Intervention Canada

From the outside, Conrad, 20, leads a picture-perfect life. He lives in his parent’s lakeside home in Huntsville, Ontario, while they cater to his every need. Unfortunately, this family’s reality is far from ideal. Conrad was alienated when he was young because of ADHD and tourettes, and instead of friends, used extreme sports to fill the void. As he got older and the adrenaline wore off, Conrad turned to Oxycodone as his escape. Now, dependent on pills and full of rage, Conrad battles with his parents in a house that’s slowly suffocating them all. Afraid for their son, and trying desperately to hold onto their own relationship, Conrad’s parents finally deliver the ultimatum that might save his life. Interventionist: Andrew Galloway
