital in the nation and I do not have the funds or adequate resources to help him. Please help!
My sons father is doing any drug he can get his hands on, and we recently just found out he is shooting up. He needs help before he is no longer here. It’s getting out of control! We’ve tried everything from jail to rehab to etc! Nothing, he’s draining us. & I don’t want my child to loose his dad. HELP!
I am addicted to herion. I am 28 me. I lost my kids and when that happened I tried to fill the void with using more drugs and I am at the point where I want help before I just give up on life. I am alone because I was disowned by my family for drug use. I dont have money to pay for the rehab. I need help!
My twin brother is a 42 year old cocaine/crack addict still living with and recently stealing money from my parents. He resents our older brother and I for no apparent reason. He used to be the star athlete, funny, popular, attractive center of attention in high school and even through college. He had been drinking daily since high school but not sure about that these days as a head on collision/oui left him with a breathalyzer and zero tolerance for 3 years…I have not been to my parents in a long time because I can’t handle the way he hurts everyone, including himself! He also has chrohns disease. I miss my best friend. My guess is without help he will be dead soon. Not to mention the emotional toll it had taken on my Mom and Dad! Is there any help out there for him? Please
My son is going to be 29 yrs old this year. He has been doing meth for almost 10 yrs. He has two beautiful children and the their mother also suffers with the same addiction. Theyre both now in it heavy, leaving the children with her mother. I live about an hour and a half away from them, we need help desperately, I don’t want to bury my son.
My ex-husband is an addict. He now has 6 children ranging from 6 months old to 23. So many times we have tried to get him help. He never stays in treatment. He is addicted to drugs and alcohol. He has childhood trauma. We all are waiting for the phone call he is gone. It torments our whole family. He has OD’d recently and that just intensifies the worry and torment.
This person begged me for the last 8 months to get them help and I tried but now I am out of their life but it’s still hurt knowing that they begged me to help them they kept telling me if they do not get help they will kill other people because they do not care about their life I think they need intervention they are killing them self using the drugs and pushing everyone they know out of their life but I still think they need help was wondering how much this program cost I am going to reach out to this person’s children to see if they can get them help
We are native Americans and my whole family is in active addiction except me. I’ve been sober for 21 years. My focus is on my baby sister. She is addicted to anything she can get her hands on. Her drug of choice is alcohol. She’s been drinking and drugging since she was 14. : /
My brother is a Meth addict and alcoholic. He started using drugs after witnessing the clinical death and revival of our father twice. Our father had ALS since we teenagers. After those incidents he became paranoid to leave my father alone over night while my mother slept and would use drugs to stay up and watch over him. My mother and brother created a very co-dependent relationship this way. She was desperate for the help over night in caring for my father and my brother needed a place to live without any consequences of his actions. He began stealing my fathers pain medications, my mothers car and money. The meth use made him paranoid and delusional. He stabbed holes in the walls of his room, tore out light sockets, emptied the vaccum dust trays everywhere looking for hidden cameras and even tried to take apart my parents back up generator for my fathers medical equipment bc he was certain it was bugged. Most recently he was incarcerated for the past 3 years for the unauthorized use of vehicle that he stole from our visiting Aunt to go get drugs. He lead 15 police officers on high speed chase and subsequently totaled the car before surrendering. While he was in jail our father passed away due his illness and my brother never got to see him or say goodbye. After my fathers death my mother moved in with her sister in California and I moved out of the state as well. We all had been living in Virginia at the time. This left my brother alone in jail still in Virginia. He was released in January of this year expecting to be able to move in with my mother in California, hower that transfer became impossible because he got arrested on unauthorized use of a vehicle again. Now he is homeless and my mother continues to pay his cell phone bill just so she can know hes alive. He only calls her to ask for money and when she refuses to send him any he threatens to kill himself and holds her emotionally hostage. He is definitely still using. Hes almost 30 years old at this point and I don’t know what can be done for him. Hes been offered treatment options several times, given every advantage and still continues to to kill himself even after losing all friends and family. If you think he could be helped I’d love to know how. I care for him so much…he could be so much more than he is.
My ex-husband and I were married when my oldest daughter was only 6 months old. Her biological father left when we found out I was pregnant. My ex-husband and I divorced in 2005. Our oldest was 15 when we separated. He remarried shortly after the divorce to a drug addict. Our daughter started using drugs and dating a guy that was a user. In 2008 my ex father-in-law passed away. In 2010 my second husband passed away. In 2013 a close family member passed away at 32 from breast cancer. Our daughter had flown home from Colorado to take care of her until she passed. In 2015 my ex passed away. In 2016 my father passed away. We have 4 daughters, so with this one being the oldest she was named as executor of the estate. After getting together with her boyfriend and finding out she had a large sum of money at her finger tips he talked her into thinking the $ was hers and that she didn’t have to share it with her sisters. After court and being arrested for embezzlement she was sentenced to 3 months or rehab. Then an overdose lead to another 3 months. Then another overdose lead to 3 months… she is now in her 5th rehab and pretty much has burned all of her bridges. I have no idea where to go from here. She has not contacted any family members since she dropped dirty and ended up back in rehab. I am surprised she didn’t go to prison. I think Covid saved her… Please help, we are at a loss. I now have 6 grandchildren and she has missed out on so much. And who knows how many lives she has left…

My cousin, my best friend, my sister, addicted to heroin and meth for 4 nearly 5 years now, gave up her life, her kids, her family. She’s been to rehab for 3 months, got out, relapsed 3 months later, we tried sending her again but she left after 2 days. Her kids are struggling in life because of her and what she has allowed them to see and go through. She doesn’t care anymore. She needs help and I don’t know how.
To all those who have a family memeber, or themselves, who are addicted to opiates, there are many options. I am an opiate addict and I chose to use MMT, methadone maintenance therapy. Some people think its replacing 1 drug for another, but methadone gave me my life back. Suboxone is another great option. For those reluctant to get help, this maybe a better option to offer. Harm reduction is a step in the right direction.
My mommy is a full blown heroin addict. She’s destroying our family and most of all her life! Please help!
My mother has been an alcoholic my entire life. She is spiraling more out of control. My grandma helps pay for things for her and enables her in ways but she cannot turn her back because she thinks that it’s her daughter and can’t turn her back on her. She has no relationship with any of her children. She drinks vodka everyday. When she couldn’t get alcohol she has twice drank rubbing alcohol and ended up in the hospital. Her liver enzymes have been up since her last check at the dr and she still won’t stop drinking. She also is on methadone. She has been addicted to pain pills for I can tell you how long. When the dr cut her off she now goes to a methadone clinic. We desperately need help.
My fiancé and I are both struggling with addiction… Please help!

