    Default Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew

    I thought for sure there would be a thread on this but I didn't see one. Hope I'm not overlooking it!

    Is anyone watch this show? I'm not quite as into it as I was last time but I was also in the middle of a kick when the first season was on so it felt more relevant in a way.

    I cannot remember which woman it was, but in the first episode she was showing off her pill collection and she took a tiny bit of sub, put it in her mouth and proclaimed it was as strong as heroin. She made it seem like some incredibly powerful high. I'm always surprised when no one bothers to correct false information like this, especially since it is a show about drugs.

    Gary Busey is always good a laugh although he makes me incredibly uncomfortable. If I was stuck with him in treatment I'd have to use just to get through the day.

    I DVR'd the first episode and watched it a couple of days ago, haven't seen anything past that first one, but that pissed me off when I saw that model girl taking her "Sub chunklet", as she did say it was like Heroin and when she put it under her tongue she made a face like it kicked in that second.

    As it so happens, my Mom was also watching that episode at a later date and saw that, and she knows I'm on Subs, so she called me like "you didn't tell me your medicine is like Heroin!". I had to calm her down and explain everything to her, and she took it pretty good, but still is a bit more weary of it now after seeing someone on a rehab show taking it and going into like nod-mode in a 5 second clip.

    I mean, if someone has no opiate tolerance and takes Bup, of course they're going to feel something, but I just didn't personally like the way it was portrayed on that show. I highly doubt that girl had no opiate tolerance.

    It is a fact, though, that Dr. Drew thinks Buprenorphine treatment is bullshit, as he has said it on Lovelines many times. Still, it was just annoying to see that on TV. BAH!

    Im not trying to be a downer here, but I hate shit like this. All it does in my opinion is exploit people in these positions. For example, I do not think they'd take a bunch of boring people who get along real well, and would have easy (using easy as a relative term) time getting sober.

    Nope, they take the Rodney Kings, Gary Buseys, Nikki Mckibbens and Tawney Kiteans of the world. People who absolutely 100% surround themselves with controversey and outlandish behavier. Which is expected to make an explosive show.

    Profiting millions upon millions for preying on people down on their luck. Only in America can slime like this be considered entertaining TV.

    Sometime if you get the chance (Maybe you have already though), it's an interesting read on how he got his speach impedement.

    Actually, I assume you didn't catch the backstory OR simply got too irritated watching celebs pimp themselves out to a Rehab center for the most part to just get some camera time...anyways, Steven Adler was taken to a hospital 2 weeks prior to the first filming. He was in really bad shape and his wife and brother called Dr. Drew to come get him early, so when he arrived at rehab, he was already 11 days clean...

    I do believe the person in question is Amber Smith, when they did her little "bio" at the beginning I, like everyone else here, wanted to reach through the TV and smack the shit outta her. She pulls out her pill box thing, and starts talking about "these are the uppers, these are the downers" of course talking about ADD meds and benzo's, and then proceeds to talk about how she is a hardcore opiate user and "I use so much opiate that they won't fit in my pill box" and makes this big hullabaloo about what a hardcore opiate user she is, and then takes a chunk of suboxone and talks about how it's just like heroin and blah blah blah.

    My guess is that she's completely naive to the actual workings of most of her pills, and takes her subs and then chokes down half a dozen vicodin and thinks "well this doesnt do shit, I must have a huge tolerance".

    Anyways, this is definitely a show I love to hate...can't stand it, yet I follow it religiously, and often times am yelling at my TV set.

    Jeff and Steven I feel for, I'm not sure what to think of Rodney at this point...he doesn't seem to like anyone, which is fine...but the rest of them, I just can't take them seriously, and their sheer ignorance bugs the holy living hell out of me...

    There is a thread (or cxouple) about the 1st eps.
    Haven't seen the new one yet - is it "I smoke to much weed a day girl" type or do they have people that aren't just there to better their PR or need the $$$?

    The Sub thing that that woman did is both funny (because she's obviously stupid) and scary (because no one bothered to portray it accurately or correct her). It probably is the case that she's taking it, then taking a pure agonist on top of the Sub, then assuming she has a huge tolerance, which wouldn't be true because the Sub is simply blocking the pure agonist.

    I watched this show last season, with that one guy who was in the hospital and Dr. Drew explicitly said no benzos or opiates, even though the guy was an opiate / benzo addict and having fucking seizures. I mean, how fucking reckless can you get. I think a lot of it is staged, and they only put washed up, crazy ass "celebs" (if you even want to call them celebrities) on there to get ratings. Kind of like Jerry Springer: fill the show with crazy ass drug addicts who happen to have been famous at once, and you're bound to get ratings. I do think it's a shame they exploit addiction for ratings.

