The 27-year-old British singer-songwriter made no secret of her battle with drugs, alcohol and depression over the course of her short career. But amidst the speculation of how exactly she died—although many would say an overdose seems like the obvious culprit—some are now asking a bigger question: Who’s to blame? The five-time Grammy winner may be remembered best for her hit song “Rehab” where she sang: They tried to make me go to rehab, I said, ‘No, no, no.’ In a previous interview on the British TV show, The Album Chart Show, Winehouse admitted she had a problem and that song represented a plea from family and friends to seek help: I do drink a lot. I think it’s symp...

His death has been attributed to several causes—sepsis, pneumonia, and aspiration among them— but there is little debate over the ultimate cause of his death at the age of 60 years, that being addiction to opioid pain medications. Mr. Conaway reportedly struggled with chronic pain and addiction to pain medications for a number of years. His situation was particularly tragic—living with severe pain that was relieved by nothing save for a substance with the power to destroy him. Such situations are, unfortunately, not uncommon. It is easy to take the position that Mr. Conaway should have avoided pain pills; that his addiction essentially disqualified him from even considering them. I will take that atti...

The most recent debacle? Real Housewife Michaele Salahi has been booted from Dr. Drew’s rehabilitation facility because she doesn’t exhibit any actual addictions. But that never stopped the show’s casting agents before. So it’s time for VH1’s hit show to get its own rehab. Or maybe the network just needs to drop it cold turkey. The show was initially created to treat celebrities with major drug and alcohol addictions. Coincidentally, such people make for great TV. Not that there ever was a purity to the program, but increasingly, people who have questionable addictions are being cast. One patient from last season...

On its face, that principle seems obvious. After all, addiction is a holistic disease, and addiction recovery must be a holistic process. But the unfortunate truth is that too many Buprenex rehabs in Los Angeles make the mistake of emphasizing one dimension of treatment while ignoring the others. In the end, that isn’t a recipe for anything but failure. Buprenex addicts are sick in body as well as in mind. Buprenex rehab, then, must promote both physical and psychological healing. A Buprenex rehab facility that fails to acknowledge that much does a tremendous disservice to its clients and their families. For your own sake, don’t make yourself learn that lesson the hard way. Make today the day you...

On the contrary, the celebrity rehabs that get so much attention in the mainstream media are open to any individual willing to make the commitment to a long-term rehab program. If you want help, it’s out there. If you’re willing to take the first step, you really can get where you need to go. It’s worth noting here that there’s nothing easy about the “celebrity” rehab experience. Addiction is a profoundly personal disease, and addiction recovery always entails a profoundly personal effort. What that means, in practical terms, is that you have to be ready for a fight the day you check into a celebrity rehab center. But no effort you make will ever be more worthwhile. Don’t wait any longer to finally find that out on your own terms....

What I do know is that growing up I felt misunderstood, not appreciated, and needing validation. I didn't feel I was getting it from important people in my life. They had their problems, their own concerns. I felt sort of invisible...."Drinking made me feel not as miserable. It was a great Band-Aid. It progressed, but it didn't stop me in my career. I've done well, and I was an alcoholic at the height of my career, when I really hit. When alcohol really got me by the throat, I quit stand-up comedy. Acting was easier. Easier to stay sober most of the time, do my work, and know I'm off for three days....."There were tip-offs, even way early.

I'm so jealous of folks being able to see it. I wish, though, that there would be a junky on the show. I hear there's not a single heroin addict. What gives, VH1? Scared of the challenge of fixing a junky?

Or,something like that.  by UM OK….I’ve gotten somewhat past the whining stage on the med subject. I just had to suck it down that I’ve got to pay full price for them. I checked out different websites (like the one Montel promotes) and still don’t qualify for assistance. And, won’t unless I get me a kid or two and/or become divorced/widowed. So, my super sweet PA   a complete stranger of whom I know absolutely nothing about (have to protect the helpful)  has decided to try to help me get around some of the expense. This person has figured out a way to prescribe double the dosage of one pill so that I can cut it in half and have a two month supply. And, this stranger has prescribed a... bipolar chicks blogging blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1001060 Fri, 02 Nov 2007 14:01:40 +0100 1001060
