00:00journey unlike anything you've seen before for six recovering addicts the safety of rehab is over
00:07you're used to me being all over you guys in a residential program this is not that if you
00:12thought sober living meant no drugs and alcohol think again i have the needles and i have the
00:19heroin i'm still completely changed with heroin i'm in my hideout a secret location if you guys
00:26go to the corner of figueroa and wilshire i will give you further information this isn't rehab
00:34this is real life and what these people have on the line is everything
00:52a little over a year ago we did something that had never been attempted before we explored the
00:58dark side of celebrity what happens when drugs and alcohol mix with fame and fortune watch this one
01:04dude this is why i'm gonna probably die doing this okay i just scratched the itch that was in my
01:12brain thank you he followed several celebrities as they entered a residential drug treatment center
01:17where the hell are we the result was an experience called celebrity rehab that experience revealed
01:23just how hard the road to recovery is you smuggled drugs into the place i said no i did not
01:30take it back
01:33you you you're not a participant you're just like us the joy that comes from a sober life and on
01:40the
01:40sober living i recommend it for you and i recommend it for you and guess what i recommend it for
01:46you
01:47staying sober is a daily battle 93 of all inpatients stay sober then it dips to 10 when they transition
01:55to home so there's an intermediate stage that recovering addicts must get through they do this
02:01by moving into what we call a sober house at sober house addicts have one foot in treatment
02:06and one foot in the real world there will be boundaries and rules we must follow our tours there's
02:13like rules and we'll go through it together there will be chores for them to do they'll be required
02:17to get a job i can offer you ten dollars an hour we will have a curfew each night we're
02:23going to
02:23escort you all right do the show right i know i know the guidelines there's no sex no acting out
02:29violently with each other and of course no drugs or alcohol you need to not drink and not take drugs
02:36and you need to get your together got that that's it that's the bottom line
02:42the sober house is led by jennifer jimenez an accomplished actress who started the movies
02:47vanilla sky and blow she's also a recovering drug addict jen will have a tough job because she has to
02:54enforce the rules and help guide a house full of addicts who are just starting their recovery in the
03:00real world it's not my job to be their babysitter my job is to try and enforce the rules will
03:05who
03:05everybody knows from celebrity rehab is back he's the muscle of the house he backs up jen and keeps
03:11everyone in line bob forrest my head counselor and one of the biggest success stories in recovery himself
03:17will make regular visits to the house and actually run a group there these patients have to get used to
03:23the fact that they are now outpatients they're no longer under my continuous inpatient care but make
03:29no mistake they'll be seeing a lot of me i will be continuously in touch and supervising their care i
03:34will
03:34know if anything is going on in the silver house the stakes are high they'll want to party
03:52sadly they'll often relapse this is a junkie that's paranoid that throws this crap burnt tin foil in a
04:00crack light it's insanity at its greatest they will either slip back into the deadly cycle of
04:09addiction i'm drinking in first class see you soon okay i want to go home now just can't handle it
04:17yeah or they will move forward and enjoy the kind of life that each of them deserves a life that
04:24is
04:24sober i'm doing this for me yeah but most of all you know i owe it to my kids because
04:29they
04:30they haven't had a chance to see me sober
04:44they will grow
04:45i'm so sorry i would just do that they will feel like jumping out of their skin
04:50i'm not so stupid like he thinks i am but ultimately they will come to the realization that they are
04:55entitled to a sober life
05:10it's day one of sober living and the patients are arriving from a month of rehab to check into the
05:16sober living house in the hollywood hills these patients have just completed 21 days of treatment
05:21the past new recovery center they've had a week to return home gather their belongings and see
05:26their loved ones and they are now returning to enroll for 30 days of ongoing care in a sober living
05:32environment here in hollywood so uh here we go i'm gonna check myself into the sober house
05:40it's the next chapter next chapter in the shifty saga you can take the long way over there i'm in
05:47no
05:48hurry i'm nervous man i am nervous i shouldn't be because this is the part where i'm getting my
05:57life together but i am i'm nervous you know
06:03well that it goes from rehab to home they're not going to make it i mean there's very few that
06:07can
06:08you know i guess reality is setting them i don't have discipline i don't have structure i have nothing to
06:13even start with i don't know how to live sober you know i have no idea what i'm doing sober
06:19living is
06:20an environment where people go post rehab to live together with other addicts who are newly sober
06:26support each other and confront each other when you slip up the difference between celebrity rehab
