Interventions is the American documentary series aired on March 6, 2005 at A & amp; E. It follows one/two participants (s), who are dependent or addicted, documented in anticipation of intervention by family and/or friend. During the intervention, each participant is given an ultimatum: immediately undergoing rehabilitation, or loss of contact, income, or other privileges from a loved one that triggers the intervention. Manufacturers usually follow up later to monitor the development of addicted people and film them for the "follow-up" episode of the series or for the shorter "web updates" available on the event's website.
On May 24, 2013, A & amp; E announced that they had concluded the series, with the remaining episodes to begin airing in June 2013. The final episode of the lineup aired on July 18, 2013 and concludes with reflections from past addicts and manufacturers thanks to the interventionists, family members, care centers, and addicts themselves. On 5 August 2014, however, LMN announced the revival of the series with its inaugural new season in 2015. A & amp; E reveals the return of the show on January 13, 2015, and airs a special episode behind the scenes - giving viewers the first-hand account of the filming process by the production crew, as well as updates from former addicts - and the 14th Season's premiere on March 22, 2015.
Part 1 of season 14 ends on May 10, 2015. Ten additional episodes aired July 26, 2015.
Video Intervention (TV series)
Ikhtisar
The show follows one or two participants who are substance-dependent or have severe addiction. They were filmed for a period of time until intervention was done with an interventionist, where they were often arrested using drugs, alcohol, or substances they were abusive. Relatives, friends and closed people are interviewed by the producer, with certain parts interacting with the event footage. Interventions are often practiced or prepared before the time an addict enters. Once started, they are given an ultimatum: Either they are undergoing a 90-day maintenance plan, all fees-paid at a rehab facility, or the risk of losing contact, income or privileges from their relatives, friends and close friends.
As in real life, some addicts have come out even though almost all have received treatment. In 2012, only four addicts have completely refused: Alissa in Season 1, Marquel in Season 8, Adam in Season 9, and Larry in Season 11. The fifth man, Sean in Season 12, agrees to leave but is redeemed during the trip. In addition, Betsy in Season 2 received treatment, as long as her boyfriend could go too. During a stopover in Chicago, both decided to go home and try to come to their senses. However, Betsy went to medical treatment after his family defended their defenses. A number of addicts who initially agreed to have left treatment earlier due to a breach of rules, behavior problems or a desire not to attend. Some junkies who leave early go to jail or enter other facilities to continue treatment; others never complete the rehabilitation process, with the majority of people relapsing and resuming their old habits.
Sometimes, during an episode, the suffering of other addicts in the addict circle becomes clear, and the show often creates additional plans to help other addicts find treatments as well. These secondary interventions, like the main ones, have diverse record of success and failure. In addition, secondary junkies sometimes promise to seek care for primary care, only to retreat after primary departure (eg Paul, OxyContin Ryan's stepfather's stepfather from Season 3, informs Ryan that he intends to seek help for drinking problems, but then retreated from going to his own rehabilitation, even though he stopped drinking independently).
In situations where the circle has become codependent, or otherwise traumatized by the behavior of the addict, interventionists usually suggest that the whole seek counseling to enable them to proceed. This has led to several successful family reunions (Coley, a serious drug addict, cleansed when his family is through counseling, and his marriage to Francine's wife is rescued by intervention) and the disbanding of the relationship (Leslie, an alcoholic suburban housewife, through rehabilitation who was ordered by the court while his family received counseling at the Betty Ford Clinic, after both treatment programs ended, Leslie and her husband settled their divorce). Some families will promise to attend counseling to convince addicts to receive treatment, just for reassurance thereafter (example: Amber Alcoholic Bulimic from Season 9 agrees to go to rehabilitation only if the whole family signs a contract to attend the Betty Ford Clinic family counseling program; signed a contract in front of him, no one followed after he went to the treatment center).
