For the first time we are invited behind the closed doors of a celebrity rehab clinic to witness nine celebrities as they confront their emotion and physical demons in an attempt to kick their habits.
It's the infectious story that dominates the front pages of every celebrity magazine and newspaper - "Lindsay Crashes Car", "Britney Goes Beserk", "Nicole arrested on drugs suspicion". The rich and famous seem to be on a downward spiral of drugs and alcohol addiction and the public has become hooked on the drama. But once the celebs check in for treatment at their exclusive clinics, the private gates are closed and we never get to see what happens next.
Enter Dr Drew Pinsky, a world-renowned addiction specialist and consultant to the stars, whose client list includes rock legends and Hollywood actors alike. Drew has allowed unprecedented and exclusive access to his facility in Southern California and to the elite group of addiction experts based there, to film a full course of rehab treatment with nine celebrities.
While the patients may be famous and accustomed to VIP treatment in their daily lives, here they are in for an unpleasant reality check. From the rock star hooked on heroin to the pill-popping movie star, each of these famous addicts will be forced to surrender themselves to the intense process of detox and treatment.
With cameras present 24/7 Celebrity Rehab captures the roller-coaster of emotions that come with the process of withdrawal and eventual recovery from addiction. This is gripping television that follows a process that could change, and even save, the lives of nine celebrities on the edge.
