If you are seeking help locally please know that addictions of any kind are a serious matter. If you live in South Carolina, you can seek information and help on addiction here: The William J. McCord Center

Tonight on Intervention the focus will be on 53 year old Richard. Time is of the essence to get this addict into treatment as he suffers from diabetes which puts his life in further jeopardy. Richard has kept a traumatic childhood event secret all his life.

Richard started his addiction downfall by the age of 11, when he first used alcohol to numb the emotional pain. As an adult, he was diagnosed with diabetes, and his health problems were exacerbated by his drug and alcohol abuse.

Image via WikipediaRichard seemed to be able to keep his addictions in check while he and his wife, Sandy, raised their two children. However, an injury at work placed pain killers into this addicts hands leading to an addiction to prescription medication. Unfortunately, the addiction didn't stop stop there as Richard eventually became addicted to crack cocaine.
