User score

When Dan and Teresa first appeared on Dr. Phil, they sought help for their 16-year-old identical twins Drew and Dallas, who they said were destructive, dangerous and abusing drugs. The parents admitted they had lost control of their sons. Following the show, the couple agreed to send the boys to separate wilderness camps. Two months later, do Dan and Teresa still stand by their decision? And, watch the boys reunite for the first time since being sent away. Have they made a change for the better? Then, when Lane met with Dr. Phil, she was a single mom struggling with drug addiction. It’s been almost a year — how is she now? And, New York Times best-selling author of Running with Scissors Augusten Burroughs joins the show to share his journey toward sobriety, and the common triggers for relapse.
