WHAT IS INTERVENTION THE TV SHOW?
INTERVENTION is a documentary TV series. Each show spends several days profiling someone struggling with addiction and culminates in a professional intervention, led by an experienced interventionist. The family and friends of the person battling the addiction are intimately involved in the intervention. At the end of the intervention, if the person with the addiction chooses to go to treatment, they will enter a top-notch treatment facility free of charge.
Our goal is to get help for people who are suffering while informing and educating our audience about the day to day realities of living with addiction.
WHO IS MAKING INTERVENTION?

WHAT IS AN INTERVENTION?
"An intervention is [an] attempt by family members and friends to help a ... person get help for his/her problem. These interventions are usually successful and individuals often go into...[a] treatment program .... The purpose of an intervention is to get [an addicted person] out of denial and show them the ways in which their disease is affecting the people they love the most. With the help of an intervention specialist and loved ones, the intervention process does not have to be painful, but can be the beginning of a new way of living for all those involved."
DOES MY FRIEND/FAMILY MEMBER NEED TO BE READY TO GET HELP FOR THE INTERVENTION TO WORK?
"The straight answer to this question is no, the abuser does not have to be willing to get help, however successful interventions occur when there have been significant repercussions as a result of the person's...using. These events and occurrences can be used to show the ...person the ways in which life has become unmanageable."
