UPDATE ON PEOPLE FROM INTERVENTION! Ashley from Las Vegas (addicted to black tar and xanax) is doing great! She still lives in vegas but has remained clean. Rachel from NYC who was homeless, now lives in Cali and had a brief relapse. She is clean from everything except pot. Last time I have heard anything, Sarah and Mikael are clean, and are not dating. And Cristy, the meth addict, is saying she is clen except alcohol, but I don’t think she is. She is also expecting a baby boy soon. Hope I answered some people’s questions!
Does anyone know what became of Michael of the Brooks , Ian and Michael episode? I know they said Brooks got married and Michael relapsed, but curious to know how hes doing. Also , anyone know Adam, Alissa’ s bf from the Alissa and Brian ep?
My prayers and deepest sympathy go,out to John C’s parents on his passing. His Intervention espisode was so sad it made me cry. My heart just ached for he and his parents…gut wrenching.
I agree too. Infuriating.
She was one episode where at the end I felt angry at her instead of sympathetic..sorry.
I agree 100%
I found her fb page after I wrote that. It’s sad, she still looks way to skinny but what even more sad is there are girls that write her saying they wish they looked like her. Smh
Here’s her fundraiser page: http://www.youcaring.com/tuition-fundraiser/moving-on-with-living/80065
Goal of $252,000? Really?
It appears that Mike actually died in September 2010. I found his episode so moving and the fact that financial constraints ultimately stood between him and a healthy, happy life devastating. Here’s his obituary: http://ironcountytoday.com/view/full_story/9456284/article-Michael-K-Fisher
Thank you. Updated the post.
One source claims it was a stroke.
I’m trying to reach out to Dallas, Jessa and Marcel ❤️ Please help me reach out to these beautiful wonderful people
Sebastian passed away from a heart attack. He was clean though.
So very sad to hear about Sebastian!!!!!!! As a reovering opiate addict, Sebastian and Marcel really pulled at my heart strings. I have daughters close in age, that were inseperable like these 2.
I was inquiring about that crazy girl Cristy and saw the update. I’m so glad for his family that he got clean!!!!! But how unbelievably unfair!!!!!!!! He changed his life, got clean, was living a good life and still was taken from most likely to effects of the damage due to his addiction.
To Sebastian, I hope you are at peace in Heaven!!!!!! You are a beautiful soul, and have made a difference in many peoples lives. May God bless and keep you, Amen.
Does anyone know how Mafcel is doing?
Marcel is doing great! He has started a campaign to help the homeless in memory of Sebastian’s name. He has a girlfriend and looks healthy.
I messaged Marcel on fb and follow him on Ig,he’s doing great and has been a lighthouse in the darkness for me.he’s a kind and big-hearted guy,that supported me,even if he didn’t know me in person.his story of addiction and his bond with his brother were similar to my story,and I could relate.So glad he’s clean, sober and happy.
Brad I am so sorry. Please keep fighting..nothing could be harder but believe there are people out there, even complete strangers:), who care about you. <<33
I’m an alcoholic struggling with the recent loss off my mother. Also my brother committed suicide a little over four years ago. I’m breaking inside.
Brad, I am so sorry for you. Please, get help and find someone to talk to.
Brad, I am sorry for your loss. Your pain is very raw right now. Hold the memory of your mom and your brother and seek help. There are people who can help. You can continue with your life and eventually hold memories that you find comforting. But right now, PLEASE find help. AA, call your county social services, if you have insurance, call them. Live your life in the moment until you can live one day at a time. Hold yourself gently, you cannot go around the pain, you gotta go through it, but you do not have go through is alone. Prayers your way, Melody
What happened to Gabe from Season 1 episode 2, whose episode seems to have been taken out of all circulation?
I would like to know this myself. He and Vanessa have been scrubbed everywhere, though I wonder if maybe it’s really due to Vanessa as there was a followup to Gabe.
Just watched the Ivan and Dorothy episode. Comments at the end say that Ivan relapsed after 5 months and resumed using PCP. Any updates on him? Wondering if he’s finally sober.
Hey guys, anyone know what happened to Jessie, the medical doctor hopeful who suffered from Bulimia? I believe the programme said she was from Oregon. I always wondered how she was doing
Jessie has done a lot better. She still lives in Oregon and is married now with a baby boy and works in the health field. She is very close with her family and has done very well.
Might be repeating a question, however, what ever happened to Allison, the young lady who huffed?
Allison is alive and well, I follow her on Instagram and Twitter. She helps other addicts.

Tragic stories. My heart goes out to the families.
Christy’d super pregnant–due any day! I hope she’s doing well….

I’ve been wondering about Dallas, too! I am re-watching the episodes on LMN and there are so many questions!
Sad…but they’re in a much better place now. Trust me.
Does anyone know what happened with Sarah and Mikeal? I really felt for that family.
I don’t know what happened to Mikeal, but Sara is one of my friends. She lives in Texas now, after the show she relapsed and moved to Prescott, AZ for treatment. She moved to Texas from Prescott around a year and a half ago. She’s doing really well, has a boyfriend, and works with animals. I’m glad she’s doing so well, she’s really an amazing person. As far as I know her and Mikeal haven’t had contact since the show, but I could be wrong.
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.
Charles Michael Weimer from episode 62 passed away on March 10, 2014 (says Nexis Death Records Search)
Thank you.
Do you guys know anything about Katie,the blonde girl with alcohol problems/bulimia?
Here’s Katie’s Facebook page:
https://www.facebook.com/katie.shapiro.338?fref=ufi&pnref=story
And her dad set up a GoFundMe page for her treatment;
http://www.gofundme.com/9wbndo
Bottom line, it looks like Katie is still struggling with her issues.
Just wanted to leave an update: according to Katie’s Facebook page, she’s been sober for 18 months! 🙂
Katie is doing great! Amazing, actually.
some of the episodes that are listed where people have passed away are not found under Amazon Prime this normal do they remove them when someone passes
I do not think he got better or even wanted to . He lost his poor dog , the girlfriend left , jail …… He seemed like a ton of street kids I see and know . They are there because there are no rules . They all have home but would rather form street families and not live in conventional society .
“No one who is suffering through addiction is ONLY an addict.”
I totally agree. That’s why addicts have nothing to do in prison. 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.
I’m also wondering about Gabe V. I saw his update and which stated he relapsed once but was attending meetings again with his dad. His story was particularly difficult to watch. That was back in 2009, does anyone know how he’s doing? I hope he’s ok.
I just watched Intervention episode on Donny for the 2nd time. I really want to know if he was able to get back on track after he relapsed? He had a loving wife and 5 children that looked like they all really loved him. I hope he was able to get help.
I am late on this reply, but I had met Donny at an NA meeting a few years after the episode aired. He had moved to FL and was visiting back on LI when I had met him. I believe this to be true, because it was a meeting I attended often, which is blocks from his LI home, and he was never there before the night he introduced himself to me. He was not with his wife/kids, and I dont think he had any contact with them when I knew him. He claimed to be a few months clean, but I’m not sure if it’s true or not. We hungout a few times, he was nice, but the drugs had definitely caused permanent damage to his brain. This was about 4 years ago, I don’t know how he is doing now.
Why do they call it Narcotics ANNOYMOUS?
I just watched Elena´s intervention a couple of nights ago, and it brought me to tears, she really touched my heart. Does anyone know how is she doing? I hope deep in my heart she is still very happy and healthy, she deserves it.