Each episode ends with a series of black screens (white in season 13), where the text discusses addicts and their progress since the intervention (including a quiet date, if known), followed by a website link that invites viewers to find out more information about addiction and recovery. The white screen is updated with new information every time the show goes live on A & amp; E, and some video updates are available on the event's website. Sometimes, updates documinate outreach to addicts from fans. Updates to follow-up episodes of Brooks and Ian brothers re-aired in early 2008 indicate that Brooks had met and married a fan in 2007. At the end of the original episode featuring alcohol banker and Jacob's combat bar, he stated that he planned to register in college for the upcoming semester; a black screen update for episodes aired in early 2008 showed that a fan had contacted the producers after the show and offered to pay Jacob's tuition fees.
Sometimes, the addict becomes suspicious that he or she is being set up for intervention, having watched the previous show, or acknowledging one of the interventionists shown on sight after being taken to the last meeting place.
In conjunction with an intervention involving addicts where a sudden withdrawal is dangerous, a nurse accompanies them to a rehabilitation center, providing medical assistance to the addict. Patients with addictions that can cause serious risks to their health after the termination of substance abuse usually spend time in a detox facility before entering rehabilitation.

- Sylvia Parsons: An alcoholic who is the subject of Season 2 episode. She becomes a certified interventionist after achieving calm, and joins players in Season 14.
Sometimes, other therapists have made appearances to offset the workload among the regular customers:
- Tara Fields, PhD, M.F.T.: Also a marriage therapist and a licensed family. In Season 1 he becomes an interventionist for Vanessa (episode 1), Christine (episode 9) and in Season 2 for Howard (episode 16), Heidi (episode 18) and Gina (episode 25).

Jeff VanVonderen took a sabbatical in Season 5 after admitting during a special episode of "Intervention: After-Treatment Special" that he relapsed with alcohol. He's back in Season 6 and has stayed with the series ever since.
Ken Seeley left the series after completing the intervention for Linda in Season 8 to focus on his personal intervention service, Intervention-911. He returned to intervene for Al, a crystal addict/painkiller/cannabis addict, in Season 13, and returned to the series in Season 14.

Criticism
Matthew Gilbert (The Boston Globe), an event critic, argues that the program is exploitative and displays individuals as they destroy themselves. He also argues that confrontation in intervention is only exemplified to show the most dramatic moments and that the final outcome of subsequent interventions and rehabilitation is polished.
Melanie McFarland, another television critic, also lamented that the show did little to contribute to successful intervention and instead deceived the subjects of each episode to film them at their lowest point.
Spinoff
During spring 2011, A & amp; E aired the series Relapse , which lasted for five episodes. Each episode focuses on the work of a conscious coach with an old addict who can not clean himself despite repeated attempts at treatment.

In popular culture
In 2012, Funny or Die has featured two parodies of Intervention . One of the first parodies of Intervention appeared everywhere, a brief "Kristin Chenoweth" Intervention with Kristin Chenoweth ", released August 27, 2008. This video shows Chenoweth delivering crystal shabu-crystallized Broadway-style cheerleading intervention junkies Recently, in April 2011, another satire Intervention debuted on the site, this one titled "Intervention Intervention ", featuring Fred Armisen playing an addicted man television show Intervention .
Toronto-based TV station CFTO-TV created a series of parodies in early 2009 starring local personality personality Dave Devall. Devall will act as an "assistant" for families in need of a "family" for poorly dressed family members for Canada's winter as part of an advertisement for the station's news event. These ads aired almost a year before the first A & E episode was produced from Intervention taken in Canada and featured Canadian addicts debuting on Television Canada.
On April 16, 2010, a video entitled "Best Cry Ever" was posted on YouTube's popular video-sharing site, featuring clips from Season 7's "Rocky" episode, which tells the story of former professional boxer Rocky Lockridge, who lost everything. , including contact with his sons, to drugs. The center clips around a dramatic scene where Rocky is seen crying among his brothers. By January 2013, the original video has reached over 48 million views and has become an Internet phenomenon. The Saturday Night Live sketch shows a parody of Intervention with guest host Jon Hamm crying in the same way. The premiere episode of season 3 of The Cleveland Show also parodied "Best Cry Ever", when Cleveland broke down after his old friend Peter confessed that he still cares for him; this got the attention of Cleveland friends and the Evil Monkey.
