Jason, you really could be on the treadmill rather than lighting up smoke after smoke. Janice, listening to others as they have ended up in rehab. for multiple reasons, may increase your awareness in others’ vulnerability. Frankie, behaving like a parent is harder for some adults, your reactions to each and every comment shows you haven’t acted like a parent to your daughter. Lief, we all got stories to tell, I want you to be stronger. You have it in you.
I’d like to direct this comment to one of the courageous persons I’ve had the pleasure to call one of my favorite actors, Mr. Eric Roberts. You sir, have great courage to not only face your powerlessness and confront your addiction head on, but to allow the public to view the process while you undergo this monumental task. I shed tears with you as you did a one-on-one with Dr Drew and felt your “humaness” through the medium (tv). I have demons of my own that I battle day to day. It’s unfortunate for us who have been exposed to this lifestyle, and I wish I had the option of getting Dr. Drews’ method of maintaining sobriety with you. But I’m not a celebrity, just merely human and this society has a way of letting you know “your place in life”. Mr. Roberts I’ve been viewing your work for quite some time and due to your honesty and bravery regarding your private battles, of which YOU did not need or have to do regardless of what the public posts in the news, I will make it a point to exalt your work even more. I love you for your openess and fearlessness of showing us YOU ARE HUMAN. I enjoyed your performance in the “Best of the Best” and “The Expendables” immensely.
IM SO UPSET AFTER WATCHING EPISODES OF SEASON 4,I JUST DONT GET WHY ARE WHITE PEOPLE SO IMPORTANT IN THIS WORLD THAT NO MATTER WHATS GOING ON OR WERE THEY ARE OR WHO SEES THEIR ACTIONS,NOTHING IS CHANGING EVEN ON REAL TV,THEY ARE ALL RACEST EVEN DR DREW AND HIS STAFF AND THE PRODUCERS,IM SO HURT THAT KNOW ONE CAN SEE ANY OF THE DISRESPECT THAT FRAKI HAS RECIEVED!YES SHE IS LASHING BACK SHE IS IN THE MIST OF A CREATURE THAT WAS CREATED BY SATIN HIMSELF!EVERY DAY THAT I LIVE AND OBSERVE ITS SO EVEDENT THAT THE CAUCASIAN RACE IS STILL LIVING IN AN IGNORANT STATE OF MIND THAT GOES BACK TO THE BEGINNING OF TIME AND AS TIME IS GOING BY IM GROWING A HATE IN MY HEART FOR THEM!!EVERY DOG WILL HAVE HIS DAY THE FATHER OF THE CAUCASIAN RACE GOT HIS DAY WHEN HE WAS THROWN OUT OF HEAVEN!YOU DONT HAVE THE SAME GOD AS THE REST OF THE WORLD!AND IF YOU DO I KNOW HE IS ASHAMED OF YOUR IGNORANCE,THE DAY WILL COME WHEN THIS RACE WILL BE ERELIVENT TO THE HUMAN RACE!!!!!
i think jason davis needs a daily massage, it would help him greatly. it helped bob hope, he was almost 100yrs. before he died. massage is healthy n relaxing
This comment is directed to the ex-supermodel Ms. Janice Dickinson, I believe her name is. I honestly don’t remember cause I am not impressed with individuals who pride themselves on their beauty and others lack thereof. Which is pertinent in this case with the “ex-model” who appears to dispel the fact that its no longer about her. I constantly hear from Janice about “her” and “him” and “they” when it comes to complaints, but she scarcely says “I” especially in reference to her addiction and her sobriety attitude and behavior. I don’t know if she is aware of the “I” program and keeping the focus on “you”, and not on others that you rely on as your support group. She really irked me when Shelly conducted the morning group about “powerlessness” and “la Model” had the gaul to point out “Rachels” inability to come to terms with the 1st step. As if SHE has already. Then Janice went on to keep addressing, after Shelly’s statements, whether Rachel understood this concept and that, as if SHE was on point with her issues. In summary, what is needed of the attention hungry past dated model is to confront HER issues and come to terms with what motivates her addictive behavior. You can stop “using” and still be an “active addict”. If your attitude and behavior persists as it did when you were using, … where’s the CHANGE. And some words for ALL OF YOU. “GOD GRANT ME THE S E R E N I T Y TO A C C E P T THE THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE, (WHAT PEOPLE SAY, THINK, DO OR DON’T DO)… C O U R A G E TO CHANGE THE THINGS THAT I CAN (YOUR REACTION TO THE ACTION, MEANING: MAKE IT POSITIVE OR NON-ACTIVE), … AND THE W I S D O M TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE. KEEP THIS AS YOUR MANTRA AND YOU JUST MIGHT MAKE IT TO GRADUATION. WE’LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS BEYOND THAT POINT WHEN WE GET THERE.
