Intervention Season 7 Episode 11
As a boy, Joey was subjected to his parents’ divorce and subsequent remarriages. Both parents were focused primarily on their new marriages and starting new families and often neglected Joey’s emotional needs. Joey entered his teens feeling rejected and abandoned by his parents, and began experimenting with marijuana and other drugs. At 19 he broke into his mother’s house and stole her credit cards to finance his burgeoning heroin habit. His mother pressed charges and Joey spent a year in prison. Upon his release he entered treatment, began a successful career as a tattoo artist, met his girlfriend (also in recovery) and fathered a little girl (Lyla). Fatherhood proved to be too much pressure on Joey, however, and he relapsed. Now, Joey is seriously addicted to heroin, spending over $200 per day on the drug, is estranged from his father and has a dysfunctional relationship with his mother, and is in danger of losing his family, his home and his life to his addiction. Joey’s family hopes an intervention can help him accept treatment, repair his relationship with his family and learn how to be a proper father to his little girl.
