Alyson's mother, Patricia, says that living with her addicted daughter was sometimes quite scary. "I was deathly afraid of her," she says. "We had called the police on several occasions to have her taken away because we couldn't control her. She'd emotionally attack me, physically attack her father, try to throw Kara down the stairs. It was just too much."
This violence had escalated so much, Patricia says, that the family sought help from Intervention. "That was at the end," she says. "That's when we started trying to get help."