Jeremy, We are all praying for you we have faith you will have a full recovery. You have many people that are proud of you! We are sending you love! From your biggest fans in Hooker OK!!!
It kind of makes me sad all of the comments that are negative about people on the show this isn’t a popularity contest these are addicts, there are issues that made them that way to try and self medicate de-toxing isn’t pretty it’s real and raw so to make nasty comments like we are in high school is rather ignorant. Sometimes people find pleasure in another persons pain so they don’t have to deal with their own issues it puts the other person in the spotlight or in this case the drama seat…compassion goes a long way but for addicts that isn’t always an issue they can deal with or handle it’s easy to get on a negative bandwagon it’s called re-hab for a reason.
Hi i just have a question for jason…i saw on one of the episodes your legs..my boyfriend has the same exact thing and no doctors knows what it is, i saw you are diabetic and he is too..i just wanted to see if you knew what it was called or if its just something from the diabeties i can say that when he was younger he didnt take care of himself..could it be that
Shelly is clearly aneorexic and Dr. Drew and other
Staff appear blind to her conditon.
What a joke. These people aren’t dealing with their addictions as long as they are sucking on those disgusting, highly addictive cigarettes.
Dr. Drew,
I was really moved by the reunion of Eric and his stepson. Eric is such a awesome artist. ( I have a crush on him) He is so totally handsome and understated. I am especially following his progress…he deserves to be well and live a full life. His son is so handsome and willing to have a relationship with his dad. I was so happy that Eric is surrounded by the love of his family. I wish him well. He may never have the recognition from his peers in hollywood but the important people in his immediate family are true fans of him and his professional accomplishments. Y. Abdullah
I typically dont feel sorrow for celebrities. I see people everyday with troubles. They have been abused and been through more trauma than any celebrity out there. But I see Janice Dickenson and I have watched her modeling shows and I feel so sad for her. I think she is an amazing woman and I am gonna pray for her. I pray she comes out out her addictions and is stronger than she ever thought she could be. I think she can be a great role model for women all over. I want her to know that she should feel no shame as a mom. She is very courageous for going in public and accepting and feeling remorse for what she has done. I wish my mom could do that. Maybe some pain i have gone through and battle daily would go away. Hang in there Janice!!
After every episode it says go to VH1 and talk to the clients. HOW? I really want to chat with Jason because I knew has grandparents. I was a secretary for Martin Freeman who was Marvin Davis’ best friend. I work with Barbara Davis in Denver when the carousel ball started there. I want they guy to know that I think he’s funny, bratty, a is so very special. I’m addict too, in recovery but it is a rough road and I was hoping to be a support to him because he would know I’m serious and not out to be anything but a supportive friend. (Since he’s still so superficial, I may be in my forties but I look damn good, but I work one day at a time remaining sober. Could someone pass this message to Jason Davis for me?
I love Leif Garrett. I am pulling for him so hard. I wish I knew him personally so I could be there for him. Stay strong Leif, stay strong. I believe in you!!
I JUST WANTED TO SAY I AM RECOVERING AND EVERY DAY I WANT TO CHANGE MY MOOD AND I FIGHT IT AND I HAVE BEEN CLEAN 2 YEARS AND 6 YEARS BEFORE I MOVED FROM UK TO VEGAS AT 23 BUT IT STARTED WHEN I WAS 11 AND JUST WANTED TO SAY KEEP COMING BACK COS IT WORKS I WANT TO SAY SO MUCH MORE BUT ANOTHER DAY I WILL
i am so sad that leif has let this get so bad, i remember growing up with him…………he has so much to give to us, i myself a recovering alcoholic, wanted my father to see me clean, at least once before he died, i was sober for 3 months, when i lost him……drinking now would only be a slap in his face………….its what keeps me sober.
hi my name is joe loomis i just want to say i know what your going threw ilost my son 2 years ago to drugs i dont drink or do drugs but i been arouned people who do it is sad i been playing music for 35 years and seen alot but when my son past away it killed me inside i wish he was here with me i miss him so much. you guys are doing great docter drew is great man i wish i could come on there and talk to them people and show them pictures of my son what drugs did to him well hang in there .
I have always wondered how effective a public rehabilitation program could be?
doesn’t seem to work with my beliefs that for sure. Addiction treatment should be a private affair. If someone wants to talk about it after they are clean, thats great and could potentially help others not go down the same path. But really how open is someone going to be in a counseling session when they know that they are being recorded?