06:32which is a residential treatment center and the sober house is people like me doctors are not around
06:36all the time they're not going to see me all the time and that's a shock for them as they
06:39begin to
06:40get some separation and autonomy the good thing about sober living on like rehab is you're kind
06:44of living in the real world and so i'm hoping that i'll be able to learn how to cope without
06:49using alcohol or drugs man i got dealers over here all i do is think about drinking every second of
06:59every
06:59day i've been sober for you know over 30 days now and i want to make sure that i can
07:06live the lifestyle
07:08that i want to live as far as my music is concerned without being high my drug addiction just started
07:15to skyrocket and i started doing what it took to get money for drugs and i became a high-end
07:22escort you
07:24know the title of one of the 50 sexiest women in the world by maxim magazine was now used to
07:29sell me
07:31so i got 22 days of being sober the fears i have is is relapsing 95 of people doing this
07:42through relapse and i don't want to be one of those 95 who do relapse i want to be able
07:49to say i'm one of the
07:50five percent we do make it and do succeed
08:08the hardest turn in my whole life
08:13amber smith from celebrity rehab 2 is a supermodel with long-term opiate addiction
08:19i started modeling at 15 years old i garnered about 300 international magazine covers and sports
08:26illustrated swimwear issues all the while i was heavily addicted to pills
08:34i've been addicted for 16 years straight i've never been off how'd you find the opiates
08:40my mother's been addicted so she gave them to you
08:42um amber is a severe opiate addict opiate addiction has the highest relapse rate
08:50she has to take her sobriety seriously and be very diligent about establishing a sober life
09:13living living houses are run by recovering addicts i have two and a half years in recovery
09:19you. Nice. Just remember if you need anything, let me know. Come in, not forever. And my role
09:25here is teaching them how to live in a sober experience. You know, they're not used to this.
09:30Oh, yeah. I love that you're already like moaning on that one. Everyone's going to get chores.
09:35We rotate every three days. Haddocks aren't too fond of cleaning up after themselves,
09:40making your beds and cleaning the toilets and, you know, doing everything else that the real
09:44world does. This is a clean house. It's a nice house. Yeah. So we work together as a family.
09:48You know, no one wants their freedom curtailed. I want my independence and I want to hit life
09:53sober, but yet I've never been in sober living. I've been in drug living.
10:07Seth Binzer was on Celebrity Rehab 1. Seth readmitted to Celebrity Rehab 2 after a terrible relapse
10:13and ended up on our roof smoking crack. You know, the last year, you know, it's definitely
10:18been a challenge for me to overcome my dark relationship with that drug. Seth is a chronic
10:23relapsing stimulant addict. For Seth, being so close to Hollywood Boulevard, the nightclubs
10:29and the environments where he used to score, there is danger just down the hill. He has
10:34very high hopes to rekindle his life as a father, get the trust of his wife and his son
10:39remains heartbroken. My fear is that Seth will not address some of these fundamental issues
10:43and he'll go out, he'll relapse again. And my ultimate fear is he will die.
10:48I have lots of fears right now. I mean, I just got like a week or two of sobriety. It's
10:52like the disease is still stronger than me at this point. Like I'm on shaky ground. Every
10:56move matters.
10:58Seth is a great guy. He's all fun and games. But I hope as he walks through the doors of
11:02this
11:03sober living, he takes his recovery seriously.
11:11What? Come on, let me in.
11:13Hi. Hi, little one. How are you?
11:16Good to see you.
11:17I know Seth and I've known him for a few years and I know his addiction is really deep. It's
11:22at a very serious point. Most of the people moving in here have a full 21 days of sobriety.
11:27Seth only has a few days. He's pretty deep in it.
11:30No sex in the house. No using.
11:33Man, of course.
11:34If you use three times, you're done.
11:36Three times?
11:37Yeah, I know. It's a nice little lenient there, but I really wouldn't...
11:40I'm going to try not to use at all.
11:42Sober houses have rules. We have to have them. If not, this house is going to go down quick.
11:47We don't have sex, we don't do drugs, and we don't break the rules. We have something
11:52here we call a strike board in my office. If they break a rule, they will get a strike.
11:59And if they get three strikes, they're out. Come on, kiddo. I'm going to take it back
12:04up.
12:09So...
12:10I don't think Rodney... Oh, what a...
12:13What a gorgeous...
12:14How's it going?
12:15Transfer.
12:16That's what they transfer for.
12:17Is that your room?
12:18Uh-huh.
12:19Right here?
12:19You want to see it? Because you can.
12:21Yeah.
12:22Whose room is this?
12:23That's your...
12:24We get right in there?
12:25Yeah.
12:25Okay, do you see how, like, right here, there's this line?
12:28Right.
12:29All guys, including me, can come in. Any girl comes in here, it's, like, bound for trouble.
12:35Right.
12:35Addicts don't do rules very well. That's not their forte. Addicts will go in any angle
12:42and every way and try to change it through their way. Seth, come out here.