I am a 51 yr. Old widow who has been a functioning heroin addict for over 21 years now. I haven’t had a real job for nearly as long as my habit has been in my life. I prostituted myself in Tijuana because the rent, drugs, and overall cost of living is so very cheap. A gram of tar is only $500.pesos( which is about $20- $25. Dollars) the cheapest dope is a $25. Peso paper (about $1.dollar for what would cost $25
dollars in the states). I have one thing that keeps me stuck here. I have 8 chihuahuas. The mother and her children and grandchildren. She’s already 15yrs.old the vet said she should have been put to sleep 6 months ago. I couldn’t do it. She wasn’t sick or anything. She loves to play with me and her granddaughter. She acts like a puppy still. I promised my husband I would take care of these dogs until the day the pass on. And I have been; however, I do feel trapped because I have no one to help me with them so I can go and detox. I have only one person whom I even speak to sadly she is in the same boat as me but she would rob me in a heartbeat if the opportunity arose. So I’m stuck in a unwanted cycle of addiction and self hate. I hate I can’t get clean. I want that more than just about anything. But I won’t abandoned my chihuahuas. I’m the only family they have ever had. Change doesn’t go over well with these little dogs. They need consistency at all times to function normally. So if you have any ideas I’m all ears. I can cross the border. I have no warrants for my arrest. I have no cash and no insurance at this time. Nor do I know how to get either. Thanks for your time and hopefully your advice or options. Sincerely, Ms. Kellie M. Regan

my loved one has been an addict for about 5 years now. she uses heroin through IV in massive amounts and her body is all torn up…. about a year ago she switched from heroine to fentanyl… shes admitted to her addiction spiraling out of control and has tried to get off it…. when it comes to her withdrawls about 15 hours or so in she starts freaking out saying she wants to die.. iv walked in on her cutting her legs with a razor blade because she said it releaves some endorphins…i know she wants help because I can see it in her eyes… but she says suboxone doesn’t make it any easier and she can’t quite comfortably do it. we need help before one morning we wake up and she doesn’t please help us.
My father has been an alcoholic my entire life, but the past few years it has gone down hill because his ex wife took off with their son because of his alcoholic problem, and it has destroyed him on top of losing his father who had taken care of him, paid his bills, did everything for him passed away. I wake up every day in fear that I’m going to get a call that he passed away. We try and try to make him change, he drinks at least a bottle of cheap vodka a day, maybe more and he truly believes he has no issue and it has pushed away every body in his life, and I don’t know what to do and I’m so scared!! Please help.
My husband is addicted to oxy codine, fentanyl, hydro codine, and tramodol. Need help asap..
I need help. My name is Olivia & I’m addicted to meth. I’ve been an addict since I was 13 on & off I started with weed & moved to the next. My family wouldn’t do an intervention for me. They just sit on the side lines & watch. I have childhood trauma. I need to deal with emotional pain & don’t know how.
I watch your show alot I’m very dissent from my family in 2012 I was proven guilty of a 3 Rd degree csc that was my on and off girlfriend I stuggle with alcohol on a daily basis and lie to my family and my parole officer about my addiction I need help
I am a 51 year old drug addict who has been using since the age of 13 when I got drunk for the first time. Over the years, I have been through 2 outpatient treatments, 3 inpatient treatments and halfway houses. I have had periods of sobriety but have not been clean for more than 7 months at a time since the age of 13. I have managed to become a “functioning addict” (if there is such a thing) but have come to the realization that I am committing suicide in a slow, painful way in an attempt to use “my way”. I do not want to die a using drug addict. The consequences of my drug addiction have ranged from losing primary custody of my son at the age of 26 to loss of jobs, homes, family and friends to financial ruin to homelessness and hospitalization for wanting to commit suicide. For two years, I have been living with a lifelong friend and his wife. I have managed to keep a low level full time job, get my license back and buy a car. However, I continue to use and have become a stagnant, sad, almost hopeless version of myself. I want help. I need help. I am terrified of another inpatient treatment center that results in me immediately returning to drug use. I have few friends, no family in my life and no significant other. I am scared for myself. Physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and financial consequences are becoming unbearable and I am tired. I am tired of being tired. I consider myself an intelligent woman but feel myself losing me more every day.
I AM MARRIED FOR 4 YEARS NOW TO AN ALCOHOLIC CRACK USER. I HAVE TRIED EVERY COMPROMISE POSSIBLE AND EVEN FILED FOR A DIVORCE THAT I DID NOT GO THROUGH WITH. I N O LONGER WANT TO BE AN ENABLER AS I AM CONSUMED WITH HIS HEALTH AND LIFESTYLE. WE HAVE LOST WHAT LITTLE OF US WE DID HAVE LEFT. I AM MARRIED YET ALONE AND SCARED, WE LIVE IN THE SAME HOUSE BUT HE’S NEVER THERE- EVEN WHEN HE IS THERE, WE SLEEP IN THE SAME BED BUT I HAVE FELT CLOSER TO STRANGERS. I WANT BETTER, I WANT HIM TO WANT BETTER OR I WANT OUT-PERIOD. HE IS KILLING BOTH OF US.
I feel so sorry for these alcoholics and drug addicts. They obviously are the way they are because of deep hurts. One thing I have noticed is they tend to be very selfish. They do what they want to do even if it is killing them and making their families miserable. Thank you for providing interventions for these addicted people!
Hello my name is Andrea and I have been clean and sober for 4 years. I started using drugs with my parents and it completely tore us apart, what once was a happy family is now broken. My mother is also clean but it’s my dad who im worried about. My dad is worse than ever now, living with his 82 year old mother (my grandmother). My dad had a rough life growing up but I don’t really know all of the details but I know it is part of why he is in so deep. My dad has been to treatment/ rehab multiple times but I have hope because when I was using I was just as stubborn as he was but the last time I went to treatment I stayed clean, something inside just clicked and I want my dad to experience that feeling of happiness in sobriety. He is wasting away to nothing he is addicted to heroin and methamphetamine. I am reaching out today because I am genuinely afraid that this is what will take him away from us. Please I am begging someone to get back to me about some options of how to help my dad get better.
My oldest brother been on crack cocaine off and on since he graduated high school. He is now in his 50’s. He was born with a hearing and mental disability. My mom was his back bone and always there for him till she got sick and passed away in 2012. He has been downhill since. This is the worst I seen him. He is living in an abandoned home and work just to get crack. He has done so much in the family that no one wants to deal with him. He doesn’t have insurance and need the help. Help. Are there treatment centers that accept someone with little to no money or insurance?
My mother is 48 years old and has been an alcoholic for about 7 or 8 years now. She is in complete and total denial still. Alcoholism runs in our family and she has found justifications throughout the years to make herself feel better. I love my mother and I miss her so very much. She is a very, very mean drunk. She also has an addiction to men. She recently lost custody of my 13 year old sister. I’m afraid that she will die soon, she doesn’t look like my mom. The sober her is a wonderful person and the whole family wants her back. She refuses any kind of treatment or meetings. Drinks and drives. She doesn’t get to see my kids, her grandchildren. We went 2 and a half years without speaking due to the drinking. I am a recovering addict myself and I have to keep myself clean and safe for my kids.. My heart is broken for her and I’m ready to heal. Please help my mom and my family. My mom is a strong person and I know she could overcome this but we aren’t getting anywhere. Just watching her live in the insanity world and my sister is drowning in it too. Please help my family and I get the mom that I once had back. Thank you!