    If they really wanted a good show, they would combine it with those half-ass celebrities and real drug addicts (i.e. regular people, not celebs). I can almost guarantee the real drug addicts would beat their asses, yank that woman's pill box / Subs away, shake them real good, and say "SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU WHINY ASS SPOILED WANNABE JUNKIES!" I really do believe that most of these celebs view this as a way to get back into the spotlight. It's pathetic.

    And doctor Drew. I consider him to be pretty much like those doctors on Dr. 90210 (that reality show about Beverly Hills plastic surgeons) and Dr. Phil (even though he's not a real doctor, just a tool). He's only in it for his own fame, glory, ratings, money, whatever. He's not equipped to treat addicts or anyone else IMO, because to do that I feel you should be concerned about the patient, and not your own fame. Plus, brush up on fucking benzo w/d you fucking idiot. I hope someone has a major seizure and he gets his ass sued one of these days. Maybe they'll take away his little stethescope.

    And Gary Busey. I don't care if he's been sober for years, the guy looks criminally insane. Like one minute you'd be having a serious conversation, then the next he'd either be yelling in your face for something off-the-wall, or dancing in a tu tu around you showing you his ballet skills. I think he must have some major brain damage. His eyes are just weird, very bugged out. Kind of like bipolar people when they're really manic, or psychotic people. I would feel extremely uncomfortable if I were in a room with him alone, and he was my counselor. I'd have to get the hell out of there, or use to deal with it too. For some reason I think it would feel like some dirty old man watching a little girl. Something very creepy like that.

    I watched about the first 10 minutes of the program.

    but the DR pissed me off so much, I had to turn it off.
    if Cannabis is prescribed by your DR, in a state that has decided its legal, then your acting within the boundaries of "sobriety",...if not technically, then surely one is acting as a "sober user"

    Gary Busey might be a bit strange, but I thought it rude that the intake nurse and the head DR. determine that his head injuries were part of the reason for his strange behaviour.
    the guy just seemed a bit too excited to "help out" at the center.

    I guess I should have watched longer, because I really dont understand the discrepancy between what Mr Busey thought he was doing, and why he was at the center in the first place.
    they were bringing him in like he was going to go through treatment, and he thought he was going in to act as a recovering addict guide of sorts...what? did someone "trick" him into going into that facility by telling him he would get a spot on TV to try and help out other celebrity addicts?
    the guy showed nothing but compassion in my eyes, but then I only watched 10% of the show.

    I bet you anything that the center approves nicotine and caffeine consumption, in lew of the patients being of the hard drug using types...
    so medical cannabis is a no no in this Dr's bag huh?

    he seems like a decent individual really...

    when Dr's are happy to hand out effexor(venlafaxine) without dispensing that the stuff acts on the serotonin/dopamine/opioid system, and is almost as addictive to some people as heroin...or totally willing to handle their "sober" patients with other psychoactives that can be somewhat enjoyable like xanax, or klonipin, or possibly dangerous anti depressants, drugs like valium that can kill you if you quit them too quickly......when one of the leading causes of death is from the side effects of nicotine addiction/tobacco use...
    why bag on a guy that is clean from his drug of choice, who is going along with a medical system provided by the state, for smoking medical cannabis.

    its fucking stupid.

    I know the guy trys to help people out....and mostly people willing to seek treatment of their own will and volition, and he might not be the standard contributor to the USA's "recovery gulag", but its like bagging on a methadone user for quitting heroin to use only methadone as prescribed.

    I really would like to see what drugs this DR regularly prescribes.
    I doubt cannabis is not as detrimental to a persons health as 50% of the medications that he may regularly prescribe
    maybe he doesnt reside in a county that legalized medical cannabis use...or maybe he is just tight.
    real tight.
    cause cannabis in most places in California is not even thought about anymore.
    I have driven by bus stops in California and seen old grannys and teenagers smoking fat joints of cannabis, cannabis clubs before the big raids a few years ago were all over the place it seemed.

    the actress comparing subs as basically heroin was a bit ditzy.....but I have to say that I have seen people sick and puking for hours after taking sometimes only a few hundred micrograms of buprenorphine.....while typical opiate type overdose from buprenorphine is probably not physically possible, I wouldnt put it past the substance to be dangerous....especially if you are an addict and you eat the stuff before you are really sick.
    that forced withdrawl is devastating.

