Last night, the show followed up on her post-Intervention life.

The follow-up episode showed Allison working and living near her rehab facility in California. She had just received her one-year sober chip, and decided to visit her family in Rhode Island to complete steps eight and nine of her program, by making amends with those who were affected by her drug use. She seemed way healthier and has a sense of humor about her original episode, which is one of the most well-known in the history of Intervention.

Her name is Allison, and in addition to anorexia and self-mutilation, she suffers from a huffing addiction of gargantuan proportions, sucking on dust remover like it's a baby bottle (she puts away 8 to 10 of them a day). Allison began abusing the substance as a junior in college (she is in her mid-20s now) as a way of trying to deal with the intense amount of pain caused by molestation as a child, the trial of the alleged molester (for which she had to testify in front of a court filled with people), her parents' divorce, a nasty custody battle, and her eventual abandonment by her father. She ends up going to rehab in the end, but only after her cats are taken away by the Humane Society and she's put in the psych ward. Clip above.
