Heroin Hits Home
Description
Riveting real-life television, Intervention explores the lives of people dependent on drugs, alcohol, or other destructive behaviors and the people who intervene to save them. This episode takes us to South Boston, where OxyContin - a painkiller and trendy drug - is the drug of choice for kids. But when this use became an expensive addiction, a cheaper and more deadly replacement was found: heroin. This documentary details the heartbreaking and dangerous effects heroin has on users and their families.
