Addicted's finale traced the recoveries of a couple brought together and ripped apart by shared heroin and cocaine addictions. Annie and Mike have lost their reasons to live and will die together, unless Kristina has something to say about it....

Interventionist Kristina Wandzilak's greatest challenge in getting the Oxycontin addicted Jeremy off the stuff—after she finally got him in the room—was weaning him away from his chief enabler and the strongest survivor of his familial wreckage: his mom.

Kristina Wandzilak's personal crusade against California's coastal drug culture brought her to Alissa, a heroin and meth addict whose use started in her tween years. Describing addiction as her full-time job, Alissa was unprepared for Kristina's businesslike take on recovery.

Addicted's Kristina Wandzilak, whose recovery philosophy leaves no room for tears or feelings, tackled another desperate case last night. Kevin, diabetic since childhood, spent the last five years drinking vodka by the gallon, passing out shaking and waking up puking.

On last night's Addicted, the Albanian-born Klea was living the American dream, prostituting herself for meth and crying herself to sleep each night, until interventionist/host/emotionless mother-figure Kristina Wandzilak came along, setting her straight with her own brand of tough lovelessness.
