Intervention S07-E14 Marci – Methamphetamine abuse 01/03

Website: www.facebook.com Marci, 36, grew up in Chico, California in a dysfunctional family with an alcoholic father and a mother in denial who tried to cover up the family’s secrets in order to impress outsiders. Marci began drinking and experimenting with drugs in her late teens and early 20s. She stopped using after her 2 children were born, but being trapped in an unhappy marriage with 2 young children proved too much stress and drove her back to the bottle. After her divorce, in which her ex-husband was awarded custody of the children, Marci began using methamphetamine. Fast-forward 3 years later and Marci is now fully addicted to the drug; smoking, snorting and injecting it several times daily and showing signs of drug-induced psychosis. She has no job and no home of her own, she has minimal contact with her children and a heavily strained relationship with her family, including her mother and her brother who is terminally ill with a heart condition. Marci’s family hope an intervention will help Marci to give up drugs, re-establish ties with her children and restore her relationship with her family.