12:47Oh, look at that.
12:48You're not supposed to be in there.
12:50It's all pink. We can't even look and say hi.
12:52You can look, but you can't go in there ever again like that. That line, you can't cross,
12:56dude.
12:56Okay.
12:57Seth was in the house in less than five minutes, and he was already trying to cross the line.
13:02Say we pull something off that you didn't see, right?
13:05You know, if you get away with your s***, it's only going to damage your sobriety.
13:09We're going to start talking about just, like, hanging, like, you know, small...
13:14Kissing a girl.
13:14Kissing a girl, or hanging out with someone, like, when you're already asleep or something.
13:19See this little rulebook? I'm tight with my boundaries.
13:22I know.
13:23And I adore you enough to enforce them.
13:25Right.
13:27I'm going to ask you now, do you have any drugs?
13:29No, I have no drugs. I'm paraphernalia.
13:31Come on, I'm in Hollywood. I can get it all a block away.
13:34Seth does love to play with people. Precious, adorable, smart, intelligent.
13:39Seth also has one of the biggest demons in the world.
13:44Coming up.
13:45Hi, Steven.
13:46Hi.
13:47How are you?
13:47How are you?
13:49Yeah, I haven't even worn those pants in 10 years.
13:55Hey, Dr. Drew, it's Jen.
13:57I have the needles, and I have the heroin.
13:59We have a crisis, and we need you.
14:02Wow.
14:04Before we go into battle here, are you okay?
14:07If I don't feel he needs detox, are you okay with him staying here?
14:10No.
14:18Rodney King is here from Celebrity Rehab 2.
14:21A witness videotaped the officers beating King after a high-speed chase.
14:25I became infamous because of the beating and the riots.
14:28Rodney is a fantastic candidate to benefit from sober living.
14:32You're having down a beer around 11 o'clock.
14:35I mean, you ain't that human.
14:36Rodney desperately dreams of moving beyond the past, moving away from what the perception of him is in the headline.
14:42He wants to be who he is, a human being.
14:45He wants to stay sober, wake up every day sober, enjoy his family, and just be the gentleman that he
14:52actually is.
14:54Hi, how are you?
14:56Oh, pretty good, thanks.
14:57I'm Jennifer.
14:57Jennifer, I'm Rodney.
14:58Hey, Rodney, come in.
14:59Bring your bag in.
15:00All right.
15:01Cool, I'm so excited, your hair.
15:02It's nice and cool in here.
15:03I know, it's nice.
15:04When I walked into the place, it just felt like, you know, okay, you've got another shot at this, and
15:11this is like my last shot.
15:15Have you done this before?
15:17I've done a lot of these before.
15:19Yeah.
15:19But I'm trying to make sure that this one is the last one I'll have to do.
15:23Yeah.
15:24This one here, not court-ordered or nothing like that.
15:27That's a boss.
15:27I'm doing this for me.
15:29You know, I owe it to myself, but most of all, you know, I owe it to my kids because
15:33they haven't had a chance to see me sober.
15:37With Rodney, things aren't always what you expect they're going to be, and I really believe that there's an ability
15:43of Rodney to just come out on top here.
15:46Welcome.
15:47Oh, thanks.
15:47Welcome home.
15:48I'm really excited for you.
15:49All right.
15:49Thanks.
15:58Nikki McKibben, American Idol contestant.
16:01It's one of your rehab, too.
16:05I got back home from American Idol and started doing a lot of cocaine.
16:09My mother showed me how to do that.
16:11This is a pivotal year in Nikki's life.
16:13With the one-year anniversary of her mother's death approaching while she is living in the sober house, this will
16:19be a watershed month for her.
16:20This is a chance to get used to being a sober person in the world.
16:24Nikki, in addition, has the stress of being concerned about and worried about her children who are thousands of miles
16:30away while she focuses on her own sobriety.
16:34We don't want to be here.
16:35We don't want to be here from here.
16:36We really try to...
16:37I'm going to enforce that.
16:38Like, that is a must.
16:39Like, I've known a couple of people recently that just died from her.
16:42One mom died from drug and alcohol.
16:44Oh, really?
16:44It was less than a year ago.
16:45Oh, I'm sorry.
16:45Yeah, so the one-year anniversary of her death is going to be while I'm in here.
16:50So that may be a really hard day for me.
16:52And we will walk you through it.
16:54Okay.
16:55I know this is going to be a really emotional time for Nikki.
16:57I am here to help her in any way she needs.
17:07Hi, Mary.
17:09Mary Carey has joined us from Season 1, Selected Rehab.
17:11After Season 1, Mary Carey did enroll in Sober Living, however, for only a very short period of time.
