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

07:29sell 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 a recovering addicts i have two and a half years in recovery nice
09:20Just remember if you need anything, let me know.
09:22Come in, knock, whatever.
09:24And my role here is teaching them how to live in a sober experience.
09:28You know, they're not used to this.
09:29Oh.
09:30Yeah, I love that you're already, like, moaning on that one.
09:33Everyone's going to get chores.
09:35We rotate every three days.
09:37Attucks 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 world does.
09:45This is a clean house.
09:46It's a nice house.
09:47Yeah.
09:47So we work together as a family.
09:48You know, no one wants their freedom curtailed.
09:51I want my independence and I want to hit life sober, but yet I've never been in sober living.
09:56I've been in drug living.
10:07Seth Binzer was on Celebrity Rehab 1.
10:10Seth readmitted to Celebrity Rehab 2 after a terrible relapse and ended up on our roof smoking crack.
10:15You know, the last year, you know, it's definitely been a challenge for me to overcome my dark relationship with
10:21that drug.
10:22Seth is a chronic relapsing stimulant addict.
10:26For Seth being so close to Hollywood Boulevard, the nightclubs and the environments where he used to score, there is
10:31danger just down the hill.
10:33He has very high hopes to rekindle his life as a father, get the trust of his wife and his
10:39son remains heartbroken.
10:40My fear is that Seth will not address some of these fundamental issues and he'll go out, he'll relapse again.
10:46And my ultimate fear is he will die.
10:48I have lots of fears right now.
10:49I mean, I just got like a week or two of sobriety.
10:52It's like the disease is still stronger than me at this point.
10:54Like I'm on shaky ground.
10:55Every move matters.
10:58Seth is a great guy.
10:59He's all fun and games.
11:00But I hope as he walks through the doors of this sober living, he takes his recovery seriously.
11:09What?
11:11Come on, let me in.
11:13Hi.
11:14Hi, little one.
11:15How 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.
11:22It's at a very serious point.
11:24Most of the people moving in here have a full 21 days of sobriety.
11:27Seth only has a few days.
11:29He's pretty deep in it.
11:30No sex in the house.
11:31No sex, okay.
11:32No using.
11:33Man, of course.
11:34If you use three times, you're done.
11:36Three times?
11:37Yeah, I know.
11:37It's a nice little lenient there, but I really wouldn't.
11:40I'm going to try not to use it all.
11:42Sober houses have rules.
11:44We have to have them.
11:45If not, this house is going to go down quick.
11:47We don't have sex.
11:49We don't do drugs.
11:50And we don't break the rules.
11:51We have something here we call a strike board in my office.
11:55If they break a rule, they will get a strike.
11:59And if they get three strikes, they're out.
12:03Come on, kiddo.
12:04I'm going to take it back up.
12:09So I don't think Rodney...
12:10Oh, what a...
12:13What a gorgeous...
12:14How's it going?
12:15Transfer.
12:16That's what they're transferring.
12:17Is that your room?
12:18Uh-huh.
12:19Right here?
12:19You want to see it?
12:20Because you can.
12:21Yeah.
12:22Who's room is this?
12:23That's your room.
12:24We get right in there?
12:25Yeah.
12:26Okay, do you see how, like, right here there's this line?
12:29Right.
12:29All guys, including me, can come in.
12:32Any girl comes in here, it's, like, bound for trouble.
12:35Right.
12:35Addicts don't do rules very well.
12:38That's not their forte.
12:39Addicts will go in any angle and every way and try to change it through their way.
12:46Seth, come out here.
12:47Oh, look at that.
12:48You're not supposed to be in there.
12:50It's all pink.
12:51We can't even look and say hi.
12:52You can look, but you can't go in there ever again like that.
12:54That line, you can't cross, dude.
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.
13:20See this whole rule book?
13:21I'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 or paraphernalia.
13:31Come on, I'm in Hollywood.
13:32I can get it all a block away.
13:34Seth does love to play with people.
13:36Precious, 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.
13:56I have the needles and I have the heroin.
13:59We have a crisis and we need you.
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.
