Hollywood Drugs
Hollywood seems to have it’s fair share of drug abuse. From Lindsay Lohan to Anna Nicole Smith and many in between, Hollywood seems to stay in the news.
“The drug problem is growing, but what is certainly true is that the media no longer shields celebrities by not publicizing their problems with drugs and alcohol,” said Dr. David Sack, CEO of Promises Rehab Facility in Malibu, Calif. “Similarly, the criminal justice system no longer is ‘star struck’ and prosecutors are no longer reluctant to pursue a celebrity whose drug related behaviors threaten public safety.
Hollywood stars are no different than everyday men and women. They to are getting addicted at alarming rates and no longer receiving special treatment. They are being sentenced to drug addiction treatment centers in record numbers but many seem to leave before the end of their program.
It’s time for the celebrities to show everyone that they can be a role model and finish their treatment and live a drug free life. We know they can do it, many of us just watch and hope.