17:17Since then, she has struggled with her sobriety, and I have wanted her to re-enroll in Sober Living.
17:22As a result, I invited her to join this patient group for 30 days of sober living.
17:27It's time she got serious about her sobriety.
17:32You got some sex toys in that bag?
17:35I know Mary for some time now.
17:37A lot of Mary's fame has been this girl, this, you know, whole character.
17:43And really, like, you get to spend five minutes with Mary, you will fall in love with the real Mary.
17:48Like, there's this tender, sweet soul.
17:51Hi!
17:52You're not there again!
17:54Look at you!
17:55How are you?
17:56Oh, my God.
17:56Hi!
17:57I've been to you forever.
17:58I know, it's been fun!
17:59I'm in your room.
18:00Yeah, I sit in your bed.
18:01Oh, yeah.
18:03One of the fascinating struggles to watch is to see her as Mary Ellen, this young woman,
18:07versus Mary Carey, who is this character she's created for herself,
18:11and how she struggles with those two personas.
18:13And how that's going to happen remains to be seen.
18:15I'm so glad you're doing this.
18:17I'm so glad you're trying.
18:18You know what I mean?
18:19Like, it's huge.
18:20And you look gorgeous.
18:21It's a huge.
18:31All right, here we go.
18:44Coming up, just got a call from Jan at the sober house, and Stephen Adler showed up with
18:48heroin, with syringes, probably loaded.
18:51But Stephen is going to die if this doesn't stop.
18:54Wow.
18:55Yeah.
18:57Yeah!
18:58Yeah!
19:08All right, here we go.
19:11All right, here we go.
19:20Stephen Adler from Celebrity Rehab 2 is in a sober house, and Guns N' Roses invented sex,
19:26drugs, and rock and roll.
19:27And if you want to know where that takes you, Stephen Adler is the poster child for that.
19:34Stephen Adler gave Shelly and me and Bob a very difficult time in treatment.
19:38He has an extreme problem with authority.
19:41Jen will definitely have her hands full being an authority figure to Stephen.
19:44And in many ways, he's just still like an 11-year-old and really rebels against all authority.
19:49For Stephen, so many people in his life have really had it with his disease.
19:53And if he is not able to sustain sobriety, I'm not sure many of the people in his life
19:58would have him back.
20:21The minute Stephen walked in, I knew he was high instantly.
20:25Addicts have a sixth sense.
20:26You know if somebody's high or they're drunk.
20:30You just do.
20:31This is the kitchen.
20:34Everyone's going to be assigned every three days.
20:36You'll switch.
20:37Okay.
20:37All right?
20:38So, like each person will get one day.
20:40Say you'll get clean kitchen.
20:41This is my house.
20:42I want it to remain like this.
20:43That'll be your house.
20:44It's your house, too.
20:45I want to do it.
20:46It's our house.
20:47Exactly.
20:48And we respect those boundaries, which is great.
20:50I know.
20:51You don't have to talk to me like I'm five.
20:52I'm not talking to me like you're five.
20:54There you are.
20:55Stephen's emotions were, like, so up and down.
20:58One minute he was sweet.
20:59The next minute he was snotty.
21:01The minute after that he was kind of loving.
21:03There's way too many things going on with Stephen that I don't find stable.
21:07So I'm going to go through your bags, if you don't mind.
21:09No, I'm just going to stay out for you.
21:10The first thing I have to do is search their bags once they get into the house.
21:14And I am praying to God that there is no drugs or alcohol, because it would be so disappointing
21:20if there was the first day in.
21:22There's that.
21:23I said, I told you.
21:25You're out there.
21:26Oh, ****.
21:27Don't take that.
21:27I didn't know I even had that.
21:31Don't take that yet.
21:32Don't take that yet.
21:32We're just jealous.
21:34The first thing I grab is a pair of pants.
21:37And I get needles.
21:41****.
21:42I didn't even know that was it, because I didn't want those.
21:44Let me check.
21:44There's a good one.
21:45I mean, don't show it on the cameras.
21:47Okay.
21:48I don't want the cameras to check it.
21:51Yeah, I haven't even worn those pants in 10 years.
21:56It's day one in Silver Living, and there's needles in my hands.
22:01And I'm going to search you really quick, kid.
22:09This is not.
22:11Have you used it?
22:13No.
22:13I took my test every time.
22:15Okay.
22:15I knew we had a big problem, and the one thing I needed to do immediately was call Will.
22:20And I needed to do this calmly in order not to rile up Stephen anymore than he already was.
22:27Hey, Will.
22:28Hey, it's Jen.
22:29How are you?
22:31Can you do me a favor?
22:32Could you come over here?
22:34Yeah.
22:36Yeah.
22:38Mm-hmm.