14:29Rodney 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
14:40of 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
14:51that he actually is.
14:54Hi, how are you?
14:56I'm 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.
15:02Your 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
15:10at this and this is like my last shot.
15:15Have you done this before?
15:17I've done a lot of these before.
15:19Yeah.
15:20But 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 blast.
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.
15:40And I really believe that there's an ability of 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.
15:57Nicky McKibben, American Idol contestant.
16:01She's going to do Rehab 2.
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 Nicky's life.
16:13With the one-year anniversary of her mother's death approaching while she is living in the
16:17sober house, this will be a watershed month for her.
16:20This is a chance to get used to being a sober person in the world.
16:24Nicky, in addition, has the stress of being concerned about and worried about her children
16:29who are thousands of miles away while she focuses on her own sobriety.
16:34We don't need this in here.
16:36We really try to, I'm going to enforce that.
16:38Like, that is a must.
16:39Like, I've known a couple of people recently that just died.
16:42One mom died from drug and alcohol.
16:44Oh, really?
16:44Less than a year ago.
16:45Oh, I'm sorry.
16:46Yeah.
16:46So 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.
16:54I know this is going to be a really emotional time for Nicky.
16:57I am here to help her in any way she needs.
17:06Hi, Mary.
17:09Mary Carey has joined us from Season 1, Celebrity Rehab.
17:12After Season 1, Mary Carey did enroll in Sober Living, however, for only a very short period
17:16of time.
17:17Since then, she has struggled with her sobriety, and I have wanted her to re-enroll in Sober
17:22Living.
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 want me to have some sex toys in that bag?
17:35I know Mary for some time now.
17:38A 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
17:47Mary.
17:48Like, there's this tender, sweet soul.
17:51Hi!
17:52You're not Mary again!
17:55How are you?
17:56How are you?
17:57I've been to you forever.
17:58I know, it's been fun!
17:59I've been to a room for you.
18:00Yeah, I sit in a bed.
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, and how she struggles
18:11with 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?
18:19I'm like, 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.
18:51Stephen is going to die if this doesn't stop.
18:54Wow!
18:56Yeah!
18:57Yeah!
18:58Yeah!
18:59Yeah!
19:00Yeah!
19:08All right, here we go.
19:10All 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, and if he
19:53is not able to sustain sobriety, I'm not sure many of the people in his life would have
19:58him back.
20:06Hi, Stephen.
20:07Hi.
20:08How are you?
20:08How are you?
20:09Good, how are you?
20:11Good.
20:17So nervous and excited.
20:20Yeah?
20:20Yeah.
20:21The minute Stephen walked in, I knew he was high instantly.
20:25Addicts have a six cents.
20:27You know if somebody's high or is it drunk.
20:29You just do.
20:31Yeah.
20:31This is the kitchen.
20:33Oh.
20:34Everyone's going to be assigned every three days.
20:36You'll switch.
20:37Okay.
20:37All right?
20:38So, ready?
20:39I'm a huge person.
20:40Say you'll get clean kitchen.
20:41This is my house.
20:42I want it to remain like this.
20:43My house?
20:44It's your house, too.
20:45I don't want to do that.
20:46It's our house.
20:47Okay.
20:47Exactly.
20:48And we respect those down doors, which is great.
20:50I know.
20:51You don't have to talk to me like I'm five years old.
20:52I'm not talking to you like you're five.
20:54Yeah, you are.
20:55Stephen's emotions were like so up and down.
20:58One minute he was sweet, the next minute he was snotty.
21:01A 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 up 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's no drugs or alcohol because it would be so disappointing
21:20if there was the first day in.
21:22Yeah, man.
21:23It's a hot dog.
21:25It's a hot dog.
21:25It's a hot dog.
21:26Oh, ****.
21:27You'll take that.
21:27I didn't know I even had that.
21:31Don't take it out yet.
21:32Don't take it out yet.
21:32Don't take it out yet.
21:33We took the cameras.
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 your ticket.
21:45Don't show it on the cameras.
21:47Okay.
21:48I 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 got to search you really quick, kid.
22:09This is nothing.
