Intervention

Last night I was really tired and layed down on my couch to watch the show Intervention. I like this show because it is interesting to observe someone's life throughout the course of a few weeks and then see how they respond to the idea of going to intervention. Also I like to see if they ended up quitting their addiction after coming back from their intervention camp or if they ended up relapsing. Last night was about a girl named Haylee who became addicted to "speedballing", which is mixing cocaine and heroin. When she was young she was an amazing violinist ranked top 3 in her state. After a while, though she started doing drugs and quit playing the violin. In this TV show, she spent $150 every day just to feed her addiction. Her mom was also messed up and was annorexic and would exercise 6 hours a day. At the end of the show Haylee's family offered Haylee intervention. Haylee ended up going but relapsed several times afterwards.