    I think that they should treat these people with other addicts who arent actors or actresses or performers.
    their reality is usually much different from the average person.
    we dont get paid to go to rehab to do a show.....
    not that I know exactly what a celebrity gets from doing the show, maybe its just free treatment, but its a different experience.
    most of them can afford the average persons yearly wage for just a few weeks of treatment.

    watching that show has made me feel gifted in a sense...here I am, heroin free, enjoying legal use of opiates/opioids, and herbs, doing interesting research with herbs, enjoying a time in history that allows a common poor person like me access to a good percentage of the worlds botanical medicinals/euphoriants .....its amazing what a little discipline and planning, and restraint can do for ones habit.
    I may not be "sober" in the technical sense, but I am healthier and more productive than when I was just drinking and smoking tobacco and work was about my life.

    some people are better off not touching drugs....probably most people are better off sober.....but herbs and certian drugs do have their place in society beyond just the medicinal....attaining "siddhas" is just one example of research/application of herbs/drugs, philosophical, poetic, as a substance to open up communication between people, there is some positive application.

    I would love to peer into this Dr's current lifestyle....perhaps he is a pinnacle of sorts of physical and mental health wrapped into one person...perhaps his compassion outweighs his redundancys a 100 to 1.....but looking at him I just cant imagine that this guy hasnt toked one up in his past. or enjoyed the leisure that many Dr's have with obtaining sample medications and selective treatment from other Dr's....

    Dr. Drew is a good doc and I'd take him any day, the last thing he'll do is rx you anything though, the members in there do get meds for w/d's etc. It's not just C/T but hat would make for better TV!!

    Whole bunch of peeps C/T on tv......

    This is the funniest show that has ever been on TV. Me and a friend get really high and watch it and just laugh our asses off at how stupid/hilarious it is.

    Gary Busey is the coolest/craziest mother fucker ever.

    Edit: I forgot, but did anyone see the model who was basically throat-fucking herself for about 5 minutes? She was laying in the middle of the hallway, trying to throw up by sticking her fingers in her throat, and it would just cut to one of the counselors just staring, then back to her trying to throw up, then back to the counselor. It was just that for 5 minutes, and she never threw up!

    For those of you who like Dr. Drew, I highly recommend his book "Cracked" from a few years back. It's a "fictionalized" accounting of typical patients and their treatment (basically he changed names and a few details to protect identities). You definitely get an idea of where he's coming from.

    I agree with you 100%.... I didnt mean to sound like they were victims in anyways. Thats another reason it's nothing more than exploitation. For both sides.

    But I do feel the "heads" of it all are the scum of the Earth too though. I mean sure the patients are obvious attention whores, but c'mon, they're still addicts, and still probably need some serious help. And aside from the attention-whoring of the show, they pobably thought they were going to get it. Sadly they won't. The #1 objective of this show for the "heads" would be to make money on a controversial show. Not help a bunch of junkies/'drunks into recovery. If the show lost money, yet had a huge successful sobritety rate, it'd still be cancelled within seconds. And that my friends, makes shows like this, and the people that create them: The Scum of the Earth.

    Oops i didn't see you post. But it did say he was already 9 days sober before he came to rehab, he was 11 or 12 days sober when they had the "whats the longest you've been sober since you were 11 yrs old?" scene

    he really is an overgrown baby but I'd probably act like that too if i had to detox from 360mg's of oxy with a fuct up back
    remember that?

    and also when drew said he and his g/f should be separated, boy did the shit hit the fan!

    ^^^^^^^ That's the truth. I did catch a part of the first episode of this new season, and she was wanting to come into rehab, but Dr. Drew said they'd send her to a different part of the building to separate her from Jeff. I mean, both she and Jeff could not figure out why they'd do that. Like it was some off-the-wall, how-dare-they-even-suggest-that kind of thing.

    Plus, she really does come across to me as someone riding the coat tails of Jeff's former success. Like she thinks that by being his girlfriend and "supporting" him on this show she's going to segway into an acting career herself. I do not like her.

    +1. I couldn't agree more. She's obviously a piece of shit thats dating Jeff for money, drugs, or fame.
    And she acts dumb when they cut off her xanax when she was only taking 2mg's when she came into rehab. That might be bad for someone with actual anxiety but i think she was just playing it up for the cameras

    For some reason, it really irks me when she says "I take so much opiate". I don't know which one is gramatically correct but i wish she would say "I take so many opiates"

    Seriously! I don't know if it's just her over all demeanor, her blatant ignorance of drugs she's taking and then passing on her misinformation to the television audience, or what...but she just drives me right up a god damn wall...though I did briefly feel sorry for her while she was finger fucking her mouth in the hallway in full blown WDs, but that went away quickly

    This season it seems as though they were really hard up for "celebrities", I mean, the 3rd runner up from American Idol's first season (time and booze/coke did not do her well), and Rodney King...I must say that I am looking forward to the episode when Gary and Jeff get into a bit of a fight, that should make for some good tv

    One thing I don't get is, what the fuck is Jeff going to do w/out opies? I mean, I've got some decently severe back problem and without my meds I wouldn't be able to lead a normal life, I'd be stuck in bed some days wanting to kill myself.