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 Steven anymore than he already was.
22:26Hey, 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.
22:52Hey, Jen.
22:55I was hoping we were going to get through the first date without any trouble.
23:00The minute I walked in and saw Steven, I knew something was wrong.
23:03Hi, 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.
23:13He's high as a kite.
23:14I know he is.
23:14I saw that.
23:15He's high as a kite.
23:16I don't know where this is from.
23:18And needles.
23:19I was showing you one.
23:20I need you to please immediately test them.
23:22Hold on.
23:23This one sees.
23:24They've been used.
23:25When he saw those, before I even pulled them out, he said,
23:28Oh my God, oh my God, I haven't even 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 relapsed it.
23:40He looked terrific.
23:43Well, these are new.
23:45But nobody brings needles in if they don't have dope.
23:47Yeah.
23:48So it's on him somewhere.
23:49I just don't know if it's in his shoes.
23:50I checked all his socks.
23:53Oh, there's heroin.
23:54That's when I said it was gone.
23:55Yeah, he was smoking it.
23:57That was a hit.
23:58That's heroin was smoking.
24:00Smell it.
24:01Smell it.
24:02Smell it.
24:02It's heroin.
24:03You know, I'm going to go through all this stuff, but I'm going to search him first,
24:05because if he's got it on him while I'm searching, I 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 my hand and stuff.
24:16And it was just really intense.
24:23What's happening like that too, brother?
24:25What's up?
24:25You good at you?
24:27Yeah, man.
24:33Are you all right?
24:37You're not dealing with the rooms?
24:39You're all right.
24:40Steve.
24:41You're in the 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 have no idea.
24:51Okay.
24:52One time.
24:53I know, I know.
24:55But that one time, you know what that does to yourself well.
24:58Check this out.
24:59I'm going to have to go through your stuff.
25:00If you have any in there, give 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.
25:09Here.
25:09Here.
25:09Just don't.
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, there it was.
25:18Another tin foil 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?
25:32You got any more?
25:33I don't know.
25:33Yeah.
25:34I found another foil.
25:35Something else on it.
25:37In this top project.
25:39Did you test him?
25:40No.
25:41He can't piss.
25:42I did a strip search.
25:43Can't pee.
25:44I just gave him a few more minutes.
25:45And get him away from the rest of the group.
25:47And have him in the room and tell him what happened.
25:50Like, there's no tolerance for that.
25:52Yes.
25:54What?
25:54He's like marrying something.
25:56That's right.
26:04I'm just joking.
26:09Hey, Will.
26:10We need to get through.
26:11Is there any way to get some Tylenol or some aspirin?
26:14Can you do me a favor, though, until I get done with this?
26:16Yeah, go ahead.
26:17Just stay clear just for a minute.
26:19Yeah.
26:19When I first saw Steven, it looked like it overtook a little bit too 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**t in my socks.
26:41Oh, yeah.
26:42And, my, do we have a lot of socks.
26:46Oh, yeah.
26:49How many did I bring?
26:51Every day.
26:51Every day.
26:52Every day.
26:52One day.
26:53Yeah, the old 400 sock diversion.
26:56I remember this one.
26:58I think it all will get tired by the 390th day.
27:02One of the things I try not to do is 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 and there's residue and heroin.
27:27I have the needles and I have the heroin.
27:31We have a crisis and we need you.
27:48We just got a call from Jed at the sober house and Steven Adler showed up with heroin,
27:53with syringes, probably loaded.
27:56Boy, he just left us.
27:58He had just went out into the world with a good attitude, doing well, and here we are
28:03now using it again.
28:04And then with him knowing we were going to check, I'm dying to know what he was thinking.
28:08Steven 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 as quietly as possible.
28:18We didn't want everybody in the house to know that he was on drugs.
28:21But you could tell it was starting to spread through the house.
28:25It's dumb, it hurts.
28:32Is that what you're doing?
28:34You only got him that hurts.
28:38It hurts.
28:39It hurts.
28:39It's time to pull.
28:40I don't know.
28:40You need anything?
28:40Nah.
28:42I don't know.
