How do the addicts not know it's an Intervention


I just kinda feel like since the show's been on for so long, most probably would know it's Intervention. Maybe they kinda know but the producers promise them like $10,000 to be on this "show about addiction."

I wondered about this too.

They've got so much time on their hands with not working or anything, you'd think they'd be avid viewers of the this show and would be well aware that 'final interview' means 'intervention'.

I don't watch the show regularly, but I do wonder about the camera crew. I guess they must film the goings on and not intervene. Must be hard for them. Sometimes the addicts are doing such dangerous things. I don't think I'd like to be a camera operator on this show. Ugh. Can you imagine the smell in some of those drug hangouts.

People who live in glass houses have to answer the door.

I remember one of the cameramen did an AMA on Reddit about working on the show, if you want to learn more about what goes on during filming.

" I guess they must film the goings on and not intervene."

Kind of ironic, considering the name of the show, don't you think?

They're high as f lol, also they are told it's a drug doc not this show, there are many many drug documentaries, they can say it's for a different project.

You wont find to many addicts watching tv. They are to busy using and hustling for money to use, then sleeping. They dont even know this show is on the air.
