Dr. Phil

Survivor Todd's Shocking Relapse: The Life or Death Intervention (13x49)

Air date: Nov 13, 2014

When he first appeared on the show one year ago, Survivor: China winner Todd Herzog was battling an alcohol addiction so severe, his family feared he could die at any moment. A clearly intoxicated Todd received a dose of reality from Dr. Phil and agreed to enter a 90-day rehab program. Several months later, in February 2014, Todd took part in Dr. Phil's 2000th episode and had a happy update: He had been sober for 112 days. But Todd’s mother, Shirley, and stepdad, Chuck, say Todd has since fallen off the wagon completely and is now worse than ever. With no time to waste, Dr. Phil travels to Todd’s home in Utah and flies him back to Los Angeles for another life-saving intervention, alongside mother-and-son intervention team Brandon and Debbie. What went wrong with Todd? Plus, don’t miss Part 2 tomorrow, when Todd is offered another chance to turn his life around — will he accept?