28:43I don't know.
28:46As time passed, Steven was starting to become sicker and sicker from the heroin.
29:00There we go.
29:02Oh, man.
29:10You okay?
29:11Yeah.
29:18You're real!
29:26No more acid, he drinks.
29:28You all right?
29:29Yeah, I just got rid of it finally.
29:32You okay?
29:34Damn it, yeah.
29:36He had some shit.
29:38He hid it.
29:40After he found out I got in trouble, I busted, I did some shit,
29:44he probably went and finished whatever shit he had.
29:47He didn't shoot it.
29:48I think he probably had to eat it.
29:49Do you think he ate them or he's a type that would eat it?
29:52You do whatever you need to, apparently.
29:54He came in here with some rigs.
29:55Totally.
29:56What was that?
29:57Needles.
29:58Oh, okay.
29:59Yeah, that's what Jen was saying.
30:01He came in here back and she was like, whoa.
30:04He's a good addict.
30:06Yeah.
30:07He had everything he needed.
30:10Drew pulling up in the driveway was one of the greatest sights in the whole world.
30:15For me to be at that house, things had to be really bad.
30:18And so there I was, and indeed, things were really bad.
30:22Did you talk to Steven on this?
30:23No, not yet.
30:24What does he say about what you found?
30:26Oh, when he found the needles.
30:27So we talked on the phone.
30:28Did you talk to him again or no?
30:29When he saw that, when I was pulling everything out, he was pulling everything for me out really fast.
30:34So he saw that you saw?
30:36Yeah, and then he goes, oh my God, don't show the camera, don't show the camera.
30:39And I saw it was needles.
30:40Of course.
30:41He said, oh, those are, these pants are 10 years old.
30:43I haven't worn them in 10 years.
30:44Okay.
30:45So let's get, let's get our head around the situation.
30:47Before we go into battle here, are you okay if I don't feel he needs detox and if we feel
30:52that Will has adequately searched him for drugs, are you okay with him staying here?
31:01No.
31:04Coming up.
31:05That one girl, stop talking about it.
31:08Three percussions, they suck.
31:11You want to get sober?
31:12Of course.
31:21So let's get, let's get our head around the situation.
31:23He's been using since this morning.
31:25Four years.
31:26Are you, let's just, before we go into battle here, are you okay if I don't feel he needs detox
31:31and if we feel that Will has adequately searched him for drugs, are you okay with him staying here?
31:34No.
31:35One of the interesting parts of being a treatment team that treats addicts is we disagree amongst ourselves.
31:40We can have differing ideas about how a certain situation ought to be approached, but we share
31:44our ideas with each other and 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, it's a hard call to 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, intoxicated, having used in the house.
32:03So understandably, Jen wants him out.
32:05From my standpoint, if we find things on him, we get rid of them, on we go.
32:09I just think that coming in here and being high already, coming in here.
32:12It happens all the time.
32:13You'd be surprised.
32:14Well, where do you find that line?
32:16You know what I mean?
32:16Like, Stephen was walking into a sober living house with 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 through a mold.
32:36Before we really do the final assault, let's just go see what's going on with Stephen, what
32:39he tells us.
32:40Okay, so do you want to bring him in here?
32:41Yeah, bring him in here.
32:42Bring him in.
32:44Stephen, can you come in here, please?
32:59What's going on?
33:00I had some problems with that manager guy, you know?
33:03He f***ed up some shows for me in South America.
33:07Just took it a little harder and I shut up.
33:10You're not used.
33:11Yeah.
33:12That started yesterday?
33:14Yeah, yeah.
33:15Yeah, yesterday.
33:16Yesterday.
33:16So are you likely to kick if you stop?
33:19No, no, no.
33:19You're not going to have a kiss.
33:20It was tiny.
33:23Yeah.
33:25You want to get sober?
33:26Of course.
33:30I'm just, I'm worried that this may not be the right environment for you just yet.
33:34No, no, no.
33:35I'm great.
33:37What do you think, Will?
33:39It just depends on the duration.
33:41One day or just that one time.
33:43Well, that's bulls**t.
