Brand New Season, Exclusive To Vibe!
What does a former NBA player, a contestant from America’s Next Top Model, a country music superstar and an ex-Hollywood madam have in common?
They’ve all make the life-changing decision to undergo drug, alcohol and addiction treatment, supervised with great compassion and insight by renowned addiction and recovery expert Dr. Drew Pinsky.
Celebrities joining the good doctor this season include former NBA player and Carmen Electra’s ex-hubby Dennis Rodman who is reluctantly fulfilling a court requirement; America’s Next Top Model alumni Lisa D’Amato; country music superstar Mindy McCready; Mike Starr, the original bassist for the popular 90’s rock band Alice in Chains; sitcom star Mackenzie Phillips, the daughter of The Mamas and The Papas member John Phillips, with whom she had a 10 year consensual sexual relationship; plus former Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss and her former boyfriend, actor Tom Sizemore, whose relationship ended when Heidi pressed charges against Tom for domestic abuse, but have agreed to put their problems behind them and not let their sordid past derail their recovery efforts.
Their inspirational journey begins inside one of Southern California’s private addiction and recovery treatment facilities, the Pasadena Recovery Centre. At every step in this challenging process, viewers at home will witness the real true life struggles of these celebrity patients, who ultimately appear in their sincerest human form as regular people in need of a helping hand and earnestly striving for recovery, health and future happiness.
