I checked immediately into rehab and have turned my life around. I know this has nothing to do with these addicts that have passed but I guess I just wanted to say, may you find the peace in death that you could not find in life.
And to all other addicts, you CAN change. Ive done it and there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Good luck and God bless. Thanks for sharing your story I have four years myself. Her sister posted some videos of her this year to disprove this rumour. She is not dead.. But alive and well.. She is in a permanent rehab facility until further notice.. Further more, her youtube account jaycelay85 has at least 3 recent videos of her, short, but clearly her.
Nice to see her alive, plus she really toned down her appearance. Seems like it will take quite a bit of therapy for her to get really well… Hopefully she will stay on this path. Cristy is pregnant and due in about a month. How do I find her sister jaymee on Facebook? If you could post a link that would be great thanks!! Anyone heard how the ex military guy Adam is? Has anyone heard anything about Courtney from miami?
She was in Season Her story touched me for a lot of reasons… I hope shes ok.. It seems. And that they feel that taking their life most of the time is the only way out because of the powerful control it has upon them.. My thoughts and prays go out to all involved.. Sebastian- the Herion addict brothers passed yesterday from a stroke.
After no brain activity his family made the decision to remove him off life support. Thanks for letting us know Megan. Very, very sad news. If you find a copy of the obituary or anything written up in a newspaper, please link here so I know for sure before I include it in the official listing above.
Thank you. This is all I could find for the death of Sebastian so far. My mother is Sandy from Episode number 84 season 6 …she was sober for 19 months before she passed away on June 21st from Diabetic Ketoacidosis……thankyou all for your love and prayers my mother got to attend my wedding sober and my sister Alleas wedding sober….
Congratulations on nursing school! She touched many lives including mine. John from season 4 died in January. Anyone have any information? He seemed like he was doing better. Are you talking about John T? The episode just aired tonight? Its so sad these people finally lost there battles with drugs or alcohol. At least now their at peace.
I just pray everyday that I can stay that way. Its a sickness many people have. Its something addicts have to fight everyday for the rest of their lives. I have been sober over 6 years now but I know all it takes is one bad day and it can all come back. It is a tough and scary journey but its worth it if you can do it. To these people that lost there battles R. Anyone know anything about Dana? She was the one who lost 3 kids in a fire. I wish they gave more information. I believe the air date was today, June 20th, The final comments are written in past tense when discussing her and her drug abuse.
I am trying to find information about her, as the cooments have me guessing she is dead. Air date June 20th All the info at the end of the episode was definitely written in past tense.
Her story was very touching. I hope all is well. Kaila now runs a website and a youtube channel under the name Kaila Bee. While she does not seem to have gotten over her eating disorder, she has not died.
Does anyone know if she is still fighting this disease or what became of her? It was clear that her body was failing her. I was wondering the same thing about Kaila. Kaila is still alive and has a youtube channel and website that she posts on. My heart aches for her and her family!! I was wondering what has happened to her as well!
I hope she finally let herself get help. I was also wondering about Kaila. I cried when I saw her fragile 80 pound body. I hope that she is in recovery and on the road to wellness. She wanted the power and attention. Narcissitic or something. I am sorry, trust me I really feel for people with mental illness but I feel they can use their illness. Gina — Wanting power and attention are absolutely symptoms of anorexia.
It has the highest mortality rate of any psychological disorder. They feel out of control so they control the one thing they feel they can control: eating. Her obvious desire for attention does not qualify her for any specific mental illness and is to be expected considering how her mother treated her throughout her life. No one who is suffering through addiction is ONLY an addict. Addiction to most things is narcissistic to some degree.
It is a decision someone makes to take a personal risk exclusively intended for the users benefit with little regard for the effect it will have on his or her loved ones. Narcissism doesnt automatically imply high esteem.
She is extremely self-involved and finds enjoyment in seeing people suffering via caring for her because she can no longer care for herself. Kaila found revenge in having power she compared to godliness; which is pretty much the most narcissistic statement imaginable. I totally agree. Maybe a locked-down rehab, where they get detox and psychotherapy, but certainly not — NEVER — in prison where none of the underlying issues are being taken care of.
Pretty sure if Kaila or Dana had died, Intervention would have told us at the end. No reason to think both are not alive. Steve thank you for your comment. I guess I really related with the brother.
He was so sad but yet angry. Also, I have many members in my family who are mentally ill and sometimes I know they are sick but they are so selfish and I hate having to just accept it! Please let us know if Kaila dies. Can someone get accurate information about how she is today? Kaila is alive and well. I was in treatment with Kaila. She was brought back, then left a couple times, but as of February she is alive.
Gotta say, she quiet in treatment, but had a very narcissistic air. Difficult to get to know, and not entirely pleasant. Wow I just checked Facebook out, it makes her even more real, not just a TV person.
Looks like she is doing well, great for her! Looks like she just found another family member to help fund her existance. I was particular worried about those two. So Rachael is still alive although her boyfriend at the time has passed , Kaila is alive and doing great things.
Does anyone know about Ashley from Las Vegas? Xanax and black tar heroin. Is she alive and recovered? Does any one know about the girl that was inhaling computer cleaner.
