Few things can damage relationships and lives like drug addiction. Many families choose intervention as a type of wake-up call for the addicted. Some families feel that their addicted loved one will respond better if they know their progress or lack thereof will be shown on TV. Intervention is a reality program on the AE network that provides help to addicts in need and assists families in intervening in their loved one's recovery.
Instructions
1. Go to the AE Intervention website. It can be found at http://www.aetv.com/intervention.
2. Scroll down the page to find and click the box which is labeled, Participate.
3. Fill out the form provided, fully and completely, following all directions given. The producers of the program need to know as much about the situation as they possibly can, so they can determine the best way to approach the situation for optimal success. This form also serves as a contract, so read it through very carefully.
4. Submit the form to the producers by clicking the Submit button. The producers will review your loved one's case and if your story suits their qualifications, they may contact you for further interviews and information.
Tips Warnings
Be as thorough as you can in the application without rambling. The story should be to-the-point, including all necessary details.
Stick to the facts, rather than emotionally charged accusations. If your addicted loved one is damaging you emotionally, state that as a fact. Remember, this is a program about your loved one, not you.
Be discrete in what contact information you provide. If the addicted person has access to the phone number you provide, it will most likely damage the outcome. An intervention must be completely unexpected for it to have a desirable outcome.
This process may be relatively lengthy. If your addicted loved one is exhibiting behavior that constitutes emergency action, contact the appropriate local facilities rather than applying to the show.
