Season 14, Episode 12
Erin
Age: 36
Location: Bradenton, Florida
Addiction: Dilaudid
Legacy Update: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcWOsE98v38
Official Synopsis: Erin spent her teens and 20’s as an A-list rock-n-roll groupie, but a prescription to relieve neck pain got her hooked on Dialudid. Now her mother raises her 5 year old son while Erin prostitutes herself to maintain her habit. Her family calls on Sylvia Parsons, who was intervened on by Jeff VanVonderen in 2006, and who became the first subject of Intervention to ever make the transition to interventionist.
Original Air Date: August 2015
Interventionist: Sylvia
I’m watching Tanisha’s episode and Erin’s follow-up is in there.
She does look great, but after reading all the comments on here it is clearly not true. I no longer believe any of the follow-ups on intervention.
From the latest 2021 mugshot, it looks like she was booked for possession of cocaine. Hope she’s doing better now, three years later. https://florida.arrests.org/Arrests/Erin_Holmes_50820366/
Oh wow there’s 2 pages of mugshots and charges! That makes me so sad.
This poor girl went through so so much I’m so glad Sylvia was her interventionist because she is genuinely kind and sweet just like Erin you could see the love she had for her son Bobby and her son Bobby had so much love for his mom she was just so lost I hope Erin is doing well in 2022 she has such an angelic soul drugs or no drugs you could tell in her responses she wanted to be sober for herself and her son
did Erin Holmes pass away I hope she got clean for her precious son Bobby
Apologies if they covered this in the episode and missed it but did anyone ever mention Bobby’s father – who is he and why isn’t he in the picture? Or maybe he is but didn’t participate in the doc? Heart breaks for that little boy begging for his mom and trying to explain it’s not his fault, it’s not grandma’s fault, many would agree it’s not Erin’s fault either. The addiction has got such a strong hold. Very sad to see the roller coaster and think about his hopeful little face during the ups but knowing there have been a lot of downs. Praying she’s making her way back up!
Unfortunately she was arrested again in December 2021. What a tragedy. All I can think of is her poor, sweet boy. His letter to her broke my heart.
I found her so likeable. wish there were better news about her. Erin, if you can see this, I’m rooting for you ❤️
A few years back I was hospitalized with a very bad case of gallstones…to manage my pain until surgery I was given Dilaudid intravenously. I’m not an addict but I have to say that when the Dilaudid hit it was the single most amazing sensation I have ever experienced. I’m absolutely appalled that Erin was prescribed Dilaudid for what sounds like pretty minor pain. I really would challenge anybody to NOT become addicted if Dilaudid was prescribed and readily available. I pray for her.
I totally agree. what kind of doctor gives someone dilaudid for “neck pain”? That’s crazy. I’ve had 2 neck surgeries, have 4 disc’s fused and plates in my neck. Plus I’ve got severe rheumatoid arthritis etc and I don’t take anything close to dilaudid. No doctor in their right mind would give anyone (except for someone in acute excruciating pain,like your gallstones) dilaudid. But i guess we should take into consideration that she lives in Florida where they have pill mills on every corner. I hope she’s been able to turn things around for herself and her precious little boy. They should move outta Florida and get a fresh(drug free) new life. So many of these stories start out with someone getting injured, getting pain meds then, before they know it, theyre addicted. Good luck to Erin and her son. God bless.
Wow. I looked at her mug shots, and something terrible has happened to her skin. I wonder if she’s using meth now. Very sad.
Just watched her episode for the first time and was curious for an update and found my way here. I’m guessing you’re referring to the 12/24/2020 mugshot? It almost looks fake. Looks like she might have another child as well based on the photos on her FB page. I do hope she’s doing well. I was devastated to learn Joshua, who was in the same episode passed away 4 years ago. He looked SO good while in rehab.
It kind of looks like vitiligo(?sp) or some similar non drug related skin condition, you notice in her episode she is always wearing very heavy face makeup.
There’s something magnetic in Erin’s vulnerability and sadness and in her tragic beauty. I think about her often and really hope that she is able to find freedom and peace from her addiction. Erin’s son is *the* sweetest little boy; his love is so pure and her love for him is so heartbreaking. I hope they are able to live and grow together in a healthy & clean environment some day soon <3
You just said what I was about to say. Her sad, utter vulnerability is totally palpable….and my heart goes out to her. . Her story also underlines the “toss-away” culture of Hollywood–especially for women who’ve reached “a certain age.” Her trampled sweetness touches me deeply. I sincerely hope that Erin has found happiness and sobriety.
Nope….she is living with my neighbor who allows drug addicts and prostitutes to wander in and out at all hours of the day and night. It has created a toxic environment for residents of the community. Completely unacceptable.

Here’s her Facebook. I truly hope she is doing better.
Unfortunately it appears Erin was arrested again just a few days ago. So sad I wanted so much for her sobriety. She seemed like a sweet person on the show who got mixed up in a dark world

Oh no! It’s sad to see she is struggling again. It’s kind of sad to see someone using again after a legacy update.
Ouch, she’s looking rough in her latest mugshot https://florida.arrests.org/Arrests/Erin_Holmes_39501692/
Erin was arrested again in Janaury: https://florida.arrests.org/Arrests/Erin_Holmes_39501692/
She looks so sick in her mugshot. I’m more afraid for that sweet little boy than I am for her now though. I pray this disease won’t be passed down to him. All around sad, horrible situation.
