Intervention: Season 8, Episode 4 - ProjectFreeTV

8 - 4: Andrew

Once bright, likable, and athletic, Andrew has become a gaunt, menacing OxyContin addict. As a child, Andrew learned to manipulate his father, Dan, who now admits, "I can't stand up to Andrew. He'll threaten to commit crimes and trash our motel room. I'd rather give him money for a pill than have him out robbing innocent people." Andrew, his father, and two brothers have been evicted seven times due to property damage and financial hardship, and they can go days without food. Can an intervention help Andrew--and make his father realize that if he doesn't get tough with Andrew, the whole family will be destroyed?
