[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 166461, member: 1157"] For an intervention to work, the family has to follow through with their threats of cutting off everything. Honestly, Stands, based on the difficulty you are having saying "no" to your son, and sticking to your guns, I'm not sure an intervention would do much good. Let go of this. It doesn't make any difference now. Move on. I do think the show does a pretty good job of balancing the addicts who get clean with the addicts that don't, and with follow-up. "Pretty good" because it is, after all, about the ratings when it comes right down to it, and people would rather see a "happy" ending than not. Overall, though, I think it's a real eye opener. Maybe more so for the viewers who are families of addicts, than for the viewers who are addicts themselves. [/QUOTE]