Calling about being on the show
My husband is an alcoholic and he needs help badly
He is losing his family
I was raised by my grandmother, my youngest brother is also being raised by her. I have two other younger brother and a younger sister who are being raised by wonderful adoptive parents. My biological mother has been doing drugs for as long as I’ve lived as far as I’m concerned. I will be 23 in May. She’s also a heavy alcoholic as well. Her choice drug is heroin, but as she says now that she only does crack because it’s not as addictive to her as the heroin. She needs help, and I’m afraid that she’s too far gone and it makes me so sad for her. I don’t know how to help her anymore but my children won’t have grandparents from my side. My heart hurts for her, what can I do? She’s agreed to go to rehab but she’s struggling with actually going and I don’t have the money to put her into rehab and according to her government insurance won’t insure her. What can I do to look into programs that will help fund her getting help? How can I convince her to try harder so one day she can be around us? So we can trust her?
I am not addicted at the moment. But I would give almost anything to get pain-killers and/or anti-anxiety meds. I was sexually assaulted by my father when I was 13-15 years old. I am 66 now. I had no one to tell. Eventually I told my 4 brothers and sisters – partly because I wanted to know if any of them had been assaulted, and partly because I wanted support. I had some support by 2 of them, for about two months. That’s it. Now, both of my parents are deceased. The sexual assault memories never go away. I really, really, really want drugs to get rid of the pain. I don’t/can’t drink alcohol because I can’t stand the taste of it–and I’ve tried them all. Yuk. I hate myself and my life. Since I am 66, maybe I will die soon; I think dying is more likely to happen than for me to get drugs. That’s all. Thanks.
I am 42 years old. I have 2 sons 19 and 13 years old. I had a surgery in February of 2020 and I left the hospital worse than I went in. I have a paralyzed diaphragm and have been on oxygen ever since surgery. I have always enjoyed drinking but it’s gotten more severe the more I sit home and do nothing. I live with my mother who is amazing but she really has no idea how bad it’s gotten. I don’t want to live like this anymore and I admit that I need help.

I have watched this show for years. My parents both passed away due to the long term effects of drug and alcohol addiction. I am now dealing with my son and his opioid addiction. The most difficult part, in my opinion, has been the ridiculous process and money it costs to send him to rehab. It pretty much leaves families in the position of choosing food on the table or life.
I have a friend that needs help. I told her, that I would marry her, so I could get her the help she needed. She left me and I stopped talking to her. I am trying right now, so I can help her. She’s addicted to crack and heroin. She was on methadone
My sister and I used together and got clean together when we found out we were both pregnant at the same time. (Almost 6 years ago.) She now has 3 beautiful babies to whom she was a very good mom too. She has relapsed heavily. She wants help I know she does. The hardest part is getting it. She has reached out to me but I am scared because I know the mentality. I know the cycle. I know the sneakiness and the lack of good judgement. I have my own babies to protect. Please, help me help her! She’s still the same sweet Destiny I know and love. But she is SO LOST. (IV METH, by the way.) She already has Hep C. She’s lost her kids. She has it in her. I know she does. Please, please, please. Help me help her find her way again.
I have been struggling with alcoholism. I’ve lost my kids, my wife a f family. I need help.
I have an ex boyfriend who is the age of 24. I first met him when I was about 12/13 years old. Im currently 24, turning 25 in just 3 months. When I reunited with him after several years of losing contact with each other, he looked like a totally different person, from what I remember him as. He has been a drug addict for about 8 or 9 years now & I have seen him as his ABSOLUTE worst. I started dating him in 2018 & we ended things in 2019. I tried to help him & I tried everything I could to get him off the drugs, but a couple months into our relationship, he dragged me all the way down with him. I lost my car, my job, all of my friends and a decent half of my family. I went to jail for the first time & was bailed out right away, so of course that wasn’t enough. I eventually became homeless with my ex boyfriend due to our addiction. We slept on park benches, concrete ground, & even broke into abandoned houses on nights that it would rain so that we wouldn’t get soaked & sick. I had been to jail twice after that & also overdosed twice as well within the year of me using with him. After being thrown in jail 4 times that year, I finally realized enough was enough. After everything I had lost, everything I had been through, all the sleepless nights, all the tears I shed, etc; I finally told myself I needed to stop. I didn’t want to live like that any longer. That behavior was NEVER me. So, I broke up with my boyfriend because I knew being around him, I would have never gotten better & I would probably be dead at this point. After breaking up with him, I got clean on my own, but he still continued to use. He was still in & out of jail & he had gone through a few overdoses himself, none that I had ever witnessed. I am worried for him & I’m truly scared for him. He is an ex boyfriend, but again, I’ve known him for the past 10 years & I dated him for about a year, on & off so I do still care about his well being & I do not want to see him being buried. He’s truly a great person & he’s got SO much potential, but he doesn’t feel the same way about himself. He feels as though everyone who cares for him, would be better off without him. I DO NOT want to go to his funeral because of drugs. Please help me save his life!
My granddaughter needs help she’s drinking herself to death and has all but lost her two kid’s age 7 and 1 she threatens to kill herself and has took a bottle of blood pressure pills but luckily threw them up her mother my oldest daughter died of the same way in 2015 myself and the family have tried to help her so many times. She says she hears voices and has been to the hospital for it many times. Please Please help us save her life I’m sure she will eventually succeed in killing herself as she has tried multiple times. We love her so much and I can’t go through this again it would kill me please I’m begging for your help
I have a close friend that os addicted to drugs and alcohol. She needs help, she is not or can not help herself
The family and i want help for her
I am an alcoholic that can’t beat the system and inquiring for help. Been an alholic for about 15 years and been to treatment once. For 120 days. Since then relapsed and had to move in with my father Bc I can’t pay my bills or function I am reaching out Bc I have lost my marriage and daughter and want to make it right however I can.
If somebody could call me and let me in the right direction we are a small town and our resources just jump the gun and automatically get the law involved and CPS I recognize that I need help my choice is oxycodone And I have been addicted for about six years but the past three years has gotten horrible I don’t want it no more I don’t want to be on the show I just need some professional in-home care if somebody can contact me I’m out for help
My sister has been abusing painkillers, sleeping pills and benzodiazepines for over 30 years. She gets her own from doctors then spends at least $5000 a month buying them from others.
She constantly nods out, sometimes for 2 hours at a time. Her diet is almost non-existent and she is clearly in the later stages of her addiction having cut ties with anyone who is not part of the pill mill.
We had a very unhealthy relationship and I had to cut ties over 3 years ago but recently my younger brother died of a heroin OD and I phoned her to let her know which opened up the door to our list relationship.
I went to see her the other day (first time in years) and she kept trying to get me to use with her. I made it clear that that was NOT going to happen and she proceeded to get faced. I left there w/ a heavy sadness knowing that she maybe has 2-3 years left at the rate she is going. (She is 57).
She lives with a practicing alcoholic who will never hold her accountable.
I’m at a loss …I want the sister of my youth back but just don’t know if that will happen.
Please let me know if there is anything you can do to help.
Thank u for helping others rise above.
Blessings.
Connie P.

