Most HelpfulIntervention is an actual reality show. That is, it's about actual lives and isn't scripted. At first when it was advertised, I was afraid that it might make it seem like all you have to do is get the family together and the addict recovers. No.
First of all, for the most part, the addicts don't realize...

Most HelpfulI love fun reality shows but I also really enjoy watching shows that are real and come from the heart. One show that I often find myself weeping while watching is Intervention on the A&E channel. It is amazing to see the lows that people reach and the lengths that families will go to get their loved ones who are addicted to drugs and alcohol into rehab and back into the real world of the living. By far, the most riveting aspect of the show is the intervention and the follow up.
The Show
This show focuses on people with addictions that are so out of control that their families and friends feel they...
review »When I first heard about Intervention, I thought it was a sick idea: film an addict as he or she undergoes an intervention. How freaking tacky!
And then I watched. The show isn't tacky, at all. In fact, it's really well-made, with the docoumentarians never intervening (except in one case, where the subject seemed to be teetering on suicidal behaviour.) Each episode starts by introducing one or two people, eachof whom had an addictionof some sort. The subjects might be drug addicts or alcoholics, but they may also be people with eating dosorders or gambling problems, etc. There is no interviewer...
review »I absolutely love the show Intervention!!!!!! I tape all the episodes and watch them usually after the kids have gone to bed so I can hear it all_LOL!! Every episode is different.....may be the same problem as before but it's interesting to see how it affects each family. I feel sorry for some of the people while the others I just want to slap and tell them to wake up! If you ever feel like your life sucks, just watch an episode to see what others are going thru and it will make your life seem wonderful. I always like to see the very end where it shows where the person is today and how...
review »I have watched several episodes of the show Intervention and it amazes me to see that people are so addicted to things that they are on the brink of death and seem to enjoy being that way. I can't believe the way the addicted people look and they way that they live. It is scary to see people in those kinds of situations. And some of them end up not wanting any help. And then others try to get the hel and eventually end up right back into their addiction. It is a very interestng show to watch.
I like this series, due to the fact that they are trying to stop all of these people from being drunks and drug addicts. I personally do not see the draw that drugs and alcohol have......I just believe that being emotionally strong should be enough.
