Ep 6. Britney & Terry K.

Britney and Terry K. are a married couple who are both struggling with addiction. Britney is addicted to opiates and has already lost custody of her children due to her drug use. Terry is addicted to crack cocaine and has lost his job and turned to crime to support his habit. The couple's families are at their wit's end and are hoping that an intervention will be the turning point that gets Britney and Terry the help they need to kick their habits and turn their lives around.

The episode begins with Britney opening up about her drug use and how she began using pills to deal with the pain of her brother's death. She quickly became addicted and turned to heroin to get a stronger high. Her addiction spiraled out of control, and she lost custody of her children to their fathers. Britney's boyfriend, Tyler, talks about how he has been trying to help Britney get clean, but she keeps relapsing. He is hopeful that the intervention will be what she needs to finally turn her life around.

Terry's story is equally heartbreaking. He started using crack cocaine after losing his job and struggling to make ends meet. He turned to crime to support his habit and has been in and out of jail for the past few years. Terry's father talks about how he has tried to help his son, but nothing seems to work. He is hopeful that the intervention will be a wake-up call for Terry and that he will finally get the help he needs to overcome his addiction.

The interventionist, Jeff VanVonderen, meets with the couple's families to plan the intervention. They all share their stories and express their love for Britney and Terry, but also their frustration and anger at their addiction. Jeff helps them prepare their letters and plans to meet with Britney and Terry separately to talk to them about the intervention.

When Jeff meets with Britney, she is initially resistant to the idea of going to rehab. She talks about how she has been to rehab before and how it didn't help. Jeff urges her to remember why she decided to get clean in the first place and encourages her to give rehab another chance.

Terry is also hesitant about going to rehab, but for a different reason. He is worried about what will happen to his wife and son while he is gone. Jeff helps Terry see that his addiction is hurting his family and that going to rehab is the best thing he can do for them.

At the intervention, Britney and Terry are surprised to see their families and friends gathered to express their love and concern. They both listen to the letters and are clearly moved by the outpouring of support. Jeff urges them to accept the help that is being offered and to take the first step towards a better life.

The episode ends with Britney and Terry heading to rehab, both hopeful for the future. Their families are relieved and grateful that they finally took the first step towards recovery. The episode serves as a powerful reminder that addiction affects not just the person struggling with it, but everyone around them. It also shows that with love, support, and professional help, recovery is possible.
