Synopsis: Through the life-changing intervention staged by Dr. Phil on his show, Gammill not only committed to getting help for her addiction, but she also went on to become a professional interventionist, helping thousands of others in distress. In The Interventionist, Gammills own story is intertwined with depictions of her often harrowing and always inspiring interventions and those of some of the addicts and families shes worked with over the years. In each chapter she recounts details of a clients unique battle with addiction and the devastation that led to a loved ones request for her help. Gammills story and the stories of the brave people who come to her for help demonstrates how it is possible to emerge from the seemingly hopeless world of out-of-control drug use and not only regain ones sanity, but actually discover that life clean and sober can be more meaningful than it ever was before.
