linda: The raves started because I was in the concert business,

When tasha and them found out I was going to them,

Amanda: Linda made us costumes for raves.

She made everybody those furry speared hats.

She made tasha a couple of outfits that were short skirts.

Natasha: They were fun.

They were a lot of fun, you know,

Amanda: They were kind of not mother and daughter,

more sisters or friends, so not much rules,

and that made that house

the party house for all of us.

Linda: We had several parties.

We had lots of people over that people did all kinds of drugs.

There was cocaine, and there was mushrooms,

and there was all that.

Linda: In hindsight, I just didn't even care.

Like, I just said if that's what people want to do,

they can do it.

Karissa: At the parties, her parents

would lock their bedroom, and tasha was always on

kind of the rebellious side,

so she would break in and snoop around.

You know, eventually, she just found

a big bag of what looked like white/brownish powder.

Natasha: That's the first time I ever did mdma

because like I found it in my mom's drawer,

Amanda: We stole a lot of ecstasy, mdma, mushrooms,

there was drugs in the house, linda's place,

And I was getting more love from my drug friends

than I was my family.

Amanda: She had this boyfriend, and he was a drug dealer.

And he got her into, like, prescription drugs,

She quit school, quit hockey,

Karissa: She definitely started hanging out with a lot more

sketchier people, I guess, when she came back.

Amanda: She stopped hanging out with us.

She just completely cut us off.

Linda: I found needles in stuff in her room,

You're gonna go there for at least three months.

Okay? Natasha: Okay.

And then when I come back to kamloops,

it's just like, what's gonna happen after that?

Andrew: You may end up being embedded in the community

in vancouver.

You may decide to come back to kamloops.

You may-- the choice is gonna be you,

and your family is gonna get some help too

because you're not the only one that's unwell.

Okay?

Your mom's gonna get some help.

But we're gonna help you, and the facility will help you

set up a life that you want after treatment.

are you willing to accept the help

being offered to you today?

I don't want to do that.

Andrew: No?

Natasha: I know you might be disappointed in that,

or whatever you guys feel, but...

I have plans for what I want to do with my life.

I'm sorry, but I'm sick of doing whatever the [beep] you think

I need to do when really, deep down,

I'm not the only one with the problem.

Linda: Tasha, mom needs help too.

Natasha: Well, no [beep]. Who doesn't?

Seriously.

I'm done. I'm seriously walking away.

I'm not gonna make you do anything you don't want to do.

Just have a smoke with me.

Natasha: No [beep] way. Andrew: I get it.

They're as unhealthy as you are. I get it.

Don't say no because you're pissed at them.

I know they need help.

Andrew: Yeah, come on. What's the plan?

Andrew: But no one can stop you from doing that,

but why not go and build a healthy foundation

so that you can go do that stuff, live your dream?

Look at it this way.

You want to get your own place? Great.

They'll actually, the facility will actually

I'm only 22 years old! And they're [beep] how old,

and they can't even [beep] realize that?

Andrew: I realize that they got their own stuff.

There's no argument from me on that.

It's a question of whether or not what are you gonna do

about your life?

Yeah, you're only 22.

You've got another 60 years to go.

Natasha: Well, I don't know how I feel.

andrew: Why don't we just sit here?

Like, I know you're angry at everybody, alright?

You've got lots to be angry about.

But if you actually want to get your own place,

go and do all these things,

let these people help you do that.

That's all I'm asking.

Because I can tell you, at 22,

it's not that easy to go just do that with no support.

It's not.

Yeah, I really, really thought she'd do it.

I can't even believe it. I'm, like...

Shock, I guess.

Andrew: So we have to remember, the intervention's not over.

Because what happens now is she will spiral.

You know, the gentleman that picked her up, okay, great,

she'll stay there tonight.

But what happens when they have a fight,

or what happens in five days?

This would not be the first person that called in two days,

or in five days, or in two weeks,

and goes, "I made a mistake, I need help," alright?

This is where keeping bottom lines is really important.

I don't want you to give up.

Linda: That's all we got left, really, is if she calls.

Donna: Well, she's just not doing it today.

She's gonna do it.

It's gonna work. She's gonna go.
