Do you think the producers of the show slip the addicts money to get drugs so they can binge and get good footage?

Chemy said: I am pretty sure they do. Do you think a drug addict is going to allow someone to film them committing a felony crime for free???
No shit they get paid, but I highly fucking doubt A&E gives them money for drugs when they are fiending. That's just retarded. Yes, a multi million dollar broadcasting company is going to risk it all by trusting that a drug fiend ISN'T going to go to the press when someone from A&E gives them money to buy drugs. 
No, they give them money when they are DONE filming. That way they know the druggie won't run off with the money. Helloooo
It's obviously WAY better television when they film the scum bags stealing money from their relatives.

IMO if theyre paying a CRACKHEAD money to tape them do what they do best, they just paid them to buy drugs. what else do you think theyre gonna do with it? start up a bonsai collection? start collecting artwork?

So your saying when they film an 18 year old taking bong hit sized hits of meth over and over and over that he got all that meth with some 20$ he stole from mommy's purse? I highly doubt that.

That's not what I was saying. I was saying that they give them the money AFTER they are done filming. We all know what he is going to do with the money, that's not the question.

There are ways. I don't think anyone here is going to doubt the fact that when a fiend wants a drug a fiend can get a drug.
Come on people, you really think they are going to front these people money like that and HOPE they stay on camera through their drug binges and crashes? That isn't how business works in ANY system so why would it be any different for television?

and of course they give the people money to buy drugs, you think the addicts on there would agree to being filmed for no reason? I wouldn't doubt that they don't just give them drugs. Cuz for a junky the only thing better than money..is drugs. This is speaking from 5 long years of experience.
I'm surprised anyone actually questions that possibility. they film "intervention" because its about people who are
1. Doing drugs 2. Suffering horribly usually 3. Being violent
What better TV can you think of, as humans we love to watch other people doing all three of the above. And do you think if the person said well sorry guys I don't have any money so your not gonna have anything to film for your "documentary" sorry. They sure the hell aren't gonna pack up shop and leave after wasting countless amounts of money on film, travel, and salary.

to say that is idiotic, havn't you ever watched any kind of the retarded reality tv thats on every channel? If you had you'd realize thats EXACTLY HOW TV & BUSINESS WORKS. If you can't get what you want, PAY MORE.
You think they gave Anna Nicole Smith a show so everyone could watch her fat ass run around doing retarded shit? No they gave her a show in hopes she'd get fucked up and act like a complete moron, so everyone would stop for a few seconds and say damn that bitch is retarded.
You think they gave Paris hilton a TV show to hear her witty conversations? No they gave her a TV show in hopes she'd wear skimpy outfits and possibly get naked, so you'd stop for a few minutes and watch her and say damn shes a slut.

Sorry, I'm not convinced. You're going to have to do better than just give me your opinion. Until one of us comes out with some concrete evidence it's just going to be a fest. Think what you guys want, it makes no difference to me either way, I enjoy the show regardless 
I want to note that your comparisons are way off though. They gave them shows because they knew that they were egotistical bitches and they knew that they would act crazy in the spotlight. Money was not an issue because they both were already rich before that. It was the attention that they sought, not the money.

That was my point.
Money is besides the point...they gave them a show in hopes of them acting like they do. Just like A&E tapes junkys and gives them money in hopes that they will act like a junky does. if you would have read closely you'll have realized the word "money" appeared no where in the post

After what, 4 years, somebody woulda talked. In a certain manner, yeah, they're getting paid. But is somebody handing them cash while filming is occurring?? I doubt it.
It's a great show and very real. I personally don't enjoy watching messed up people in this case, although of course that's why my dumb butt did watch the Anna Nicole Smith show.

Did anyone catch the episode with that opiate/cocaine addicted chiropractor? He smoked what he called "trays" with cocaine mixed with heroin. That dude wasted so much coke it isn't even funny. Smoking powder is pointless and that dude just kept smoking those "trays" over and over and not getting very high haha.

I can pretty much guarantee you he was getting plenty high! Smoking speedballs is about one of the most hardcore things you could do.

I have no doubt he was high of the H but I dont think the coke was doing much because it wasn't in smokable base form. My one friend swore smoking powder out of a light bulb worked but it never did for me. Then one day we cooked up a little slab of crack for the time and BAMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!

Well I know when I used to smoke Tar H, and Oxy. The point of that is to get the foil nice and smooth. When you smoke H, Opium, or Oxycontin XR pills, you put them on the foil. Turn it at an angle, so that when you apply a heat source the drug whatever it might be will roll down the foil and vaporize, instead of being stationary and just cooking. Smoothing the foil just ensures it won't hit a snag and burn up on you.

He was actually rubbing his coke/H mixed into a paste around on the foil though, he called it finger-painting or something. I think they probably give some of the money up front, the person will stay on film because of the promise of more money later.
