Drug Rehab

For many celebrities, at least one stint in a drug rehab appears to be the new “di rigeur.” One can hardly read a magazine or watch an entertainment report today without learning of yet another famous face that has either been court ordered, convinced by “friends,” or decided for themselves that the party is literally over and it is time to spend a month drying out in drug rehab. The shock value of admitting to an addiction has been inoculated so often over the past several years that even gossip magazines and pundits of pop culture feel comfortable openly recommending that certain celebrities finally surrender and enter a drug rehab for help. It has become almost a “red badge of courage” for even “D-List” entertainers to try and grab another fifteen minutes of fame by “revealing” their struggles with substance abuse and alcohol.
The good news is that those who are struggling with substance abuse and/or alcohol are seeking help through drug rehab. The secrets, lies, manipulations, and denials that have caused many who suffer to face serious consequences as a result of their addiction are no longer necessary. Addiction has become a part of our culture and the idea of entering drug rehab is viewed as a positive step – not a shameful bit of business to be covered up by close friends and business associates. Fortunately, the plan of entering drug rehab for help has become so positively advocated by healthcare professionals and so publicly showcased by celebrities, that “normal” everyday folks are becoming increasingly more comfortable with the idea as well. Thus, as our general population increasingly continues to view drug rehab as a “good thing,” the concept of entering treatment itself becomes more and more accessible to the population at large.
This is indeed a very good thing.
