Intervention

Wes & Lise (13x15)

Air date: Jan 13, 2015

Wes and Lise have been together since their teens. Both products of traumatic childhoods, they bonded over a mutual interest in marijuana and other recreational drugs. But they were functional, with Wes earning money as a roofer to keep their two young sons in food and shelter. When, at age 30, Wes discovered crack and brought it home to Lise, their happy home turned to chaos. Hopelessly ensnared by their addictions, the couple’s focus shifted from caring for their children to finding and using that next rock. Deeply concerned for the children’s welfare, Wes’s sister Carrie makes one last attempt to save the family.
