Battling Addictions

When confronted by her family, Alyson immediately agreed to enter rehabilitation. Nine months after entering rehab, Alyson says she has remained clean. "I was ready to get help," Alyson says. "I had been calling out for help for quite some time. I just needed someone to kind of push me in that direction."

Her rehab was a torturous experience, and she vomited "nonstop" for a week and a half. "Crack, opiates, barbiturates, basically everything under the sun, I was doing. So my body was pretty toxified."

After undergoing nine months of rehab, Alyson says sobriety is "scary, and sometimes it hurts and sometimes it doesn't. I'm happy for the first time, really happy, and it feels real."

She says, starkly, that the experience of the intervention saved her life. "I don't think I would be here today [without it]. I really don't," she says. "I hadn't had anything else in my body for so long I couldn't even stand up in the shower for very long. I was just trembling everywhere I went."
