Intervention is an American television reality show dealing with the struggles faced by many different kinds of addicts. Each episode follows one or two participants, each of whom has a substance dependence or other mentally and/or physically damaging problem. The subjects believe they are being filmed for a documentary on their problem, but their situations are actually being documented in anticipation of an intervention by family and/or friends. During the intervention, each participant is given an ultimatum: go into rehabilitation immediately, or risk losing contact, income, or other privileges from the loved ones who instigated the intervention. Often, other tactics are used to persuade the addicted person into treatment, which vary depending on the situation; some of these include threats to invoke outstanding arrest warrants, applying for custody of the addict's children, foreclosing on the addict's property, and break-up of marriages or other relationships. The producers usually follow up months later to monitor the addicted person's progress and film it for "follow-up" episodes of the series or for shorter "web updates" available on the show's website.
Corinne, 30, met Joey, 36, while she was babysitting his 3 kids from a previous relationship and it was love and drugs at first sight. On their second date they smoked meth together and 3-years later their lives in Northern California are spent scrounging together money for meth, smoking whatever they can get their hands on, and professing their undying love for one another. Their troubled relationships with their loved ones and estrangement from their kids leave little prospects for a better life unless they can get clean. Their families want them to get better but worry that their relationship is more harmful than good. This intervention could be their last chance. (Interventionists: Amanda Marino and Zach Livingston.)

Now hopelessly addicted to fentanyl, she struggles to survive in the streets while her children live in fear that the next time they see her will be at the local morgue. (Interventionist: Geri Bemister.)

Once a couple of bright kids with decent futures ahead of them, hard circumstances and family loss have derailed them. Now both sad echoes of their former selves, they enable one another's reckless use of fentanyl and crystal meth in a heart-breaking, life-threatening way that has consumed nearly half their young lives. Today, both their families are stepping in to offer them a last chance at survival. (Interventionist: Maureen Brine.)
Golden child Tristan excelled at academics and the arts, winning scholarships and lead parts in theatre productions. But beneath the "perfect kid" exterior, he carried the trauma of domestic abuse witnessed at home while also struggling with identity as a gay, mixed race, young man. After a sexual assault at university, he spiraled into severe alcoholism. Now his liver is failing, and revolving trips to the emergency room have his family fearing for his life. (Interventionist: Maureen Brine.)
