A&E -- Intervention: Episode 27: Tammi And Daniel

Tammi, 45, an alcoholic, grew up in a family of six girls and is the daughter of a dentist and a medical technician. Her sisters say of their background, "We were from a very good family. We were raised with good values, upper middle class, all private catholic schools... We had golf lessons, tennis lessons, swim lessons, all of it." After his father s death in 2001 Daniel's escalating dependence on methamphetamine and marijuana became apparent to his mother Joy. She sought help in the form of religious based organizations that offered counseling for her son. Daniel was unresponsive, sinking deeper into addiction. An Intervention is his only hope.