Olá meu nome é Leandro aparecido tenho o vício de cigarro maconha e cocaína sou viciado a mais de 20 anos mais agora estou mau estou pior do que estive perdi o controle da situação uso cocaína todos os dias e quando não uso fico ruim não consigo fazer nada só penso na drogas tenho uma mulher e um filho que moram com migo e sofre com essa situação tentei me matar por três vezes mais o que está me matando é a cocaína c eu não parar posso morrer os médicos falam isso pra mim direito pois já estou fraco meu coração está fraco e tenho uma lesão no cérebro que a qualquer momento pode estourar uma veia.ja fui internado mais não adiantou nada peço ajuda pois o pior não é morrer é ver minha família sofrendo todos os dias pôr meu vícios.
My mother has been and alcoholic and drug addict for as long as I can remember. Due to her using drugs and alcohol she can no longer recognize me or my two other siblings. We’re strangers to our own mother. She’s constantly hallucinating things that aren’t there. She thinks people are after her. She made herself believe that me and my siblings had died. My mom needs help so bad. She began using way more when she lost her youngest child, my sister about four years ago. She hasn’t been the same since. I don’t know where else to go. She needs help, but when it’s offered she refuses. I don’t know if we’re not doing something right or what but something needs to be done before she dies. I want my mom back. I crave that relationship I never got. She’s always hid from her problems whether that’d beer or whatever drug she can get her hands on. She needs someone who doesn’t know her to set her straight. And that someone doesn’t have to know her to realize that she needs help and that she can get better. My mom is so loved. I just want her to love herself. I want her to try to be there for us again.
My dad is 64 years old. He has had a methamphetamine addiction that started roughly 10 years ago. He needs help.. I am scared if he doesn’t get help that he will die. He has severe depression and has gone through many struggles in his life. He started hoarding about the time this addiction started after my mother left him. He has 3 daughters that love him dearly. I want my dad to be there when I have children and when I get married and I’m scared he will not make it if he keeps continuing down this path. He has so many great qualities to him that this addiction is just taking him and swallowing him whole. I want to help him and I want him to be the dad again that I remember when I was younger that I love so much. Please help me help him and my family.
My daughter of the age of 30 has been addicted in small portions of drugs. IT started out with sex,then proceeded into drinking/smoking marajana,which when she finally met her father, it was ok…cocaine/marajana. HER second oldest sister turned her to meth pills(grinded like coke)…to much to text,because it becomes DEEPER!!!!
My Father is 47 years old and is addicted to cocaine. When I see him I just want to cry. No one going on 50 should be like this. He was in a car accident a couple years ago so he has a bad leg. I constantly ask him why does he do cocain why doesn’t he get clean and I never get a straight answer. I want my dad to be as fun and artistic as he used to be when he was younger. I want my older brother to be able to see him and be okay whit who he is instead of being disgusted. He’s been homeless on and off for years. I just really want him to get help.
I have suffered from heroin addiction for almost 20 years now and I’m now homeless and I’m slowly dying from my drug use. I sleep on a sidewalk in Brooklyn NY and have no job and no hope. My family has forgotten me and I feel completely helpless. If anyone can help me pleas contact me via email (johndavidmuschaweck@gmail.com)
My daughter is addicted to opiates her and her boyfriend and they also use meth and they constantly fight over drugs and she knows she needs to stop but she’s just scared to actually take the steps to do it and I can’t watch her keep going down this road. She’s now living with her boyfriend at a friends house and a couple other people live there as well and they all do drugs. It’s not a good or healthy environment at all. She needs help, please help me and help her. She’s my only child and I don’t know what I would do without her. I’m all she has, her father is in prison in another state, she hasn’t seen him since her 4th birthday and my parents have pretty much disowned her even though they raised her since she was a year and half. I cant lose her!

I am losing my best friend to herion and crack she is getting worse and worse every day. Its killing me more and more everyday. I myself have two years clean from crack and honestly I would trade places with her in a heart beat if it meant she would be clean.
I have a very talented friend, who has battled with heroine and meth for quite some time now and it hasn’t gotten any better since his fathers suicide just a few years ago He is on a downward spiral if things don’t change he will die it’s not if it’s when. He is 25 and I know he has a good soul I have watched him grow up for the last 10 years he has a younger brother and I can’t watch him lose a dad and a brother. I was an Addict and have been clean and sober 426 days I know there is light at the end of the tunnel I just want one last chance for this kid.

My name is Mimose, I am actually watching your program and from what I am seeing I said to myself that program could be a life saving to my son.
With that said, I am contacting you for my son Claude who is mentally ill with bipolar, schizophrenic, suicidal, and is addicted to drugs, alcohol, sex, and you name it he is addicted to it including being constantly on the phone.
His father was possessive and abusive to me. I divorced his dad before his first birthday and they never got close because his dad was and still very much judgmental of him and now because of Claude’s problems he told him that you are not my son, and even though the father was not actively involved in his life those words went straight through to my son’s heart.
Me, I love my son and I know he loved me too but at times when he doesn’t get his way he would say harsh words and act aggressively toward me but he never lay his hands on me.
He is very manipulative but I refuse to let him go because I am the only one he has. So his sublimes and others told me that if I don’t stop enabling him he will always depend on me. Which he, himself, told me that “I was not asked to be borne, you are responsible for me for life.”
I need help for him and for myself. I am 70 years old and I am taking care of my 89-year-old mother who has dementia and needs 24/7 assistance. Please help my son so he could live his life independently as well as being a father to his two sons.
As of now, the mother of one of the son would not let him see his child because the Judge said he can not pay child support from his SSI monthly income.
Please Help us🙏

My daughter is 50 years old and has had addiction problems off and on since she was a teenager. She has been in rehab twice and we thought she made it after the last one. However, her husband died and sent her spiraling. She has lost everything and is currently on the street. She will not admit to her meth addiction but has been “fighting” meth mites since September and has been punding for over a year. This has caused so many family issues. Her eldest daughter is an addict and my husband and I adopted this daughters oldest child. This daughter is currently in jail. I do not know what to do anymore. I feel she has reached the end as now she talks about ending her life.
I have 4 kids on heorin and fetinal and meth

