We are huge fans of the show “Intervention,” and this week was one of the best so far. Allison had an addiction to a version of dust-off. She inhaled up to 10 cans of the stuff a day, which besides the impact on her health, must have cost her around $100 a day. The buzz only lasts a few minutes, so she is huffing the stuff throughout the entire interview process. It is potentially fatal every time, so if you’re scanning a lot of negatives and want a quick buzz, get some coffee!
My favorite interventionist is Jeff Van Vondren. He is always calm and able to reason with the addict, eventually allowing them to feel comfortable enough to give in and go to rehab. Amanda prefers Candy Finnigan, I think its because she appears to be completely involved and emotionally committed to each case she handles. (I’m sure this is a deep rooted comment on who we are as individuals?)
Allison -
She was a pre-med student on her way to She was a pre-med student on her way to becoming a surgeon, but the trauma of being molested as a child and her parents’ brutal divorce haunted Allison. She started to inhale computer dust remover, which is potentially fatal with each breath. Her erratic behavior and absence from classes got Allison dropped from the pre-med program. Allison is currently inhaling up to ten cans of dust remover a day. Can interventionist Jeff help Allison and her family? To learn more about inhalant addiction visit here.
