Battling Drug Addiction on the Tyra Banks Show

Friday, June 13, 2008

I was watching the Tyra Banks show and my attention was caught when they featured a mother asking for Tyra’s help to do a drug intervention for her teenage daughter. The mother and the sister were being interviewed by Tyra and they shared on the show what is happening with their daughter. Apparently it all started as an obsession to loose weight. I think obesity runs in the family and the teenage daughter has been using drugs to help her loose weight which eventually led to drug addiction.

The mother was so concerned of her daughter’s situation and they keep telling her daughter to stop using drugs to loose weight but the daughter won’t listen. So in her desperation, she sought the help of Tyra to convince her daughter to undergo adult addiction treatment. And while Tyra was doing an interview with the daughter, the daughter just collapses right in front of the camera. This really made her mother and her sister and including Tyra more worried.

So Tyra was really set in convincing the teenage girl to undergo a drug detox to help her get out of drugs and be able to stay clean. Luckily Tyra was able to convince the girl to go to a drug rehabilitation center.

Hopefully, the girl will b dedicated in really trying to stay out of drugs and she is not doing it just because she was pressured by Tyra. Otherwise, once she is out of the rehab, there is really a big chance that she will go back to her old bad habits.
