Intervention S14E12 - Erin / Joshua

Erin spent her teens and twenties as an A-list rock-n-roll groupie, but a prescription to relieve neck pain got her hooked on Dilaudid. Now her mother raises her 5-year-old son while Erin prostitutes herself to maintain a $1700-a-week habit. Her family calls on Sylvia Parsons, who was intervened on by Jeff VanVonderen in Episode 32 from 2006--and who the first subject of Intervention to ever make the transition to interventionist. At the age of 14, Joshua was badly beaten by his girlfriend's father--two years later, he was molested by the leader of his youth group. He turned to heroin to cope with his traumas--and now he lives in a car, running scams and panhandling to support his addiction.