    Still, if nothing else, this show makes for a good chuckle here and there...I wish they would correct some of the misinformation though...ah well, it's nice to wish

    I think the thing with Jeff is that they are trying to get his tolerance down, stop him from ABUSING his meds and stop the cocaine use. I don't think they cut him completely off his pain meds cause you always hear him say he'll leave if they do

    Yeah, that really irked me too. Dr. Drew also called them "opiate" Like "she's addicted to opiate" and shit like that. Made me so mad!

    I think there is a new episode tonite.

    He says "Usually people addicted to opiate are trying to escape from emotional pain".

    And yes, there's a new episode tonight at 8 or 9 CST

    Is it a re-run? I'm pretty sure I saw the Jeff episodes last year (in Europe) and remember that he really irritated me cos he was moaning and screaming, yet nodding out all the fucking time!
    In withdrawal... yeah right.

    Edit: I forgot, but did anyone see the model who was basically throat-fucking herself for about 5 minutes? She was laying in the middle of the hallway, trying to throw up by sticking her fingers in her throat, and it would just cut to one of the counselors just staring, then back to her trying to throw up, then back to the counselor. It was just that for 5 minutes, and she never threw up!

    Now, THAT is the way to experience this show -- with one's consciousness slightly [or not so slightly] altered. If this show is watched without such "adjustments", it only aggravates and irritates like a grain of sand in one's eye. How else can you sit there while Dr. Drew shoves heavy duty mood regulators down Gary Busey's throat while denying him his usual medication -- to wit: medical marijuana? I mean, if one weren't a lil' high, one might think Busey's "unusual behavior" which lead to Dr. Drew calling in a colleague was in fact due to GB not being able to use his regular medication, medical marijuana.

    Thus. I totally enjoy watching this show as long as there's beer in the fridge, a spliff rolled and ready to light, and bottle of dillies or other opis on the coffee table. Without these "safeguards", my tendency is to watch the show as if it were indeed "reality" and then it just gets me pissed off because I think about the false messages the show sends out about things like opiates, medical mj, hell......everything!

    That said, I think I will work on a new invention callled "Dr. Drew's medical popcorn" for use with the show. I'm thinking that a bowl filled with a pile of OC's, some bezos, an eight ball, and some special butter would do the trick.

    Best,

    I cannot remember which woman it was, but in the first episode she was showing off her pill collection and she took a tiny bit of sub, put it in her mouth and proclaimed it was as strong as heroin. She made it seem like some incredibly powerful high. I'm always surprised when no one bothers to correct false information like this, especially since it is a show about drugs.

    i saw this to , i had to laugh..her reaction aFter taking it was priceless,like she had just mainlined h.....im sure she was told to do this by the director
    what a joke

    3 deaths, and 1 rape at Drews Hospital

    Anyone heard about this shit, I read about it right before the new season started.

    Officials Probe 3 Deaths, Rape at Dr. Drew's Hospital




    We mentioned last week that Aurora Las Encinas Hospital, the Dr. Drew Pinsky-endorsed rehab facility in Pasadena, CA, is under investigation after 3 deaths and the rape of a 16-year old girl happened within weeks of one another.
    Well, it looks like Dr. Drew is starting to do the distancing dance!
    Prior to the scandal, the doc's photo was featured prominently on the hospital's website.
    Pinksky's photo disappeared from the hospital's site on Friday, as the scandal story started to get more legs.
    Pinskytold the LA Times on Thursday, "It's not my hospital," and added that he thought it was a "bizarre misconception" that people associated him with Las Encinas. He also went on to say, "we make a point of not promoting the fact . . . that we work there."
    When the reporter told Pinsky he was the only physician with a photo on Las Encinas' website home page, Dr. Drew claimed said he was unaware of that.
    The Pinsky bio posted on the websites for his radio show Loveline and VH1's Celebrity Rehab , however, stated:
    "He is currently the Medical Director for the Department of Chemical Dependency Services at Las Encinas Hospital, a world-renowned psychiatric facility in Pasadena known for treating celebrity patients"
    Very curious!
    Little Bill: You'd be William Munny out of Missouri. Killer of women and children!

    Will Munny: That's right. I've killed women and children. I've killed just about everything that walks or crawled at one time or another. And I'm here to kill you!

    I heard about ^^^ that too but never heard or read the full story. I have noticed that the chubby guy from last season isn't on there anymore, maybe he raped the 16 yr old.

    Nevermind, a 14 yr old patient was raped by a 16 yr old patient. Here's a link to the story http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?se...les&id=6343176


    Check it out. I think it's hilarious that the end of the article says this

    "A previous version of this story said actor Gary Busey was a patient on Dr. Drew's Celebrity Rehab. Busey was in fact a mentor on the show not a patient.)"
