Intervention S25E04 - Melissa

Nineteen-year-old Melissa went from being a happy-go-lucky high achiever to every parent's worst nightmare. Once a star athlete who spent her free time volunteering, Melissa now spends her days hungry for her next line of cocaine or sip of vodka. After experiencing a sexual assault as a young teen, Melissa began experimenting with drugs and alcohol and was eventually lured into the dark world of sex trafficking. Consuming more potent drug cocktails with each passing week, Melissa's family lives in terror that instead of celebrating her 20th birthday this year, they'll be arranging her funeral.
