Have You Ever Gotten the Feeling That All or at Least Some of the A&E Show “Intervention” Is Sometimes Staged?

Question by 8 Ball: Have you ever gotten the feeling that all or at least some of the A&E show “Intervention” is sometimes staged?
It just seems, at times, rather cliche and almost “too much,” as if the people featured on the program behave in a far more extreme manner than typical addicts. The show seems at times to “romanticize” the on-going heartaches, almost as if the “featured” people on the show are being led-on, like a dog and pony show.

Have you ever thought that this show might be staged in order to persuade people in the “war on drugs?”

Just curious.

Yeah, it does seem a bit contrived.
