Drug Addicts

The purpose of this website is to show that famous and celebrity drug addicts and chronic users are human and hit with addiction just like everyone else. The purpose of this place is not to shame, smear or otherwise hurt the reputation of famous people and celebrities.

The purpose is to show that addiction knows no social-economic boundaries. Rich and famous people, celebrities, powerful corporate leaders, powerful government leaders, the middle class and poorer classes are all affected by drug and alcohol addiction and must deal with it accordingly. This may mean attending rehab, 12-step groups, medical attention and other forms of treatment.

Some may say that drugs, alcohol and addiction are a private matter and should remain private. And this is true. The information that we will talk about here regarding celebrity and famous drug addicts is what has been published publicly and is available to anyone seeking to know the public side of these matters.

Famous people and celebrities are different than others in that there is less of an expectation of privacy. But, this website is not a cheap tabloid devoted to peeking into windows. When we talk about famous drug addicts and celebrity drug users, particularly the ones in rehab, our hope is that others who aren't in the limelight won't feel so isolated.

Doing drugs and alcohol can be a very isolating experience for the addict. "No one knows what I'm going through" is an often heard expression. But if a famous person or celebrity is going through a similar addiction, then this gives others hope that if they can go through this, then so can I.

People feel naturally connected to famous actors and actresses and celebrities and other notables they see in the movie theatres and on TV. Many are naturally curious about how they live their lives. That is why there are so many popular entertainment shows on television.

When a celebrity or famous person falls from the pedestal we put them upon they feel more human to us (sometimes in a good way, and sometimes in a bad way). But knowing who the famous drug addicts and celebrities with addictions are, we instantly have a connection if we are going through rehab ourselves (or know someone who is).

This can help in several ways. First it can inspire hope that if so-and-so can do this, so can I. Second, it is a cautionary tale about not doing drugs and alcohol in the first place. You don't want to end up like so-and-so do you? And, third it is a call to action. Look at so-and-so. This looks like me (or you) and I need to get help (or get you help).

So the benefits of talking about celebrity drug addicts and famous people with addictions are many. The famous and celebrities themselves are not generally shamed because drug addiction can happen to anyone at anytime in any household across the country.

Drug addiction is a medical condition first and a psychological condition second. We don't shame those with diabetes for being diabetic do we? No, we offer treatment and understanding. And in these pages you'll find information on both.
