In this emotional first part of the “Pill Popping Twins” series, younger sister Maria desperately seeks Dr. Phil’s help for her siblings, Yvonne and Yvette.

Once vibrant and full of potential, the twins have spent the past six years spiraling into pain pill addiction—a downward slide that has ravaged their health, strained family ties, and jeopardized the well-being of their children.

Dr. Phil confronts Yvonne and Yvette, challenging them to recognize the dire consequences of their substance abuse. Heartbroken and angry, family members share how the twins’ choices have shattered trust and turned daily life into a constant battle. With tough love and professional insight, Dr. Phil aims to guide these sisters toward admitting they have a problem and taking the first steps to reclaim their lives.
