Looking for an escape. A mom of four reveals that her heroin addiction helps her forget about having lost custody of three of her children in Intervention‘s Tuesday, December 6, episode, as seen in Us Weekly‘s exclusive sneak peek above.
The A&E docuseries’ preview clip features Tiffany, who turned to painkillers after the birth of her first child caused a vaginal tear and led to 57 stitches. She developed an addiction to opioids and then heroin, resulting in the loss of custody of the three kids from her first marriage.
“From an outsider looking in, I look like a regular stay-at-home mom,” she tells the camera. “But I am anything but that. I am a full-fledged heroin addict.”
“I’ve come to realize that I am just as addicted to the process of heroin [as] I am the actual drug,” explains Tiffany, who runs the risk of possibly losing her fourth child and current husband. “I love the setting-up of all of it. I love watching the blood come back in the syringe when I’m shooting up. Everything about that needle, I love.”
“Any other way to do dope, I won’t even do it that way,” she continues. “I will shoot meth, I will shoot coke, I will shoot crack, I will shoot heroin. I will shoot anything because the high is instant — you don’t have to wait.”
She describes the high as akin to “floating” and says it gives her “tingles everywhere.” She adds: “I forget about all the bad s–t in my life. If somebody’s mad at me, I don’t care. The fact that I’ve lost custody of three children? In that moment, I don’t care. The fact that I’m on four different probations in four different counties, I don’t care. When I get high, I don’t care.”
Watch the clip above. Intervention airs on A&E Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET.