I got on this website to seek help for my niece who is killing herself with meth and alcohol but I can’t find a way on the site to sign up for that help.
My 39yr old son has been addicted to Meth and I don’t know what else for many years. He did go through a Rehab Program sometime in 2005-2006 and did well for a while. I don’t know what happened to cause his relapse. I live in the Las Vegas area (retired) and he lives in San Francisco with a brother in Sacramento and a Sister and his Mother in Modesto, CA. He has another sister in Arizona who would be willing to come out to attend an intervention. We all continually tell him the only way to save himself is to check himself into a rehab and live there. He did it once and it worked. Please help us .
i have no idea what exactly my child is using at one time id say meth .. she really horrible hallucinations of people watching her … she had an explotion ended up in Raleigh … she talked her way out of that it was a battery that exploded .. she tried to convince me that someone changed doors in her house hinges and all while she slept. she has two children now they are no longer with her… she is now selling herself to get these drugs.. i think she may be doing heroine now not sure… i can’t get into her area i have no idea what’s going on .. her husband abuses her drags her around beats her while in the same steps uses her to get drugs..she calls police to get help from him but in the same mode doesn’t charge him.. shes lost so much weight she looks ghostly. bruised. horrible sleeps for days when she comes to my home… i don’t know what to do … when confronted she throws out in complete melt down.. f you and the world … i don’t even know if an intervention could be done … we’ve given her all kinds of numbers to seek help offered and taken her to shelters for help she just left the next day .. one of her friends came and got her … she went to hospital with hepititus completely yellow eyes skin the whole nine yards… only to go back to the same things….

My 24 year old daughter has been using for 4 years. She developed endocarditis and Hep C from using Fentanyl. She is a beautiful, talented woman who just wasting away her life. She’s been in and out of detoxes for a couple years, leaving AMA. She has state insurance (because she is “homeless and doesn’t have a job) and the places she’s been to for rehab seem to have failed her.
I’m begging you to please help her and our family who loves her more than she could ever imagine.
My sister has been on meth for about 2 or 3 years now. Her mother is raising her two boys who she hasn’t seen in over a year. She constantly lies about her addiction. My mom found two meth pipes in her car when she went to jail a month ago so that was proof that she was using then. She’s homeless obviously. She has serious mental health issues since she was born. But has never had help. I’m a recovering heroin addict so I can’t be around her to truly help. I just want her to get help and get her family back like I did. Please if you could help us that would be amazing! Thank you.

Iam here today to ask for help with my sister and my mother. My sister tried doing Methadone clinic but wouldn’t fully stay clean from other substance. So then I got her into a suboxon dr for about a month and got a letter she couldn’t pass a single UA so she couldn’t subscribe to Suboxone to her anymore. My mom is in straight denial she’s been using for quite some years now to. My mother and I have never seen Ida I and right now we talk zero to none and maybe I should get clean she could see how beautiful the world really is

My uncle has been addicted for heroin and meth for the last 10 years…my grandmother got locked up the other night because of his action. At this point we are desperate…been to multiple rehabs where he can’t get past the detox stage.
We need help desperately for my brother Raymond, he and most of our family have been addicted to alcohol or some kind of narcotic. Lost my sister to alcohol. She’s was forty five years of age, with five children. Her and Ray have been addicted to heroin for over thirty five years.
That is sad to hear. Hopefully the producers will give you an opportunity.
Hello guys. And Bye.
neversurrenderboys 😉
I am writing to you today as a cry out for help and desperation I have tried everything and nothing can get my son into treatment he lives with his father and gets high with his father he has overdosed more times than I can remember I have gotten to the house to save him just in time so many times I’m so afraid that my son is going to die. I’m hoping you can please contact me to set up an intervention. Thank you
My husband is addicted to cocaine and if he doesn’t seek help not only am I gonna get a divorce but also a restraining order. He can’t do anything for himself or anyone else. He can’t sit down for more than a minute without falling asleep please help us. The only result I see happening is death he looks so bad and has lost so much weight. Nobody wants anything to do with him and I am at the end of my rope so I’m begging 🙏🏽 for help for him
I’m here to ask for help with my mother . I’m 21 years old and I have been begging my mom to please sober up since I was 5 years old . She sobered up for about 3 years and relapsed…. It’s taking her mind over and her appearance . I’d say I need my mom back but I’ve never really had a “ mom. “ my whole life … I just want my kids to have their grandma …. so please I’m begging you !!
I am my fathers oldest of three sons. I have a different mother than my younger brothers. The older of the two has a narcotic addiction and has 6 children under the age of 12. His wife struggles without his help. His love to get high is greater than the love of his kids. He has been shot up with narcan 6 times in the last 9 months.
My younger brother walked in my fathers footsteps and is drinking at least a half gallon of whiskey a day. The mother of his two children left him 7 years ago because drinking with his buddies was more important than being home and being a father and husband. They both need help. Our family is torn apart. We do nothing as a family anymore. Their addictions are ruining the family and our families next generation is suffering without father figures.
My mom. She was a great mom. Most of my childhood. I was 13 when she started using meth. She left behind my brother, sister, and I. She was the best. Now I feel like she died but we didn’t get a funeral. No closure. She uses us for money and rides. She was beautiful. Now frail and a stranger. She will die. I don’t know what else to do. This might be last call for help. Hope is nearly nonexistent.
I’m seeking help for my brother’s mom. She’s been a alcoholic for a long time. Her drinking has caused her to harm my little brother. Who now has brain injuries. It has caused him to need physical therapy, a feeding tube, Botox shots and cast to help him straighten his leg out. Now he’s 8 years old and still eats 8 ounce cans of milk through a bag every 3 hours and he eats baby food. His mother was in jail for a few years and got out. Everything was fine. Once she figured out she was going to be getting off parole she started drinking again. It has been times where she has passed out on porches, & stealing to receive the money to buy alcohol. When she drinks she becomes this person that looks possessed she talks randomly spaces out and talks to the wall she starts fight with people including my father. It has caused a lot of pain and suffering for my family. It has taken a toll on me as well the constant battles my family and I have to go through every single day. She fights with us if she doesn’t get alcohol and when she does get it she does fight with everyone and has blacked out. She has fallen down the stairs, she has assaulted me, my little sister, my father, & her daughter. You can search up the article. Julie keyes youngstown Ohio. She pleaded not guilty to hurting my little brother. Seeking for help she needs intervention to become sober & be the best person/mother that I know she’s capable of being.

my mother has been drinking every since I can remember.She has been drinking since I was five years old. I am 48 years old now. Ive decided to accept what I can not change and what she has decided not to leave alone.It was so bad that when I was young we were always getting evicted and our utilities were always being shut off. My siblings and I always were without meals. The pressure of not eating properly, living in the dark because of shut offs etc. eventually I dropped out of high school in the 11th grade. My mother is 70 years old. I don’t know if its too late, I don’t know if her leaving alcohol alone for good is even possible.Its so sad that my whole life I did not enjoy my mother in a healthy mother daughter relationship. I guess that’s another let down life dealt me. I’m used to it I’ve had very sad experiences in my life.