Alcohol Rehab
I am an avid watcher of Celebrity Rehab as it is something that I have dealt with in my personal life. Most of the time that I have been in rehab there has been a certain comradery between the clients that I do not see on the show. It seems to me that this Jason Davis(whoever he is) is a chubby little child with a terrible personality that brings out the worst in all of everyone. I know that Janice DIckinson is a diva but she is totally not used to not having her way and people need to take that into consdieration when dealing with her. I personally love her because she doesn’t take anyone’s BS. This Frankie persona isn’t even a celebrity and she has a bad attitude to begin with. I wish you the best Dr. Drew because as you said this group has been extremely difficult for you and I am a fan of yours as well. I am going to school to be a counselor in drug abuse addictioin as it is a road that I have been down an eventually becoming an addictionologist. I know that it is going to take a lot of work but it is something that I am passionate about and I believe that to be an important part of choosing one’s career. I mean after all a person has to love what they do or it becomes a mundane job that you eventually don’t wan’t to go to. Anyway just wanted to put my two cents in and I wish everyone there at the Pasadena Recovery Center the best of luck. Patients and staff alike. You are the man Dr. Drew. I hope to have the same degree you have one of these days
Janice Dickinson has obviously been betrayed and abused at the deepest level a soul
can be betrayed. I pray that she will find the space within herself to allow for the
development of a true compassion for herself. She’s bright, beautiful and extremely
talented. However, the world she has been connected to with her history of abuse
has compounded her difficulties and has overshadowed her ability to trust. When she’s
ready to surrender to her higher power, only then will her transformation and healing
begin. She’s courageous beyond most and to allow the world to see her wounds speaks
volumes of her sincere heart to want to get well. It’s only with a sincere heart that one
can approach true healing of emotions and I believe that all things are possible to
them that believeth. Sincerely, Jane
you got a lot of direction
you need to quit acting like a child towards people on the show, if it was me on their id put you in your place and thats TKO’d pal, you need to grow up and quit acting like a child, your a grown man, do what grown men do, act mature k
I can’t stand this season of celebrity rehab. As a recovering addict I feel that the show and Dr Drew reinforce the deadliness of addiction. But with all of the bickering this season, especially Janice, it is extremely hard to focus on recovery. Despite it’s positive message I am afraid that I can no longer watch this show.
This season seemed extremely short compared to the others. I’m pulling for everyone to take recovery serious and for their opportunity to live healthier and happier lives. And for Jason Davis, I’m hoping he changed his playmates and his playground to give his life a chance. Good luck and blessings to everyone. Keep up the good work, and thanks to Dr. Drew, VH1, and the important members of the staff @ the treatment center.
I watched 2 episodes of the show for the first time. AS a retired Social worker with 22 years sober, I can honestly say that I am stunned. I have never seen a more ineffective treatment program-particularly with this group of patients. Staff is split; lack of consequences including immediate discharge make it unsafe for those in the group who want to get real and to get sober. Dr. Pinsky, right now, you are the biggest co-dependant and enabler. This group is getting what it is paying for-which is nothing. How special!! I used to be special too but in 22 years I have weathered much, despite my celebrity, I have never needed to hand in a bar. Last year my mother died and one month later I was diagnosed with Stage 3 Breast Cancer-I am still sober. it works if ya work it and it is a WE program. Get rid of the trust fund sociopath, Lief (he knows what is going on) and the black chick (BPD and staff splitter). Yes, they will likely die, but give the gift of life to the others. That is your responsibility. Best of luck! or make it happen!
I just watched my first two episodes of Celebrity rehab. it is clear that when money talks, appropriate clinical assement, treatment planning and clear referral WALK!! Good LUCK-you all will need it-or ANOTHER RELAPSE or two if you live that long! BTW, this comes from a wealthy (but not longer special) 22 year sober retired social worker and former media star! I quit my job in the media spotlight for a better life without drugs and alcohol!
I have read that Eric Roberts is going to be on E! discussing Kate Gosselin. How is this going to be a productive part in his rehab, trashing a mother of 8. This man should not be allowed to do this show while in rehab. He should clean up his own life before trying to tell someone else how to do theirs. I have no respect for him at all.
Dear Dr. Drew
I am writing because honestly Shelly’s lack of compassion and her hard nose superiority complex is detrimental to your clients… watching her say f*** you f*** you f*** you behind a closed door because her abrasive manner with Frankie disgusts me. Frankie may have her reservations by not deleting the numbers from her phone but she was correct in saying that just because Shelly has 14 years clean and Frankie has 18 days makes her any less capable of relapsing is crap. My sponsor who had 18 years clean not only relapsed but is dead as a result. My other sponsor has 3 years less clean time than I do today.
Shelly needs to check herself. Her attitude stinks. If she is tired of working with addicts GET ANOTHER JOB!!!
