Ep 7. Holley

Holley, a 28-year-old mother of three, is the subject of Intervention season 13 episode 7. Holley has been living with her partner, Tim, for seven years but her addiction to drugs and alcohol has caused a severe strain on their relationship. Despite Tim's pleas to stop using, Holley can't seem to stay sober for long.

Holley's addiction began at the age of 15 when she started using prescription painkillers. As her tolerance for drugs grew, she transitioned to heroin and eventually crack cocaine. Holley's drug use has affected every aspect of her life, including her ability to provide for her children. She has lost several jobs and has been in and out of jail for drug-related offenses.

In the episode, Holley's family and friends stage an intervention in the hopes of getting her the help she needs. Holley's mother, who is a recovering addict, and her sister, who is a nurse, both share their concern for Holley's well-being and plead with her to get help. Tim also confronts Holley about her drug use and tells her that he can no longer continue their relationship if she doesn't get sober.

At first, Holley is resistant to the intervention and denies that she has a problem. She becomes defensive when her family members confront her about her drug use and accuses them of not understanding what she's going through. However, as the intervention progresses and her family members share how her addiction has affected them, Holley begins to break down and realizes that she needs help.

After agreeing to go to treatment, Holley begins the difficult journey of detoxing from drugs and alcohol. She struggles with the physical and emotional withdrawals and has a difficult time adjusting to life without substances. However, through therapy and support from her family, Holley begins to make progress.

Throughout the episode, the audience sees the toll that addiction takes on not only the person struggling with it but also their loved ones. Holley's children, who are ages 6, 4, and 2, are shown living in difficult conditions due to their mother's addiction. Her mother and sister share the pain that they've experienced watching Holley's struggle and how it has affected their own recovery.

Overall, the episode offers a raw and honest look at the effects of addiction on families and the importance of getting help. It shows that while recovery is a difficult and ongoing process, it is never too late to seek help and turn your life around.
