Drug & Alcohol Rehab Centers Are Celebrities’ Hotels Or Hot Spots March 11, 2008

Drug and alcohol rehab centers are the new celebrity “hot spots,” not for serious help with overcoming addictions but to repair a tarnished public image.
Too many celebrities use addiction treatment rehab as a PR tactic. They minimize the consequences of substance abuse and make rehab look like a quick and easy process.
Overcoming addiction is not glamorous. When you see a paparazzi shot of Lindsay Lohan at the Cirque Lodge, she looks like she’s spending a day at the hotel spa. You don’t see the ugly side of rehabilitation—the physical pain of withdrawal or the emotional agony of facing up to the bad things you’ve done.
There is nothing cool or admirable about being an addict, no matter how much the media tries to make it look that way.