I have lived in a recovery house 1 year the first time after detox then at 3 and a half years relapsed for 5 months before returning to the same recovery house for 10 months. My story is just as ugly as everyone else’s..started with pot…graduated to cocaine with mda, mushrooms lsd etc. At 40 triggered by my mother’s death I became a heroin and crack addict. I spent my 42nd and 43rd birthdays in prison. Up until the age of 41 I never had a criminal record and went from 0 to 53 charges. I distroyed my life, my daughter’s life and my family endured the humiliation of my face on crime stoppers amonst other things (my thieving lying etc.)
I worked in a mens recovery house, I have worked in a womans recovery house. When I was no longer able to deal with the constant needs of the addicts in my care I stopped working with addicts. In the last 10 years in and out of recovery I have lost at least 10 friends to the disease.
Shelly disturbs me. She really needs to check herself. I have 4 years clean (I should have 8 but I relapsed for 5 months watching my father die) Does Shelly thing she is any safer in her 14 years of recovery than I am in my 4 or how about is she better than my dead first sponsor who had 18 years?? NOT!! Her attitude towards wanting to kick Leif out was another show of her inability to show compassion and or empathy for the addict or for the disease. She makes me sick. Sorry I think the work you do is amazing. Your results speak for themselves. I find the celebrities that come on your show extremely brave for going public with their disease and the raw feelings that come in early recovery.
I would be lying if I said the thought of using have completely left my head. There was a time I could not watch your show without being triggered, but today I can watch, I can empathize with the disease and I am grateful each and everyday for something…especially not using.
Please consider removing Shelly. If I was in treatment with a holier than thou counselor I don’t think I would be clean today. Shelly makes you want to use. As far as removing those numbers from your cell….well I kept that reservation for quite some time. I deleted the numbers when I was ready. I knew it was a reservation, I was taught that. But I believe like Frankie said..the numbers won’t get her loaded… if she wants to get high nothing will stop her from getting new numbers. I had numbers in my head I thought I would never ever forget because I called them so often each day for years. But even those numbers get erased from your mind …when you are ready. Just like your cell phone.
Get rid of Shelly. She even disgusted me when Jason needed to have his arm tended to and her unprofessional grimacing and drama of having to lie down after tells me she needs to leave the show. Where is her empathy? If she can’t handle the heat without her controlling attitude she should not be there. Even walking out on group sessions because Rachel challenges her or Eric. Having 14 years clean does not give her a degree or make her any better that anyone else. You know who has the most clean time? It is who ever woke up first this morning
i would just like to give a shout out to all the recovering addicts on the show.. it takes alot of courage, strength, to really overcome the thing that has taken over your body. i give props to all of you on the show. the whole time i was watching tonight i really wanted to just shout and hope that’d they’d hear me especially jason davis that we love you! we are here on the other side cheering for you and waiting for you to come to the greener grass. you are loved and we do care, all of us all around the world has a spot in our hearts filled for you.
Mr Jason Davis,
I understand and relate completely about the need to be nurtured, but in my experiance as nice as it is to be nurtured, it is even nicer to be the nurturer.
God Bless

Celebrity Rehab is a good thing! I believe it is succeeding for the talented & bright light individuals who so graciously share it.
Today the reason I watched the live show was to see is Leif Garrett,had made it this far on to the stage??My heart went out to him.I have my own glimpse of what the mind and other fragmented pieces can to ones living breath even,glad to see him sitting there. He must get insight to how much support he has,even if it is not seen. Power of more is strong!
Thanks Dr. Drew for how you take care of your clients and all others that have been on the program you are all wonderful and thank you for who you are.
Oh yeah!!!!!!!!ohjoy! KARI ANN IS GOING BACK INTO “CELEBRITY RE-HAB” AND WE CAN HAVE HER IN OUR LIVING ROOMS ONCE AGAIN. TOO BAD SHE JUST MISSED THIS LAST GROUP..
I agree with Anastacia that Shelly is ineffective as a counselor and needs to go. Her tactics and “techniques” are counterproductive. She plays right into the dramas of the residents. She is like a big whining baby. How is that helpful to the recovering addict? We need to see more of Loesha, who actually has boundaries and a much better sense of self than Shelly, making her much more effective. Shelly may have 14 years clean, but she has the maturity of an 8 year old. What was up with her “passing out” when taking care of Jason? Why does Drew let her get away with bad mouthing and goading the residents? She is the weak link in the team. Frankie hit a nerve when she called her out about their difference of opinion about deleting phone contacts, and actually, if you listen to what Frankie was saying, she was right. Shelly lacks empathy, is clearly burned out, always looks exhausted, and seems to be wasting away physically. She seems unwell on many levels. I was surprised to read that Bob Forrest would team up with her to start their own counseling center. He seems so much more grounded than her. Shelly needs a permanent vacation. Just sayin’