My family is desperate to save our Mom! She lost her husband, my step father to suicide in March of 2020. Her Mother, my grandma this year in March of 2021. And now her brother, my uncle to suicide just last month October 2021. Ever since my step dad’s unexpected death her life and living situation has went down hill. She can’t even admit she has a problem because she thinks shes got it under control. She also thinks that we’re all against her and that no one cares about her, which is ridiculous. Her health is declining and the family is about to lose the house which she worked so hard to get. Our family which is normally tight knitted is falling apart and e desperately need our Mom back… Please Please Please Help Us Save Her!
I am begging for help. My son is addicted to crack cocaine more then 7 years. He may not survive this year…. He needs an intervention.
My name is Lois Miller, I have a son and daughter that’s addicted to Crack and PCP, they desperately need your help. Please tell me how I can get them into this intervention program. The only insurance they have is Medicaid and Medicare.
If this program requires private pay can you please refer me to a program in Houston that can help us. Thank you, L. Miller 832) 746-6216.
i’m here to ask for help with what may be a lost cause. my former partner and friend (chaotic story) J. is forty years old and an advanced alcoholic. he doesn’t want to stop, or can’t stop. i can’t help but most of my friends are dead and i can”t take another one. evidently he started drinking when sick with lyme disease, which may not have cleared. he has strange neurological symptoms. he comes from pretty serious money and his parents would kill me for writing in, but i wonder if his vanity would make him a willing and possibly eager participant. i also know he’s miserable, does nothing but pound vodka, pass out (often with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth which is how he set our couch on fire the day after i moved out) and vomit, and i’m scared.i think there’s a fair amount that he isn’t saying about whatever is going on with him physically. i really don’t know. i don’t think he’ll ever get better. but what if he could? i’m also an addict and in a low residency program trying to finish school and this is the last year i’m eligible for financial aid so this is a terrible idea. i don’t know.
My brother Steve is 59 years old and has been an alcoholic since he was in his early teens. He is currently living in a dilapidated shed in Michigan and winter is coming. He has been homeless over and over again throughout his life. Steve has a heart of gold and would never take from loved ones to support his habit. My father was an abusive alcoholic and this is where it started for Steve. He had never had any real professional help. I believe he is still savable and definitely worth it. Please consider helping this older man find life for maybe the first time. My name is Robin and thank you for the wonderful work you do.
My son Joshua who is 33 yrs old has a meth addiction. Our family has all tried to help him, he went from being a Truck driver having his own life, to now a convicted felon with multiple felonies and he is killing him self slowly he is 6,1 and weighs 135 lbs, I am his mother and he has been addicted to meth for 7+ years, I’m afraid if he doesn’t get an intervention he won’t make it to 34, he need inpatient care now. Please help me and my family save my son life.
Please Help!
My mother, who is 73 years old, is addicted to Oxycodone.
She doesn’t attend family functions, skips all of her doctors appts (except for pain mgt), doesn’t call her kids or grandkids, and lies in bed all day.
She is extremely unhealthy being diabetic and has heart disease.
Because of her addiction and health status, my parents are in the process of filing for divorce. This is not the life to live at 73 nor the life that her 3 children want for her.
Please Help!

My 26 year old Son is addicted to smoking blues.
I guess is what it’s called.
He was or may still be smoking Heroin and now pills.
He used to be so full of life and had so much energy and he loved to work.
But now all He is focused on is getting high and when where and how He’s going y
to get His next fix.
That’s all He does other that sleep.
I am so afraid that He is going to die and He won’t even acknowledge anything I say about Him getting Help.
I know He hears me but doesn’t listen and He talks about wanting to quit and have a better life but I know that He’s afraid to go through withdrawals and How to get back into a normal life again.
He’s been doing Opiates for several Years and He seems to think that smoking fetinayl isn’t going to hurt or kill Him.
I don’t get through not one single day without worrying about Him.
I am so stressed out every day crying out of fear of losing My Son to Him overdosing.
I’ve already lost Him in every other way.
He is so lost
He can be right in front of Me and I still can’t find My Son cause He is so lost…
My Son needs a good treatment and after care place to go for help.
You can reach Me on My cell
(253)392-8827.
We live in Buckley, WA…

I have three four uncles all addicted to crack cocaine and alcohol. My step grandfather had a little to do with there addiction. My step grandfather has passed from his addiction. One of my uncles overdosed at the beginning of the year and has passed. On the same day of his passing two of my other uncles also overdosed and had a hospital stay. While all this is going on they are all stressing my grandmother out… stealing out of her purse, living with her, she has been evicted in the pass because of the things they do. It’s so much more to this story it’s crazy
Need help for myself
My brother has been addicted to meth for…honestly I don’t know how long. Our family has completely given up on him and I don’t think that’s right. They honestly never really was there for him and I think he’s crying out for the attention he never got. I’m only his little sister so I can’t really give him the attention he needs. He used to do cocaine and smoke weed and I believe it was controlled. I was too young but one night when he got into a car accident and it killed his fiance and had to go to prison for several years he turned to meth and has been hooked ever since. I don’t think he’s properly grieved. He blames hisself and I believe just wants to stay high so he doesn’t have to think about how he lost her and let himself lose his son as well. His girlfriend is no help either. She has a very bad nasty temper and a bad attitude towards how he is unless it helps her in some way. Their kids are effected daily. The family is so bad that they will gossip behind their backs but smile in their faces when they’re around. Their solution is just yelling at him and telling how big of a peice of crappy he is. I am guilty of not being there until recently when I realized that he needs someone and I won’t take part in not being there for him. I refuse to let him be alone anywhere near my home or give him money but I’ll be there cause somewhere in him is still my best friend. I believe he can still beat this addiction. I just want to help him.
Im a young girl who hasn’t seen my aunt in years. We don’t contact her often, so we don’t know exactly what drugs she’s addicted to, but she definitely is. She smokes, drinks, the whole 9. I want nothing more than for her to be the aunt who spoiled us and bought us candies and loved us again. She’s bipolar and has other mental disorders, and she’s cruel to us all. She reaches out to my grandma when she’s bored and will either cuss her out or ask for money. She hasn’t been a pleasant person in years. I’ve talked about staging an intervention with my mom, but my mom believes that her mental disorders are too much and we will just make things worse. She even killed her dog from second hand smoking. She’s about 50, my mom is 45. My grandma gets verbally abused on the daily. Her name is Robin, she lives in Colorado Springs (last i checked), and we’re in Utah. It definitely is hard to contact her due to distance, but we mostly don’t talk to her because of her problems. Not sure if this is even a good idea, but i’d love my Auntie Robin to be the same again.
Thank you so much, Maddie S.

