Side Hustle - Substance Abuse Counselor

One of the most rewarding careers, full-time or part-time is being a substance abuse counselor. It's an awesome way to make an intangible contribution to our communities; in this day and age, when most of our youth treat drugs like tic tacs. Click here and here if you're interested. Below are pics of some celebrities who've been "getting" some form of substance abuse help (in Rehab), in one form or another. If only normal folks could afford Promises or Cirque ........................

For those of you into reality television there's also the celeb-wreck that is Celebrity rehab with Dr Drew. Substance abuse is a real serious problem, whether it involves abusing prescription medications or just smokinig crack. It affects and destroys families everyday. We applaud substance abuse couselors for making a difference in their communities, or at Promises...........

Amy Winehouse
Lindsay Lohan
Eva Mendes
Britney Spears

And is she? or Isn't she? People Magazine is reporting that Kristen Dunst entered rehab this week(the exclusive spa, ahem, Cirque Lodge Treatment Center). Her rep says not so...................hmmmm.... denial is a river in Egypt.

Kristen Dunst

And not to be outdone.......Pat O'Brien re-entered rehab today..... The insider issued a statement earlier today, saying "O’Brien and his doctors felt this is the best course for maintaining his sobriety.” Good Luck!!

It's so sad that drug abuse and addiction has consumed so many lives and affected innocent children. And what is the deal with these Hollywood types? If I had the money and power to actually help those in need , I wouldn't be drinking myself into a stupor every night. I will definitely check out your links :)

I agree Lady.

But seriously what is up with Kirsten Dunst..? Nobody likes her.

And Eva Mendez? Definitely didn't think she did that stuff. Wow.

Ditto to you lady languge. I think they have way too much time on their hands......boredom and trust funds don't go so well together. Knikki, i was shocked to hear about Eva Mendes too....... i guess nothing is shocking in hollywood these days.

People abuse substances such as drugs, alcohol, and tobacco for varied and complicated reasons, but it is clear that our society pays a significant cost. The toll for this abuse can be seen in our hospitals and emergency departments through direct damage to health by substance abuse and its link to physical trauma. Jails and prisons tally daily the strong connection between crime and drug dependence and abuse. Although use of some drugs such as cocaine has declined, use of other drugs such as heroin and "club drugs" has increased. Even celebrities have no escape on this. There are already a lot of celebrities who end up in the rehab centers to recover from addiction.

Celebrities, especially pop stars post that intangible idea that it is okay to do drugs, especially, for their following.

Kids engage into it, because they see it is okay, they see it all around.

I think we should try to resolve the core problems at hand, one of it is the media.
