The second season of the Celebrity Rehab spin-off Sober House is set to premiere on VH1 on Thursday, March 11 at 10/9c. Read about it in the press release below, and check out the cast, which combines patients from Celebrity Rehab and Sex Rehab.
Addicts enter rehab as an emergency measure geared at saving their lives. But what happens after the twenty-one days of intensive, in-patient treatment are complete? Sober House with Dr. Drew chronicles the all-important transitional period beyond the safety of rehab when the real work begins and patients initiate their move back into society. World-renowned addiction specialist Dr. Drew Pinsky facilitates the continued path to healing for several of his most challenging patients in eight new episodes of Sober House with Dr. Drew. The new season is set to premiere on Thursday, March 11 at 10pm.
A sober living house is an interim step on the path to sobriety where addicts can live in a supervised and sober environment with structure and rules, i.e. mandatory curfews, chores and therapeutic meetings. In this show, celebrity addicts, most of whom have spent the better part of their lives in the throws of addiction, will learn how to essentially start their lives over from the ground up. In many cases, successfully maintaining sobriety requires patients to alter everything about their previous lives when they were actively addicted to alcohol and other drugs. This could include changing jobs, eliminating friends and even abandoning loved ones who are deemed toxic to their sobriety.
Dr. Drew and his staff will keep a watchful eye over all that goes on at the Sober House. Throughout the course of the experience, patients will have the opportunity to meet with Dr. Drew in both one-on-one and group counseling sessions in an effort to understand and solidify their sobriety.
In the end, we will witness the real life struggles of these celebrity patients whose sobriety hangs by a thread as they experience the pressures of daily life outside of rehab. Dr. Drew and his team will strive to give the patients the tools they need to maintain sobriety when they leave the house and return to the public eye of their celebrity lives.
Cast below!

Jennifer Gimenez (Sober House)
Jenn Gimenez is a model and actress. She has appeared in music videos for Tupac Shakur, Babyface and Mick Jagger as well on the big-screen in films such as Blow, Vanilla Sky, and Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle.

Known as one of the original “Bad Boys” of the league, he also developed an outlandish persona of multi-colored hair, dozens of tattoos and earrings and garnered the nickname, “The Worm.” As his career wound down, however, he soon became more famous for his wild behavior—affairs with Madonna, a drunken marriage to Carmen Electra that was annulled after 10 days, and out-of-control parties that often ended with the arrival of the police. In 2008, he was arrested for a domestic violence charge. He is a binge drinker who feels he has his alcohol abuse “under control”. Dennis was court ordered to go to rehab, and after completing treatment in the third season of Celebrity Rehab, Dennis continues his recovery in Sober House.
Heidi Fleiss (Celebrity Rehab 3)
Known as the “Hollywood Madam,” in 1997 Heidi was convicted in connection with her prostitution ring with charges including procuring and tax evasion. Her ring reportedly had numerous famous and wealthy clients. She was sentenced to 37 months in prison for tax evasion (the pandering charges were dropped), but served just 21. Her original three-year sentence prompted wide outrage at her harsh punishment, while her customers had not been punished. Since getting out of prison Heidi has moved to Nevada where she lives in the desert with dozens of exotic birds. Dr. Drew treated Heidi for a severe addiction to methamphetamines in Celebrity Rehab 3, and now Heidi continues her journey toward sobriety in Sober House.

Soon afterwards it was learned that her bad behavior was caused by her drug ?addiction to crystal meth, which Dr. Drew felt should be addressed immediately. Had they been aware of this from the beginning, Dr. Drew would have had her tackle her drug addiction before tackling her sex addiction. After successfully completing Celebrity Rehab, Kari Ann now continues her journey at the Sober House.
Kendra Jade Rossi (Sex Rehab)
Model/dancer Kendra moved to Southern California in her early 20′s and quickly became a superstar in adult films. She’s been a darling of the tabloids and linked to Hollywood’s rich and famous, using this notoriety to get out of porn and into feature dancing, but at the same time she fell into heavy alcohol use. Kendra left porn altogether eight years ago and married musician Lukas Rossi. She now manages his career and runs an animal rescue.

