More on Dr. Drew and Celebrity Rehab....

Troubled 70's pop star Leif Garrett has prompted a war of words between himself and the producers of VH1 reality show "Celebrity Rehab" after accusing them of accelerating his 2010 drug relapse for dramatic effect.
The singer, who has been battling drug abuse for years, checked into the latest season of Celebrity Rehab in a bid to kick his habit, but in a new Los Angeles Times interview, Garrett claims producers encouraged him to relapse in a bid to boost ratings.
He says, "(The producers) asked to get some footage of me using, and I said, 'I haven't been using'. They said, 'We really have to get footage of you using.' Anyway, I was easily talked into showing them."
Scott Acord, vice president of VH1 Communications, has denied Garrett's claim, stating, "The show's producers would never ask anyone to use... PERIOD."
Garrett, 49, filmed his segments for the reality show with actors Eric Roberts and Jeremy London.
Since the show the singer has pleaded no contest to a 2010 heroin possession charge and entered court-ordered rehab.

this is a common mentality among some 12 steppers (In fairness not all) He says you can never recover from heroin use but I have also heard that about meth. it is simply not true. It does take some work to get past an addictive behavior and in my case it did require getting away for a while for medically supervised rehab because i did reel a strong physical attachment to the stuff that was hard to get past initially. But to tell people this, particularly when they are really struggling is really irresponsible. It is a very disempowering and nihilistic out look and it alarms me that this guy is using his medical credentials to spout such nonsense. There is also an arrogance to it that infuriates me. i know a woman who in addition to going to rehab went to church every day. It seemed to really help her. But for very good reason you dont hear doctors saying that uless you go to church all the time you can never recover. Yet this guy can assume without evidence that because someone has not recovered his way, they are a junkie who will die.
