While it is illegal to posses the drugs that the person is using, it is not illegal to film it. The producers and cameramen are not law enforcement so they cannot arrest the individual. Also, they are not legally responsible for alerting the police of the drugs.

“Intervention” shows the actual drug use for specific purposes. They need the audience to get the full effect of the drugs and the habit.

Sober house is the same way that one crazy guy who is always screwed up forgot his name lol
