INTERVENTION: BROOKE
This episode of INTERVENTION: BROOKE is about a 26-year-old woman who as a
teenager was beautiful and vivacious with a magnetic personality. She grew up in
a tight-knit, Christian home and became an elite gymnast on the high school
cheerleading squad with promise of a successful athletic life ahead. Then
tragedy struck – she was crippled by Steele’s disease, an early form of
rheumatoid arthritis. She became disabled by her pain and was treated with
narcotics. It wasn’t long before Brooke lived solely for her medications,
constantly seeking relief from the agony.
Brooke's addiction has escalated and her heartbroken family has
unsuccessfully sought new treatments and methods to relieve her pain and
addiction, but Brooke denies she is an addict and insists that she is doing what
she’s been instructed to do by her doctors. Her family can no longer sit by
and watch her deteriorate. An intervention is their last hope. Interventionist:
Ken Seeley.