I need help for my son. He is 42 years old. He is on drugs. The last 8 years he has pushed everyone he loved away, except for girlfriend. His two daughters have “daddy issues”, they are 20 and 18 years old. They love him, but don’t want to be around him. He has stolen almost everything he can from his grandmother (my mother) he can and sales it. The last thing has been her tv she has enabled him all his life, now he is getting “more” abuse towards her. He needs help with his drug addiction or he will be dead soon.
hi my husband and I need help for our son Giovanni Piña my father supported his habit until he passed Dec of 2021 my father alienated Gio from us my husband is transgender but at the time back in 2014 he saw him as an abomination what we had was bad and unnatural we’ve been happily married since 2015 our other child is gender fluid and their name is Alexander Sky family.calls them Sky but to friends they’re known as Alex my father caused a lot of pain and anguish helping our son slip deeper and deeper into his addiction we had to kick him out at the age of 18 but didn’t help we wanted him to hit rock bottom but it would never happen while my father was alive and supporting his behavior please help us he’s going on 8 years of being lost in that horrible haze
My husband has been addicted to heroine since 2009 !! It has truly destroyed him and everyone in the family if he doesn’t get help he will die from this disease!!
My family member is now 27 and has been using meth for 12 years and has been shooting it up for the past 6 he’s lost his wife who is also addicted to meth now. They both lost rights to both of there children his son and daughter have been adopted off to someone on his step moms side of the family he’s not allowed any communication with them and he beats himself up over that to the point I’m not sure if there’s help for him. He needs help! there is so much more to be said about his story and I know that if he just had one shot or one person who’s able to offer him real help that he would take it and it would help so many others in his same shoes find hope! Please I’m begging you guys for help. How do I go about getting him on intervention. He’s got so much potential to help this world. Like I said earlier I haven’t even scratched the surface of this guys story on here he’s really never had a chance from the beginning of his life please someone give him this chance please!
At what point in time do you ask the person involved, why they are drinking or doing drugs? Stopping drinking or doing drugs is not solving the problem that caused the so called issue.
please I am writing for someone to contact me regarding my sister. she is addicted to shooting up meth and smoking fentanyl. I don’t want to get into more details of this situation through a comment I would really appreciate someone contact me please I’m begging!

My spouse’s sister has been using for three years. She is 32, tall, weighs less than 100 pounds. A mix of meth and Fetanyl are her choices of drugs. She has not had a job in three years. She has taken a couple jobs but they wouldn’t last because she won’t show up regularly to work. She sleeps for up to sixteen hours on some days during the week. She drains her mother, my mother n law, of her finances. Has bouts where she becomes verbally/physically aggressive. Because of her life choices, she constantly gets attention from my spouses mom by worrying her to pieces while he and his sibling have to witness this. It’s a never ending cycle. She is beautiful and has a lot of potential, but continues to use, even while she has a six year old son. Please help.
I struggle with alcohol addiction and I wish I could get off of it but there’s no way that’s happening
This is very new territory for me so I’m just going to say it… my boyfriend of 7 years is addicted to Fentanyl. Not only that but he drinks two bottles of alcohol a day he does uppers as well and even crush is there a Xanax and actually mixes it with the Fentanyl. He is 27 years old we both are. We share a beautiful two-year-old daughter together and growing up without my father is something that I do not want for mine no one does. He’s had a problem with drugs and alcohol for a long time and he’s pushed away all of his family and friends because of it. Our relationship is extremely difficult because it’s hard feeling like people don’t wanna hang out with me because they know what he does or they are worried about our daughter that I take great care of I just so desperately want her to have her dad. He is such a great father and looking at him you wouldn’t even think that he does drugs. He’s a functioning addict and unfortunately that’s the most scariest thing because not everyone knows unless they know… he owns his own landscaping business that he is allowing to fail which is causing financial problems for me and my daughter. I pay for all of the utilities all the food on the table and I take full-time care of our daughter. I even pay towards the rent. I’m not sure if this will ever reach anyone or if someone has it worse but what I do know is that I’m begging for help and reaching out in hopes that he can have a future… a sober one. He has lost multiple friends to the same drug very close ones and I know that it’s affected him very deeply and I know that if he had the opportunity that he would take it he talks about getting help all the time I just don’t want him to end up 50 years old alone on the side of the road or in a morgue…. For my daughter sake please I beg you. Help us.
My mom is addicted to alcohol (wine). She is a widow of 7 years this year. She has drank my entire life along with having horrible health conditions due to alcohol. My fiancé and I recently moved in with her until we find a place of our own again. She resents me for everything including my past addiction problems (I’ve been clean for 5 years). She verbally, mentally and emotionally attacks/abuses me and tries to use my fiancé as her drinking buddy. She weighs 70lbs and I believe she has major health problems that she keeps secret. She refuses to go to a doctor. I’ve tried multiple ways to get her to get help and she refuses. She believes she doesn’t have a problem because it is only wine she drinks (she thinks it’s classy and people who drink liquor are the ones that have a problem). I don’t want to lose my last family member or my last parent. I fear that I will wake up in the morning and she just won’t wake up anymore.

