A Family Intervention:
Saving the Arnolds
Drug addiction
has ravaged and divided the formerly happy “All-American” Arnold
family. After a series of traumatic events, Darian
turned to crack cocaine to deal with his problems.
His family members approach Larry today in an
attempt to save a life-saving intervention. Read
more below:
Darian says his drug addiction started shortly
after his dad passed away and his wife left him
for another man. Losing his best friend and his
life partner was too much to handle for Darian,
who has been abusing crack cocaine ever since.
His sisters Julie and Christin say they want
to give him a wakeup call not only for his own
sake, but the sake of his four children. Christin
is currently raising Darian’s kids and
says they deserve to see their father in a healthy,
stable state. Video Clip: Will Darian stop making
excuses and own up to his problem?
Darian’s mother Gene says that Darian
has stolen money and jewelry from her in the
quest for more drugs. Though Darian is still
staying at her home, Gene has moved in with Christin
because she can’t take it anymore. Gene
acknowledges that the death of her husband was
especially hard on Darian, but says sthat he
cannot continue abusing drugs if he wants to
be part of her life.

Gene’s
grandson Jack is another member of the Arnold
family who has dealt with serious drug addiction.
His mother was a lifetime drug user and, consequently,
Jack was born with a drug problem. Though Jack
is four months sober, he is currently living
with Darian at Gene’s house and the family
fears he may relapse.
As a start to cleaner living, Larry offered Darian
and Jack a free evaluation and 28-day rehabilitation
at Lakeview Health Center in their home state
of Florida. Stay posted to the show and the site
for updates on this family’s situation.
