Intervention Mondays

My roommate rather enjoys watching t.v., which is one of the reasons why I'm glad I got her instead of a person who can't stand television. We also like a lot of the same shows, which makes it even better. One of those shows is Intervention. Watching that on Monday nights is practically mandatory with us. It's such a fascinating peek into human psychology and I think it's a pretty fair show, not really biased against people. It's also interesting to see just how many drug treatment centers exist in America. I've got to wonder though, how much these rehabs charge and if the producers of Intervention have some sort of deal where the people profiled on the show get to stay for free or for a discount. Also, how do they decide what rehab is right for the individual?

Whatever the case, there's always the constant that the chosen drug treatment center is far away from the person's home. Whether it be in another state or 100 miles away, the show never needs to tell us why they do that. It's obvious that to heal a major addiction, you need to remove the person from their comfortable element, their home.

Intervention may be dramatic, but it's great t.v. and a lovely glimpse into a lifestyle I'll most likely never experience.