Wow. Jon. The wonderful, amazing man(Fr Jack Kearney) died just 3 years ago. Actually it’s why I am here right now. I just miss him ever so much. Love him so much. I am a psychotherapist, but not an interventionist. I wrote to one woman above whose story broke my heart too. Yours too.
I recommended she contact CAADE in Lakewood at Clark/Candlewood. They certify drug/alcohol counselors. I used to teach people to be counselors. I helped people become interventionists. I’m simply not one. CAADE could probably help with that. Not certain, but they may have a specialty certification in this field as well. It truly is a specialty. And the manner in which Fr Jack performed them was miraculous. I do not wish to make any assumptions here, but should you need some support (talk therapy) feel free to reach out by email, below. FYI, I am retired and no longer licensed. Not because I’m too old or feeble. It’s because a few years ago I started having seizures and simply couldn’t be relied upon. An unreliable therapist is no bueno. (I no longer have seizures)
So, all the best. The offer stands. And I’ll be praying for you and your family, Jon.
Hi…. ummmm idk if I should even be here but been binge watching intervention for an episode my family can relate too…. so I can show my mom…so she can make sense of where she is on life right now with my sister. She hides it so well we don’t know what she is on….. we think (my dad, her kids dad, and myself) think the main choice is crack but she has always been known to pop pills. Nevertheless my main focus of this is my mother naivety…. this alone is the stepping stone to my sisters advantage but really her ultimate downfall. There is just too much to sit here and write but I need help. My family needs help. She has 4 little boys (only 1 she still somehow holds custody too), she has a mother and a father she is running into the grave, siblings all too scared to confront her because we know she will run, nieces and nephews who can never truly know who she is because she had been here for 20 years atleast. Please help my family intervention!!!
my 30 year old daughter worked so hard to get clean 7 years ago. I had lived there off and on. she got her son back 6 years ago. I’ve lost my dad in the past few months and her out doing drugs and overdosing. we have temporary custody of her son. she’s already lo st. her oldest son. she used to be a crack addict and the father to my 7-year-old grandson started bringing cocaine home boy. I let his butt up and he said well it’s not crack I said. what do you think crack is made out of but now she’s into fentanyl crack heroin I’m already on oxygen. I’ve got my mom I’m moving in with to take care of Hershey’s and hospital bed. we really need your help. we took her to hours away to rehab and it was too easy for her to up and leave. you know I’ve had 35 surgeries and my life. I didn’t like to take pain pills. I eventually had to and by the time I realized it the doctors had me addicted to pain medications but she dates all these older men that she acts like she didn’t have a dad there. I please beg you to help us. I want my little girl back. my grandson blames himself thinks he did something wrong. he wants his mommy back
Honey, I’m sorry to tell you but Fr Jack died 3 years ago. He trained many people, however It doesn’t appear that anybody monitors this site. I’ve been missing him terribly, which is why I came on here. It’s just past the anniversary of his death. Aug 21st.
My recommendation is to phone the CAADE office in Lakewood. I feel certain they can point you in the right direction. My name is Carol Doll. I used to work with Jack and CAADE. I am also a psychotherapist. And with junkies for over 20 years. Love them. I have worked on interventions but I am not one. So, I wouldn’t offer my services there. Sorry. All the best to you, my dear. My heart hurts for you. 💔
Please help me. I lost my dad 8 months ago. I’m on oxygen. I had COVID three times and it did something pretty bad to my heart and lungs. My daughter had got clean and worked hard to stay clean and then the last two years we had seen it difference her and her 7-year-old child which was five at the time when they moved in. she was gone all the time. we did have to go get emergency to custody. she is doing meth fentanyl heroin crack and we have tried everything with losing my dad and then my daughter doing all this. the family has tried and tried to get through to her. she went to rehab last month. lasted four days because it was so close to home. she just signed herself out and left. I don’t want to lose my baby. she’s 30 years old. her son is so messed up from them doing the drugs in front of her and now she’s blaming us for taking her son from her and she’s very upset because we won’t let her see him. she’s had a few men and her life that is really messed with her head. really bad. the one guy forced himself on her and she got worse. after that I beg of you to please please consider helping my daughter. we don’t know what to do anymore. we’ve already cut her off from the family. I love my daughter with everything I have but I just don’t like the person she has became. so please consider helping my daughter. we’re not the kind of people that have money that can send her to a nice rehab and she does have a criminal case coming up because of overdosing and a shell gas station. the drugs was on the driver’s side but she took credit for those when the driver is on probation for drugs. he should have gotten in trouble too but he did not. I beg you please. I pray every night but somebody will help us. I don’t know how much more I can take.
I have a brother who is addicted to Fentanyl, meth and possibly coke. He is 30. And had been to rehab and beat a meth addiction years ago. He has lost a life with his kids. they’ve been through trauma. he has had many overdoses and will not call or arrive to family events because of everything. My biggest fear is hearing he is dead because he had Noone to rush him to the hospital to be narcanned. The last overdose he began to size after narcanned by a doctor. I really want him to get the help he needs for his kids and himself.
My son Chris and his wife are both IV drug users. I have their 2 daughters and have had them pretty much since birth, Karlie just turned 7 and Emma is 5. I am at a loss They need help. My son had overdosed multiple times and his wife Ashley has been in the hospital a few times in septic shock from using. They are killing themselves and me for that matter. Please please help my family before it is too late. i am so tired of this roller coaster ride
I have a Nephew that is struggling with alcoholism He is 33 and has been told he only has 6-8 months to live if he doesn’t stop drinking. He needs help now, we’re desperate.
My dad has been addicted to meth for going on 6 years now, but he has done drugs his whole life. First, he was addicted to crack cocaine, then started smoking marijuana and became an alcoholic. He still used crack cocaine and slowly began to meth. He’s also done heroin before. I am 23 years old now, my brother is 21 and we were placed in foster care at 11 and 9 years old. That’s when his addiction gotten worse. Me and my brother aged out because neither parent regained custody of us. I just recently let my dad come and stay at my house. He was in bad withdrawals, opened up and talked to me more than he ever has. I’ve never seen someone so sick. He’s maybe 100lbs now, compared to being 205lbs when I was little. He told me he doesn’t want the drug but his body needs to because he’s sick as a dog if he doesn’t have a fix. My heart is breaking because he knows he’s killing himself but he has no care in the world but meth. He had a very rough childhood and began using at an early age. He’s 41 years old now and homeless. I would like to do an intervention and try to get him some help since no one has ever offered it to him. My whole family has enabled him, including myself. We would also like help to be able to cope with this addiction ourselves having to see him go through this. As well as be able to stop enabling him. Thank you..

welcome to the world of addiction. this is why i am not clean. i desperately want help but unless you’re rich, good luck finding any good help or literally any help at all.

PLEASE HELP MY MOM BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!!! My mother is addicted to meth and other substances that she won’t discuss. She has overdosed several times, she has lost everything she has numerous times, she has rolled her car from nodding off at the wheel and she has several medical issues that are from both her addiction and things she was born with. I am afraid she is going to die. She has a wonderful support system that loves her so much, we have a huge family that wants nothing but the best for her. My mom was clean for 15 years and she loved and cherished her sobriety and for that, I know she can do it again. She is deep into addiction and homelessness. So deep that I’m afraid an intervention will be our last chance. She has grandkids to see grow up. She’s supposed to give me away at my wedding next year. Please please PLEASE, help us. My family and I will be praying to hear back from you… thank you.
My husband is an alcoholic who is morbidly overweight. We were separated for ten years and just recently decided to work on our marriage. I had some serious health issues in August and had to totally depend on him. It is so scary because not only does he drink he gambles and over eats which made him overweight. Currently he is over 500 pounds. He cannot take care of himself. He does have a job and he drives a taxi. We both overcame a nasty drug addiction before. He has not gone back to his drug of choice which is cocaine ,but his drinking is 100% out of control. We fight when he drinks. I will admit that the majority of the beer he gets I have to buy for him.If I don”t he will do nothing but fight with me. He will put me down, call me names or make me mad enough that I want to buy it just to shut him up. Not to mention he will have other drivers that work with him buy it for him. None of our seven grandchildren have seen him sober after work. I myself have been clean for almost ten years , I have given just about everything I have to be with him again.His drinking is starting to make me second guess my decision to be with him. If he doesn’t get help I will walk away for good, we have been together for over 30 years………. PLEASE HELP US
I am needing help. I think I am dieing. my body is shutting down. I smoke marijuana and I drink hard alcohol. I am hurting everyone around me and I can’t keep living a life like this. If you can help me with phone numbers or support groups or maybe help me in the right directions I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you for listening and your support. I know I can do this again. I am on a limited income so I need resources to help with this. I live in Los Angeles. THANK YOU SO MUCH
Hi. I desperately need help with my youngest son who is 28. He’s been addicted to alcohol since 23 years of age. He’s overcome some substance abuse but his alcoholism is tearing our family apart. He last on December 3 rd 2024 attacked his stepfather in his own house. He had become so violent and we have lost the Randall we once knew. I wait on phone calls during the night because there’s always a problem with him. Please please help us get our son, brother uncle back! We live in Alabama.

PLEASE HELP😭
I am seeking immediate assistance regarding my husband’s methamphetamine addiction. His behavior has become aggressive and dangerous, culminating in a serious incident last week.
I believe he needs professional help through rehab or detox. Any guidance or resources you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
