“Music, dance, story-telling and silence are the true universal healers” – Native American saying.
Twenty eight days is the recommended treatment period for a group of addicts who check in to Vista Clara, one of the many fashionable rehab clinics springing up like geysers in the New Mexico desert.
INTERVENTION offers a fly on the wall bitter sweet glimpse of what goes on behind closed doors when an eclectic group of people drawn from all walks of life find themselves under one roof for twenty eight days with one thing in common – addiction.
For every addict, the sphere of influence is much greater than his or her sphere of concern and after a four week period of isolation and reformation, under the treatment of the counsellors, their friends, family, and significant others join them for the family program weekend, where reality and reconstruction begins.
Those who are affected or influenced rather than being ‘under the influence’, suffer the consequences of addiction just as much as the addict being treated. INTERVENTION exposes the reality of that crazy world where disorders of dysfunction – the ‘3 D’s’ (drink, drugs and depression) are dealt with.
Mark, a former porn star-turned-producer, is addicted to alcohol, drugs, gambling and sex; Joe is a Kiwi comedian with a drink problem; Sara is a former model, muse and recovering herion addict with anger and food issues; and Harry is a prescription drug addict from a privileged family.
When Jane – Mark’s wife, Pamela – Mark’s lover, and Kate – Joe’s best friend – arrive to join the family program weekend, the process of group therapy, rebuilding and resolving confused relationships is all-consuming and frequently results in a series of emotional and physical meltdowns.