22:39It was fine.
22:42Okay.
22:56I was hoping we were going to get through the first date without any trouble.
23:00The minute I walked in and saw Stephen, I knew something was wrong.
23:04Hi, Jen.
23:04How are you?
23:05I need to talk to you for a second.
23:07All right.
23:07Do you want to go to your room?
23:08Uh, yeah.
23:09Okay.
23:12Okay.
23:13His high is a kite.
23:14I know he is.
23:14I saw that.
23:15His high is a kite.
23:16I don't know where this is from.
23:18In Eagles.
23:18Uh, I'll show you one.
23:20I need you to please immediately test them.
23:22Hold on.
23:23Let's see these.
23:24They've been used.
23:25When he saw those, before I even pulled them out, he said, oh my God, oh my God, I haven't
23:29even worn these pants in 10 years.
23:30I can't believe they're here.
23:31Yeah, right.
23:32Yeah.
23:32His eyes are so panicking.
23:34No, I saw it right when I looked at him.
23:36I was so disappointed and hurt.
23:37Because I just saw him three days ago.
23:39I know.
23:40He realized today.
23:40He looked terrific.
23:43Well, these are new.
23:45But nobody brings needles in if they don't have dope.
23:47Yeah, so it's on him somewhere.
23:49I just don't know if it's in his shoes.
23:50I've checked all his socks.
23:53Oh, there's heroin.
23:54That's when he said it was gone.
23:55Yeah, he was smoking it.
23:56That was a hit.
23:58That's heroin when he was smoking.
24:00Smell it.
24:01Smell it.
24:02It's handling.
24:02You know, I'm going to go through all this stuff,
24:04but I want to search him first,
24:05because if he's got it on him while I'm searching,
24:06I don't want him to hide it somewhere.
24:08And needles are not my favorite thing in the world.
24:10I've had a boyfriend die of an overdose.
24:14And smelling and holding it in my hand and stuff,
24:16and it was just really intense.
24:23What's happening like that, too, brother?
24:25What's up, baby?
24:26You good at you, good?
24:27Yeah, man.
24:34Are you all right?
24:35Mm-hmm.
24:37Uh-oh.
24:37You're not feeling it from the room.
24:39All right.
24:40Steve.
24:41The room situation.
24:42That's it.
24:43I'm going to talk to you.
24:44All right.
24:44All right, buddy.
24:47The strip search.
24:48Did you use today?
24:50Not today.
24:51I don't believe it.
24:51Okay.
24:52One time.
24:53I know.
24:54I know.
24:55But that one time,
24:56you know what that does to yourself, Will.
24:58Check this out.
24:59I'm going to have to go through your stuff.
25:00If you have any s*** in there,
25:02give it to me.
25:03I don't want to find something,
25:04because you're my friend.
25:05I'm telling you that's true.
25:07Here.
25:09You're just done.
25:10Don't tell everybody.
25:11All right.
25:11Come on.
25:12Hey, it's Will.
25:13All right?
25:14I did a strip search with Steven,
25:16and sure enough,
25:17there was another tinfoil caked with heroin.
25:21Now the whole house is unsafe
25:23until Jen and I can establish it.
25:25There are no other drugs,
25:26and we can search the premises.
25:29Is that you, Jen?
25:32Sorry, what?
25:33Yeah, I found another foil
25:35or something else on there
25:37in this top project.
25:38Did you test him?
25:40No.
25:41He can't piss.
25:42I did a strip search.
25:43Can't pee.
25:44I just didn't appear on there.
25:45And get him away from the rest of the group
25:47and have him in the room
25:48and tell him to know what happened.
25:50Like, there's no tolerance for that.
25:52Yes.
26:09Hey, Will, we need to get through.
26:11Is there any way to get some Tylenol or some aspirin?
26:14Can you do me a favor, though,
26:15until I get done with this?
26:16Yeah.
26:17Just stay clear just for a minute.
26:19When I first saw Steven,
26:21it looked like it overtook a little bit
26:23too much or something.
26:25Maybe it's medicine or something.
26:29Most addicts don't have just one stash.
26:31We found that one.
26:32They have multiple stashes.
26:34Socks.
26:35I loved using socks.
26:36That's why I used to always put my s*** in my socks.
26:41Oh, yeah.
26:42And my, do we have a lot of socks.
26:46Oh, yeah.
26:49How many of them?
26:50I didn't break it.
26:51I didn't mean they wanted it.
26:53Yeah, the old 400 sock diversion.
26:56I didn't remember this one.
26:58Take it all.
26:59We'll get tired by the 390th day.
27:02One of the things I try not to do
27:04is call Dr. Drew unless it's an absolute emergency.
27:08But it's only day one,
27:09and I have a guy here wasted on heroin.