This is a great show and my best to the people who are there to put themselves out here for all to watch! Especially Stephen Adler and Mike Starr who are battling HEAVY addictions. My heart is there for all the cast who is trying to get their life back together!!!Everyone is a great inspiration for others in similar life styles to “do something about it” I could only imagine what it would be like to put your personal business out in public-but I hope all these people remember THEY HAVE ALOT OF FANS ROOTING FOR THEM!!!And THANK YOU!!! STAY STRONG!! the only person in this series no one understands is the MISS TEEN USA. She has a respect problem over and beyond the realms of reality. I have not seen anything positive or inspiring about her and if anything she has threatens others sobriety. That is all worth mentioning about her!! But again to the rest….hope to see you back in your professions and having the good lives you all deserve!!!(Would love to see Sizemore back on the screen!!!!)and the rock and rollers playing their songs!! And so on…
I know Dr.Drew is trying to get people off drugs but this show contradicts this premise. Most of the participants do not belong in a “sober house” setting. Their drug histories are long and many have psychological problems which hinder any progress. It is not possible to turn hard core abusers into non abusers in a short time span. As a Probation Officer I would refer hard core users to long term residential treatment programs. The best were Impact House, Cri-Help and the Tarzana Residential Treatment Center. I hope they are still around. These programs were of 9 to 12 month duration. They had strict rules which had to be followed. I saw chaos and a pattern of tolerance of disruptive behavior in “sober house.” In order to rehabilitate a person he/she must first by habilitated. They must learn to abide by the rules everyday people obey. Simple things like doing chores, showing respect of others and staff and maintaining personal hygiene. Even making your own bed indicates emerging responsibility. Long term programs start with “baby steps” which will eventually lead to developing self respect and inner controls. The miniscule time these residents spent in “sober house” will hopefully show them alternatives. However most are in need of the long term treatment I have mentioned.
I’m watching one of the final episodes with Ms. Jiminez engaging some of the male residents in her own inimitable style which, in my opinion, is totally inappropriate and unprofessional. Dr. Drew seems to have a large cadre of extremely capable people in his midst; yet Ms. Jiminez is making the big bucks as House Manager. Therefore, I’m left to $%^$`~^$`)@`&+^ ume that she’s there to provoke the residents in order to create drama to hook viewers. If that is the case, and that’s certainly how it appears, it’s really unfair to the residents and not the proper way to support their transition to a life of sobriety. She’s relatively new to sobriety herself and as a consequence she simply hasn’t learned or grown enough emotionally or spiritually to be able to handle the pressure of the position she’s in. Humility is key for someone doing that kind of work and she hasn’t lived sober long enough to have learned this. I quit drinking 24 yrs. ago, on my own, with very little help other than therapy. I had serious drug and alcohol problems but never had an intervention, never went to rehab, never lived in a sober house and I didn’t go the 12 step meeting route. I don’t knock any of that; it works for a lot of people but it’s not the only way to get clean and sober and stay clean and sober. I’ve been lucky to have always found the right therapist at the right time and today I’m in a wonderful place. It’s a long, hard road and change does not happen overnight. If you find what works for you and you have a bit of luck and a great deal of patience you’ll find that small, incremental changes are possible. Time is of the essence and IMO, Ms. Jiminez just hasn’t had enough time living sober to be of any help to anyone else. In fact, she could do more harm than good if she’s allowed to continue in that position.
Im not a celeberty but ive struggled with addictions 4 year,s,,I wish i coud get paid 2 go into rehab,,,,Unforthuntly i quit on my own desire 2 stop,,
hollywood is a toilet
What has happened to seth so far is he still clean?
When are people going to wake up and realize that everything you see on so-called “reality” tv is at least partly fake just to get better ratings? Do you honestly believe any reputable rehab would allow losers like that Kari-Ann Peniche (? Or many others over the four seasons) get away with their crap? That’s WHY psychotics like her are on there in the first place, to stir things up! I laugh at how people talk about Dr.Drew as if he’s a great doctor…I myself wonder if he is even a real doctor. I mean, if he`s behind hiring some fame junkie with no real credibility as his house manager on that Sober House mess, then he`s obviously more concerned with ratings than anything else. I don`t know, I just cannot believe so many people just don`t get it. Do you think Operation Repo is also real…LOL
I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
What a lovely day for a 1349516! SCK was here
