Celebrity Rehab

The new reality show Celebrity Rehab is depicting treatment for drug and alcohol abuse in an inpatient setting on a cable television channel every week. The show in essence is casting a negative shadow on the recovery process because it reaches many households that see the treatment process the producers what them to see. In turn, the public generalizes the Celebrity Rehab experience to be the standard treatment protocol, experience, and environment prescribed by all other drug rehabilitation facilities. The addicted individuals seeking treatment on Celebrity Rehab are subjected to constant surveillance during a time that should be intensely private and confidential so the addict can honestly address the underlying causes of his or her addiction. Cliffside Malibu believes the patients are exploited for the sake of sensationalism to garner ratings. Two key examples in which Celebrity Rehab misrepresents the drug and alcohol rehabilitation process are the horrendous detoxification conditions witnessed, as well as, the sterile physical setting where the patients receive their treatment.

Celebrity Rehab portrays the detoxification process as one that requires intense suffering. The patients’ needs during that time were not addressed in a loving way. In fact, the process itself was punitive. At Cliffside Malibu we treat our clients with the dignity and respect they deserve. Our dignity and respect philosophy begins with a medically supervised comfortable detoxification process. Our clients personal addiction internist will help them overcome their physical addiction by assessing the appropriate protocol to follow based on the client’s substance abuse pattern of use. The personal addiction internist will then make certain that each individual is medically safe and absolutely comfortable during the duration of the detox. Our detox model is the polar opposite of the medieval methods employed on Celebrity Rehab.