27:12I really had no choice at that point.
27:15Hey, Dr. Drew, it's Jed.
27:17Steven Adler's high as a kite,
27:19and I found needles in his pocket,
27:21and there's residue and heroin.
27:28I have the needles,
27:29and I have the heroin.
27:31We have a crisis,
27:33and we need you.
27:48We just got a call from Jed at the sober house,
27:51and Steven Adler showed up with heroin,
27:53with syringes,
27:54probably loaded.
27:56Boy, he just left us.
27:58He had just went out into the world
28:01with a good attitude,
28:02doing well,
28:02and here we are now using it again.
28:04And then with him knowing we were going to check,
28:07I'm dying to know what he was thinking.
28:09Steven is going to die if this doesn't stop.
28:11It's just very simple.
28:14Jed and I were trying to deal with Steven
28:16as quietly as possible.
28:18We didn't want everybody in the house
28:20to know that he was on drugs,
28:21but you could tell.
28:22It was starting to spread through the house.
28:24F*** your stomach hurts.
28:32So,
28:32what the hell are you doing?
28:36You're strong enough.
28:37Yeah.
28:38You're strong enough.
28:39You need anything?
28:40No.
28:42I didn't drink that s***.
28:44I'm making my stomach hurt.
28:46As time passed,
28:48Steven was starting to become
28:49sicker and sicker from the heroin.
28:55You're a narcissist?
29:01There we go.
29:04Oh, man.
29:10You're okay?
29:12Yeah.
29:25No more acid he drinks.
29:28You all right?
29:29Yeah,
29:30I just got rid of it finally.
29:32You okay?
29:34Damn it,
29:35yeah.
29:36He had some s***.
29:38He hit it.
29:40After he found out I got in trouble,
29:42I busted,
29:43I did some s***,
29:43he probably went and finished
29:45whatever s*** he had.
29:47He didn't shoot it.
29:48I think he probably had to eat it.
29:50You think he ate them?
29:50Or he's a type that would eat it?
29:52You do whatever you need to,
29:53apparently.
29:54He came in here with some rigs.
29:55Totally.
29:56What was that?
29:57Needles.
29:58Oh, okay.
29:59Yeah.
30:00That's what Jen was saying.
30:01He came in here back
30:02and she was like,
30:02whoa.
30:04He's a good addict.
30:06Yeah.
30:06He had everything he needed.
30:10Drew pulling up in the driveway
30:11was one of the greatest sights
30:13in the whole world.
30:15For me to be at that house,
30:16things had to be really bad.
30:18And so there I was
30:19and indeed things were really bad.
30:22Did you talk to Stephen?
30:23No, not yet.
30:24What does he say about what you found?
30:26Oh, when he found the needles.
30:27After we talked on the phone,
30:28did you talk to him again or no?
30:29When he saw that,
30:30when I was pulling everything out,
30:32he was pulling everything for me out
30:34really fast.
30:34So he saw that you saw?
30:35Yeah, and then he goes,
30:36oh my God, don't show the camera,
30:38don't show the camera.
30:39And I saw it was needles.
30:40Of course.
30:41He said, oh, those are,
30:42these pants are 10 years old.
30:43I haven't worn them in 10 years.
30:44Okay.
30:45So let's get our head around the situation.
30:47Before we go into battle here,
30:49are you okay,
30:50if I don't feel he needs detox
30:52and if we feel that Will
30:53has adequately searched him for drugs,
30:54are you okay with him staying here?
31:01No.
31:04Coming up.
31:05That one girl,
31:06stop talking about it.
31:08The repercussions,
31:09they suck.
31:11You want to get sober?
31:12Of course.
31:21So let's get,
31:22let's get our head around the situation.
31:23He's been using since this morning.
31:25Or yesterday.
31:26Let's just,
31:26before we go into battle here,
31:28are you okay,
31:29if I don't feel he needs detox
31:31and if we feel that Will
31:32has adequately searched him for drugs,
31:33are you okay with him staying here?
31:34No.
31:35One of the interesting parts
31:37of being a treatment team
31:38that treats addicts
31:38is we disagree amongst ourselves.
31:40We can have differing ideas
31:41about how a certain situation
31:43ought to be approached,
31:43but we share our ideas
31:45with each other
31:45and reach a consensus.
31:46This is sober living.
31:47It's their life.
31:48They've got to decide to live sober.
31:50We've got to get started somewhere.
31:52Because it's just day one,
31:53it's a hard call
31:54to send Stephen to the hospital.
31:56He only used once.
31:57He doesn't really need detox.
31:58And yet here he is in the house,
32:01intoxicated,
32:01having used in the house,
32:03so understandably,
32:04Jen wants him out.
