Dr. Phil continues his work with twin sisters who are addicted to heroin and crack cocaine and were spiraling out of control. A few days into her detox, Sarah begins to emerge from her haze of drug use and painful withdrawal symptoms. Is she committed to the work involved with getting clean? Dr. Phil questions their mother, Cindy, about her own history of alcohol use and how she is sabotaging Tecoa’s sobriety and the health of her unborn baby. Then, Dr. Phil tracks down the sisters’ long-lost stepfather, Perry. They say his disappearance from their lives played a significant role toward their decline into drug use and prostitution. How does Perry explain his absence from their lives, and does his appearance bring closure for Sarah and Tecoa? As the twins begin to take their first steps toward a new life, Dr. Phil informs them that their paths of sobriety will be separate. Will they agree to go to different rehab centers to learn how to stand on their own two feet? Share your thoughts here.

my 28 yr old son dead

wish somwone could have helped my son,he was a sweet young man with 5 yr old twins,he died of an overdose 3-11-09,my heart is broken,he was the joy of my life,Joshua fought a long battle with drugs since age 16,he was 28 when he died.We did everything,3 rehabs,one in New York,a 13 hr drive from North carolina.We lost our home paying for help,lawyers and paying off drug dealers who threathened to kill our family,Joshua has 2 sisters.His dad and I have been married for 45 yrs,I was 15,he 17,Husband worked har as house painter,we bought a new home,we lost everything and would do it again,that's how precious he was to us.Joshua was remembered at his funeral as the guy with the big heart and always a smile.Our son never was disrespectful to us,even in his darkest times,except the last yr.He lost weight,had dealers after him,he was afraid.Where was someone when I tried to save my precious son,yes I am bitter and full of grief,when is something going to be done to help our young people?Gov.acts like there is no problem,when i know where the crack house are and I have kicked in a few doors when Joshua was younger to tell them to leave my son alone,I could write a book about my son and the agony we have gone thru.He is resting now for the first time in 12 yrs,only thing that keeps me from being with him.His loving mom Linda

My heart cries for you,this is so sad,you wonder where the help is.My 28 yr old son died in a boarding house 3 hrs from us.We loved him so much.Someone has got to take this drug addiction serious,these are not street people.they are our children,dads,brothers.I never heard Mccain or Obama speak of doing something about this horrible desase.It is a defect,like high blood pressure,etc.I am afraid my sweet son is just another addict the police don't have to worry about.Joshua was loved and always will be.
