The 2008 Emmy-nominee for Outstanding Reality Program, A&E's series "Intervention," profiles people who are struggling with addictions and the friends and family members who are seeking to help them.

The new season of the four-time Prism Award-winning series,"Intervention," will feature some of the most compelling stories to date including: a fireman traumatized by a fire that nearly took his life and the partner he rescued who is desperate to save him from alcoholism; a young man adopted from India at age 3 who refuses to accept the love of his adoptive family and is losing his life to heroin addiction; anorexic identical twins who would rather die than lose the title of being the thinner sister; and a young man whose picture-perfect suburban life was shattered by the Columbine High School massacre 10 years ago struggling with feelings of sadness and guilt and an addiction to heroin and cocaine.

"Intervention" is a powerful and gripping series in which people confront their darkest demons and seek a route to redemption. "Intervention" profiles people whose dependence on drugs and alcohol or other compulsive behavior has brought them to a point of personal crisis and estranged them from their friends and loved ones. Each episode ends with a surprise intervention that is staged by the family and friends of the addict, and which is conducted by one of three specialists: Jeff VanVonderen, Candy Finnigan and Ken Seeley.

"Intervention" has conducted 125 interventions since its premiere in March of 2005, 102 individuals are currently sober. In its sixth season "Intervention" averaged 2.1 million total viewers, 1.4 million A25-54 and 1.5 million A18-49. "Intervention" is A&E's #1 program among these demos.

Robert Sharenow and Colleen Conway are the executive producers for A&E Network. "Intervention" is produced for A&E Network by GRB. Dan Partland and Sam Mettler are executive producers. "Intervention" was created by Sam Mettler.