Is there a comprehensive list somewhere on how these people are doing? Are there any updates on Jessie and or Laurie from season 2? I just saw that episode and it was gut wrenching. I really hope they both embraced recovery. This was one of the hardest episodes to watch. Sean from columbus,ohio passed on Jan. His liver finally failed and he passed on. Sean was a great person he will be missed.
My heart has been ripped out. Love u Sean. There was a guy who died from alcoholism I cant remember his name but he stopped leaving his house. A woman would go to his house every day to check up on him…not sure if she would bring him alcohol or not but he refused to go to rehab.
He also was a business owner, not sure if he owned a gym or tanning shops…. His Mom had several other sons, raised them all by herself. I know after watching her struggle is when the oldest son started his businesses…. He was found dead in his home…alone.
This particular episode truly haunted me for a long time. Does anyone know who Im talking about? I just got my answer. He looked like such a nice guy, I just hope hes doing okay now.. Does anyone know what happened to Sean? The guy who got half way and backed out, went back to his sugar mama and kept drinking?.
She is fine and in recovery from her anorexia. She is still living with her grandmother. She is still living with her grandmother and attending college again. Megan Wood, from Season 10 episode 5, passed away in February of Sebastian Ramirez he was on with his twin, Marcel died last year. Very sad. Definitely his family. This was very good. I always wondered what happened to a lot of them.
I was surprised about Sebastian Ramirez, what a shame. You want them all to live but sometimes the demons are just too much for them.
Way to go buddy! My condolences to his boyfriend Shawn, and to his family and friends. I am currently watching the episode with John the diabetic. I see him in myself.. I have chronic illness and am 22 but after I had to drop out of college because it got so bad I isolated myself.
Gosh I really hope it says he lives and is okay. He was the one that absolutely hurt me the most. To be ignored by peers as a child and adult , to have Type 1 Diabetes and depression. As a mom I could not take seeing his dad back away from him.
Not due to what John had going on. He was so depressed not out robbing banks. The last thing I ever saw related to him was that he gained 32 lbs but was still having issues. Poor sweet young man. I am interested to know about Brittany from S.
Does anyone have any information? I just watched the episode of Dillon. Season 3 episode 6. I saw the news article and some video regarding his suicide. It's commendable that the show tries to help people, but for many participants, that assistance was arguably too little too late.
Though it may be impossible to prevent all relapses, the team at Intervention could perhaps place more emphasis on the preparedness of the individuals entering rehab to better ensure they are committed to the entire recovery process.
Though most professionals on Intervention treat their subjects with respect, there have been moments that seem unnecessarily exploitative. The show is clearly in the business of entertainment, so some manufactured drama is to be expected, but the series' basic structure appears designed to value the negative more than the positive. Did you notice that episodes often seem to concentrate more on the addiction and less on the recovery process? By highlighting the angst and then staging a confrontational intervention, the show essentially throws gasoline on that fire.
Walsh argues that Intervention strives for "shock value" over professionalism. He points to one episode in which a past sexual assault is brought up during the intervention for no apparent reason. A licensed professional shouldn't have done this. Intervention is structured in a way that allows the viewing audience to see the consequences of addiction without experiencing it personally.
Think of it as addiction tourism. To appease its audience, Intervention shows the addict's life falling apart for the vast majority of the show. Then, during the final moments, we learn about the recovery. This structure is problematic for many because it suggests that the recovery — perhaps the hardest part of the journey — is the easy part.
By essentially fast-forwarding or altogether eliminating this part of the process from the show, Intervention runs the risk of misleading its audience. There are other issues, as well. According to Joyce Pines for the Kalamazoo Gazette , securing treatment can be a challenge for many people. While Intervention pays for a day stay for the show's participants, that length of treatment would be wildly expensive in real life.
Reviewing the rehabilitation rates reported by Intervention producers begs some serious questions. According to the Daily Beast via Reality Blurred , the show claimed in that of its participants had remained sober — that equates to an 71 percent success rate.
Three years later, that success rate had dropped to 64 percent. Then, in , it was reportedly 55 percent. While some may look at the decreasing number and see a problem, these rates are still exceptional.
So exceptional, in fact, that they raise eyebrows. Alcoholics Anonymous , for example, posts success rates of 27 percent within one year, 24 percent between one and five years, and 13 percent between five and ten years. However, some studies argue that the AA success rate is actually somewhere between 5 percent and 10 percent. It seems rather odd that Intervention could achieve such a significantly higher rate of success. In an interview with Business Insider , showrunner Jeff Weaver argues that Intervention 's extraordinary numbers may be because of the show's structure, which essentially gives participants a "head start" on the process.
While plausible, this answer doesn't explain how Intervention tracks its results. The Division on Addictions reportedly tried to get clarification on the show's tracking process to explore the possibility that its success rates are "mistakenly high," but it did not receive a response.
One of the criticisms of Intervention , at least in academic discourse, is how the show frames addiction in relation to "whiteness. The overarching structure of the show is usually the same. The subject grew up in a happy usually white world surrounded by opportunity.
Abbie began drinking excessively to cope with the abuse. Though she finally pressed charges after he threw boiling soup on her, Abbie is now a fullblown alcoholic. But as many of us know, the road to hell is often paved with good intentions and just two days after her release from treatment, Kacy relapses.
However, she is currently hospitalized and has been sober since February 16,
