Synopsis
Celebrity Rehab is the first television series to chronicle the dramatic, unscripted real life experiences of a group of actual celebrities as they make the life-changing decision to enter themselves into a drug, alcohol and addiction treatment program with the sincere desire to achieve true rehabilitation and recovery.
This true account of addiction, healing and redemption is supervised by addiction and recovery expert Dr. Drew Pinsky, Medical Director of the Department of Chemical Dependency Services at Southern California's Las Encinas Hospital and host of the long-running radio and television advice series LoveLine.
The journey begins inside one of Southern California's private addiction and recovery treatment facilities, the Pasadena Recovery Centre, where a group of celebrities make the decision to commit themselves to a legitimate protocol of supervised medical treatment over a period of several weeks.
At every step in the process viewers witness the real true life struggles of these celebrity patients, who in their sincerest human form are regular people in need of a helping hand and earnestly striving for recovery, health and future happiness.
