For those who are unaware, interventionist Ken Seeley of A & E’s hit show “Intervention” is In The Rooms and has a profile where any member can contact him. Some may think of Ken Seeley merely as the interventionist persona from the TV show, but in fact, Ken is a dedicated member of the recovery community who has spent more than two decades of his time and efforts aiding those suffering from the disease of addiction.
Perhaps what makes Ken such a brilliant interventionist is that he knows first hand the struggles of addiction. Ken himself has20 years experience of being clean and sober from his addiction now. He continues to be a beacon for the recovery community, not only as an example that successful recovery is possible, but also as a continuous voice and presence for addiction recovery.

Pam, you can go to the network A & E’s website and go to Intervention’s website there is a place somewhere on there to request an intervention. However, you should research local rehabilitation centers in your area that would be willing to do an intervention. Just remember that he is suffering just as much as you are, and it’s important to let him know you love him unconditionally.

Alot of addicts I know are addicted to that show (no pun intended). personaly I cant see the attraction. I dont want to be the guy that rains on the parade here, but I do feel that an intervention is the most personal moment in a persons life. and posting that on tv would be the most horrible experience I can think of, short of reading my 4′th step in front of my grandmother. I just felt the need to speak my opinion on this subject here.
Best Wishes
