Intervention: "Allison." Photo Credit: A&E Intervention
One of the most bizzare, horrific, and talked about about episodes of Intervention will be rebroadcast tonight as A&E television once again airs Intervention "Allison."
Allison seeks to alter her consciousness by inhaling the contents of the cans of computer dust remover spray that she purchases at office supply stores.
Molested as a child, she has never recovered from the trauma. She feels deep anger at her mother and isolates in her home with her cats. Allison's family feel an intervention is their only hope to save her.
Jeff VanVonderen is the interventionist.
Official Intervention Bio: Allison: She was a pre-med student on her way to becoming a surgeon, but the trauma of being molested as a child and her parents' brutal divorce haunted Allison. She started to inhale computer dust remover, which is potentially fatal with each breath. Her erratic behavior and absence from classes got Allison dropped from the pre-med program. Allison is currently inhaling up to ten cans of dust remover a day. Can interventionist Jeff help Allison and her family?
