Intervention, Season 6

Millions of Americans struggle with addiction. Most need help to stop. From compulsive gamblers to shopaholics to drug addicts, Intervention® profiles people whose dependencies or compulsive behaviors have brought them to a point of personal crisis and estranged them from their friends and loved ones. Season Six of this powerful, gripping and award-winning documentary series opens with Gabe, a 23-year-old who as a young boy was abandoned by his mother in India. Despite a happy upbringing with his adoptive family – a loving Christian couple from Oregon and their five biological children – Gabe secretly felt like an outsider. In high school, he began resenting his religious upbringing and in his depression began to rebel, turning to marijuana, cocaine and eventually heroin. His family fears his addictions will lead to his death. Watch in this season of Intervention what Gabe and other addicts choose to do when confronted by family, friends and a professional interventionist: will they decide to go to treatment and get help or face exile and isolation from those who love them most?
