In Private Practice Season 4 Episode 22, titled "...To Change the Things I Can," viewers get to see the doctors of Seaside Health and Wellness come together for Amelia's intervention. The episode dives into Amelia's struggles with addiction, a theme that has been explored throughout the season.
At the start of the episode, the team notices that Amelia is MIA and begins to worry. Cooper soon discovers that she is hiding out in a hotel room after relapsing and going on a drug binge.

Throughout the episode, each of the doctors takes turns confronting Amelia and sharing their own experiences with addiction and how it has affected their lives. It is a powerful moment as each character opens up and lays their hearts bare, hoping to connect with Amelia and show her that she is not alone.

However, after much discussion and persuasion, Amelia finally agrees to seek help and check herself into rehab.
Even though the main focus of the episode is on Amelia's struggles with addiction, there are also several other storylines woven throughout.