32:05From my standpoint,
32:05if we find things on him,
32:07we get rid of them,
32:08on we go.
32:09I just think that
32:10coming in here
32:11and being high already,
32:12coming in here...
32:12That was all the time.
32:13You'd be surprised.
32:14Well, where do you find that line?
32:16You know what I mean?
32:16Like,
32:17Stephen was walking
32:18into a sober living house
32:20with drugs.
32:21Yes, it happened.
32:22I'm supposed to protect these people.
32:24How am I supposed to do my job?
32:28Are we going to help him or not?
32:30I think treatment would help him.
32:32He's been through
32:32a lot of pain.
32:36I don't know.
32:39Stephen what he tells us.
32:40Okay.
32:40So do you want to bring him in here?
32:41Yeah, bring him in here.
32:42Bring him in.
32:43Stephen,
32:44can you come in here, please?
32:59What's going on?
33:00I had some problems
33:01with that manager guy,
33:02you know?
33:03Mm-hmm.
33:03He f***ed up some shows for me
33:05in South America.
33:07Just took it
33:08a little harder
33:09and I set up.
33:10You know how you used to?
33:11Yeah.
33:12Is that just,
33:12that started yesterday?
33:14Yeah, yeah.
33:15Yeah, yesterday.
33:16So are you likely to kick
33:18if you stop?
33:19You're not going to have a kiss.
33:20It was
33:22tiny.
33:23Yeah.
33:25You want to get sober?
33:26Of course.
33:30I'm just,
33:31I'm worried that this may not
33:32be the right environment
33:33for you just yet.
33:34No, no, no.
33:35I'm great.
33:37Yeah, but what do you think,
33:38well?
33:39It just depends on the duration
33:40you try to still work.
33:41Yeah, you know,
33:42just that one time.
33:43Well, that's bulls***.
33:44Come on, stop it.
33:44No, I really aren't.
33:45Let's see it.
33:46I swear to God,
33:47I'm my grandmother.
33:48You brought heroin
33:49in to treatment.
33:50That was it.
33:51It was just a little bit
33:52on the back.
33:52Whatever it is.
33:53I didn't even finish it.
33:54I know, but whatever.
33:55I didn't even know
33:56I had it in my pocket,
33:57put it that way.
33:58Really?
33:58Okay.
33:59Yeah, it was done.
34:00All right, I mean,
34:01here's the deal.
34:02I mean, this is,
34:02this is independent living,
34:03you know what I mean?
34:04I can't watch over you here.
34:05This is like you're at your home.
34:07You're just at a home
34:07with people that you can
34:08get some structure
34:08and support from.
34:10But you're your own person.
34:11And if you get kicked out,
34:13there ain't no coming back.
34:14I don't want you
34:14to get kicked out of you either.
34:15I don't either.
34:16Okay.
34:18But I'm worried
34:18about you right now.
34:19Hey, I made a mistake.
34:21I don't hurt myself.
34:22All right, all right.
34:22Go back out again.
34:24I'm quiet.
34:25It's not uncommon
34:26for patients to show up
34:27to Sober Living High,
34:28but whether they stay
34:29in Sober Living
34:29or go to a hospital
34:31depends on how much
34:32they've been using
34:32and for how long.
34:35Longer to see Dr. Drew.
34:36Uh-oh.
34:37Mom.
34:39Mom.
34:42Where's Drew at?
34:44Keep in mind,
34:44this is not a hospital.
34:45This really is not
34:46my environment.
34:47That's why I asked Bob Forrest
34:48to come over
34:49and help me out.
34:50He knows how to deal
34:50with these issues out there
34:51in the real world
34:52in Sober Living
34:53better than anybody.
34:54Your eyes are shining bright.
34:56I am.
34:58T-shirt Samuelsman.
34:59Hey, Bob.
35:00How are you?
35:01I'm tired.
35:02I'm stressed out.
35:03So, what do you think?
35:05Stephen's high out of his mind.
35:06Yeah, Stephen's high.
35:07So the question is,
35:08he claims it's using
35:10since this morning.
35:11He cops to using yesterday.
35:12He may or may not have a kick.
35:14He may or may not change drastically
35:16when he's off the drugs.
35:18But the problem is,
35:19these two right out there
35:20in that balcony right now.
35:22He may not have a kick.
35:24So I want a girl
35:26to stop talking about it.
35:28Making one deal
35:30on it necessary.
35:32The repercussions.
35:34Yeah.
35:35They suck.
35:36Definitely.
35:38You have two insane disease-infected people at this right moment.
35:43We're going to feed off each other.
35:46I just think that cracking the whip now would establish at least a little bit of consequences.
