Episode summary:

Sixteen-year-old Chelsea is a full-blown heroin addict. Since being adopted when she was 2 years old, Chelsea has battled feelings of abandonment and depression and now self-medicates with heroin. She shoots up as many as a dozen times a day, literally taking her life in her hands. Her adoptive parents, Deborah and Daril, are completely ignorant when it comes to addiction and have failed to set any ground rules for Chelsea, allowing her to live in a "drug addict's haven." In order to get Deb and Daril to relate to what Chelsea is going through, Josh brings the family to meet someone with a long history of abuse and personal tragedy and then, in a potentially life-defining moment, Josh arranges for an emotional reunion between Chelsea and a very influential person from her past.
