Riveting real-life television, Intervention explores the lives of people dependent on drugs, alcohol, or other destructive behaviors and the people who intervene to save them. This episode examines the life of Laurie. Once a psychotherapist and mother of 3, her addiction to painkillers and alcohol has caused her to lose her job, family, and health. Jessica had once wanted to become a doctor, but bulimia has ruined her dream. She now eats obsessively and purges several times a day, secretly working as a stripper to support herself.