35:51So we need to figure out where he can go, because this is exceptional circumstances.
36:02Coming up, you're used to me being all over you guys in a residential program.
36:06This is not that.
36:07Don't use here.
36:09Don't use here.
36:19Stephen's high out of his mind.
36:20Yeah, Stephen's high.
36:21The report is using since this morning.
36:23The cops are using yesterday.
36:25He may or may not have a kick.
36:27I personally don't think that it's okay for him to be here.
36:30So we need to figure out where he can go, because this is exceptional circumstances.
36:38Does Stephen go along with you for a night?
36:42Yeah.
36:44I'll watch him.
36:45That'd be the next move, in my opinion, if he doesn't stay here.
36:48Because I don't think we accomplished a ****** thing, if it's awesome.
36:51In fact, that's more gratifying than anything else.
36:53And I'll be back early in the morning with Stephen.
36:56All right.
36:56So the plan then is Stephen at Will's for the night.
37:00Got some Starbucks?
37:03Initially, I believed that Stephen should have gone to treatment.
37:07But after talking to Dr. Drew and Bob, I realized that Stephen going home with Will would be the best
37:12thing to do.
37:13That way, he gets sober up there instead of causing problems over here.
37:17There's concern about your safety tonight, okay?
37:20I'm watching.
37:21So what we'd like to propose is that you, for the night, go home with Will and let him just
37:26watch you.
37:27And then we'll come back in the morning.
37:28You'll come to group.
37:29We'll start a new day.
37:30Come back in here.
37:31Tomorrow, we'll start all over again.
37:33Yeah.
37:34All right.
37:34All right.
37:34All right.
37:35All right.
37:35You guys plan that out.
37:36And this is good, okay?
37:38So we've got a month ahead of us.
37:40A whole month of treatment ahead.
37:41All right.
37:42So Stephen has gone home with Will for the night, but I needed everyone in the house to understand that
37:46I can't come running out there every time there's a crisis.
37:49This is their house.
37:50They need to manage it.
37:51Wait.
37:51We want to go inside and talk really quick.
37:53Who?
37:53Everybody.
37:54So I gathered the group together to help them understand that things were going to be different in Sober House
37:58than they were in rehab.
38:00Okay, guys.
38:01You're used to me being all over you guys in a residential program.
38:04This is not that.
38:06You are living independently.
38:08This is an environment where you decide to stay sober.
38:10This is your life you're starting to lead in an independent fashion.
38:15And this is the stepwise entry into that life.
38:19You've got to get a job.
38:20You've got to go do the things that you've been neglecting for a long time.
38:24And you've got to decide you're going to do it sober.
38:26It's time to make that decision, make that commitment, and really do it.
38:29Don't use here.
38:31Don't use here.
38:32Okay.
38:35I'm going to leave right now.
38:36I will see you guys tomorrow in group.
38:38All right.
38:38Great to see you, too.
38:39Great to see you guys.
38:40I love you.
38:40I'll see you soon.
38:41It's going to be some growing pains as they form a community here.
38:45And if we get everybody sober and landed, this is always the way it is in Sober Living.
38:48Some people are more ready than others.
38:49Some people use driving from a hospital to a sober living.
38:52This is typical stuff.
38:54They've got to know this is independent living.
38:56They have to decide to live sober, and they have to do it.
39:04Coming up.
39:04If I don't hear from you in over 24 hours, like...
39:07That's what's going to happen if I get out.
39:09That's so cute.
39:10I love that you guys are setting the rules.
39:11So why don't you go by your rules?
39:13These people are going to eat me alive.
39:20So did you actually find that stuff on Steven, or was it like in a bag?
39:25It was on him.
39:25And then some of it was in his pants he hasn't worn in 10 years.
39:31But wait, how did he get so high in the end?
39:34Because he probably had it.
39:36He had somewhere else, because, you know, heroin's quick acting.
39:39It doesn't hit you three hours after someone grabs it.
39:43Boom, you're going to go out for 30 minutes, you know.
39:46Yeah.
39:46And he shoots it.
39:47So he had some, because he got really high at the end.
39:51And then he got sick, so I think he might have even shot some more.
39:53Yeah.
39:54Right before he got sick.
39:56Because the minute you shoot it, you get sick like that.
39:58I think because he was trying to grab everything out,
40:00he grabbed what he could, and used, and then he has a strike.
40:05He had a strike already.
40:07He's gonna.
40:09Steven's behavior tonight started things off on a bad note for everybody.
40:14He deserves and is getting a strike.
40:16If he does one more thing, I can kick him out at any time.
40:19Yeah, but if you mess up, and then you come back,
40:21and you get it together in your service, you should get another try.
40:24Yeah, but if you leave for three days on a three-day binge,