The April 28, 2010 episode of the TV series South Park parodied the show by filming a documentary Intervention on the Towelie character in the episode "Crippled Summer". This episode includes a text block on the screen to provide subtext or detail, and culminates in scenes where children face Towelie about drug addiction. The counselors insist, as is often the case with real-life interventionists, that all parties are permitted to "say whatever they need to say" to each other during the actual intervention, which causes Cartman to endlessly harass Kyle with humiliation and ethnic/religious racial/.
The 3 season episode of the HBO True Blood television show contains segments with Hoyt's mother trying to interfere in Hoyt's relationship with the newborn Jessica vampire. Hoyt's mother appeared at her workplace with Summer inning (which she believes Hoyt should be dating, not a newborn), along with a local school counselor. Hoyt says he has work to do and does not have time to speak, but the counselor, acts as an "interventionist", stops Hoyt from leaving, parodies the opening line of traditional Jeff VanVonderen intervention ("I am here for the real people loves you like crazy, and wants you to hear it, then you can say what you want to say "). The characters then read their letters aloud, all of which are open with "Dear Hoyt" (similar to the letters that families typically write to their loved ones as part of the interventions described in the Interventions).
In the 30th episode of Rock "Queen of Jordan", which subtly parodies some reality TV shows, Jenna tries to get more time on screen for herself in reality show Angie by convincing Pete to intervene for her alcohol, even though she is not an alcoholic.. Pete tries to teach him a lesson by arranging for him to be brought into rehab; knowing that he would not be shown in front of the camera if he was away from the show, Jenna tapped her unconsciously pointed guard and fled back to Angie's party.
In a skit play of an episode of Tosh.0 first aired October 18, 2011, host of Daniel Tosh changed the normal "Web Redemption" segment (where a person or group that appears on the internet is notoriously bad or embarrassing video given the opportunity to explain themselves through interviews/recreational events) became "intervention" for a man named Tim Wisconsin, whose videotape journey on the shrooms turned into a YouTube sensation. Tosh reveals the redemption segment is really an "intervention" about 2/3 of the way when he lured Tim to leave the room with him with pretense of going to see "Lady Antebellum laser light show"; when they opened the door to leave the interview room, Tim found them in a small hotel conference room, where Tim's "family and friends" gathered around him. Tosh uses the trademark intro Jeff VanVentenen ("These guys love you like crazy...") and introduce Tim's mom and dad, some others "who might be early for the next intervention", and a "smile addicted" clown " which Tosh invited because "these things are always very sad." Tim's father started the family part of the intervention by reading his own letter; starting with "we're here because we want a free trip to L.A." Intervensionis quickly determined that the Team had not reached the bottom and found a rehab offer until he did so. Tosh and Tim are shown next attending a drug party, where they re-create many of the crazy things that Tim says and do in his famous YouTube video, and a black screen with white text reveals that two minutes have passed since they started their drug party. When Tosh decides that Tim has now reached the lowest point (because they found the corpse's corpse from the intervention beside their hotel bed), they go together to the rehab center. But when "Amy Winehouse" answers the door at the "rehab center," the couple realizes that they must be overdosed (a subtle remark to one of Ken Seeley's statements during Pre-Intervention talks, when he stresses that some addicts do not hit rocks down until they die). As they enter Paradise, the screen fades to white, where black text (not the usual faded to black with white texts summarizing the time of drug addicts in treatment) says that "Six months later, they are still happy to die."
In the single Millionaires 2012 single "Drinks On Me", the show is referenced in the line "This is not A & amp; E, you will not see me in Intervention ."
In 2013, in response to a nasty comment about herself made on Twitter by Amanda Bynes, singer Rihanna tweeted "Yes see what happened when they canceled the Intervention?".
In 2013 the song "The Monster", featuring the singer Rihanna, from The Marshall Mathers LP 2 , Eminem raps, "I think you've been wandering there, and stumbling over to Jeff VanVenenen/Cause I need an interventionist , to intervene between me and this monster. "VanVonderen is one of the major interventionist events.
Internet comedian Stevie Ryan parodied the Intervention event on her VH-1 show Stevie TV . In that episode he describes a young girl who is addicted to twerking.