33:44Come on, stop it.
33:44No, I really aren't.
33:45Let's even...
33:46I swear to God, how am I growing up with that?
33:48You brought heroin into treatment.
33:50That was it.
33:51It was just a little bit...
33:52Whatever.
33:53I didn't even finish it.
33:54I know, but whatever.
33:55I didn't even know I had it in my pocket, put it in my pocket.
33:58Okay.
33:58Yeah.
33:59We're just done.
34:00All right.
34:01I mean, here's the deal.
34:02I mean, this 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 with people that you can get some structure and support from.
34:10But you're your own person.
34:11And if you get kicked out, there ain't no coming back.
34:14I don't want you to get kicked out of it.
34:15I don't either.
34:16Okay.
34:18But I'm worried about you right now.
34:19I made a mistake.
34:21I don't hurt myself.
34:22All right.
34:22And back out again.
34:25It's not uncommon for patients to show up to sober living high.
34:28But whether they stay in sober living or go to a hospital depends on how much they've
34:32been using and for how long.
34:35Long live to see Dr. Drew.
34:36Uh-oh.
34:37Mom.
34:39Mom.
34:42Where's Drew at?
34:43Keep in mind, this is not a hospital.
34:45This really is not my environment.
34:47That's why I asked Bob Forrest to come over and help me out.
34:50He knows how to deal with these issues out there in the real world in sober living better
34:53than anybody.
34:54Your eyes are shining bright.
34:56I know.
34:58T-shirt salesman.
34:59Hey, Bob.
35:00How are you?
35:01I'm tired.
35:02Stressed.
35:03So, what do you think?
35:05Steven's high out of his mind.
35:06Yeah, Steven's high.
35:07So, the question is, he claims it's using since this morning.
35:11He coughs to using yesterday.
35:12He may or may not have a kick.
35:14He may or may not change drastically when he's off the drugs.
35:18But the problem is these two right out there in that balcony right now.
35:24Man, someone's girl will stop talking about it.
35:28Making one deal out of it necessary.
35:32The repercussions.
35:34F*** if yeah.
35:35They suck.
35:37Definitely.
35:38You have two, like, insane disease-infected people at this right moment.
35:43Because they're going to feed off each other.
35:45They'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.
35:54Because this is exceptional circumstances.
36:02Coming up.
36:03You'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.
36:12Shhh.
36:19Stephen's high out of his mind.
36:20Yeah, Stephen's high.
36:21The report is using since this morning.
36:23He 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.
36:33Because this is exceptional circumstances.
36:38Stephen going 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.
36:49Because I don't think we accomplished a **** thing.
36:50In 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?
37:04Initially, I believed that Stephen should have gone to treatment.
37:07But after talking to Dr. Drew and Bob,
37:09I realized that Stephen going home with Will would be the best thing 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 worried.
37:21So, what we'd like to propose is that you, for the night,
37:24go home with Will and let him just watch 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.
37:34Good.
37:35All right.
37:36You guys planned that out.
37:37And 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.
37:44But I needed everyone in the house to understand
37:46that I 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
37:57that 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.
38:11This 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.
38:41It's going to be some growing pains
38:43as they form a community here
38:45and we get everybody sober and landed.
38:47This 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,
38:57and they have to do it.
39:04Coming up.
39:05If 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...
39:13They're going to eat me alive.
39:20So did you actually find that stuff on Steven,
39:23or was it like in a bag?
39:24Some of it was on him,
39:25and then some of it was in his pants he hasn't worn in 10 years.
39:31But wait, what?
39:32How did he get so high in the end?
39:34Because he probably had it.
39:36He had it somewhere else,
39:37because, 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.
39:58Because he was trying to grab everything out,
40:00he had grabbed what he could,
40:02and used, and then he has a strike.
40:05He had a strike already.
40:07Yeah.
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,
40:22you should get another try.
40:24Yeah, but if you leave for three days on a three-day binge,
40:26if I don't hear from you in over 24 hours, like...
40:29That's what's going to happen if I get out.
40:31That's so cute.
40:31I love that you guys are setting the rules.
40:33So why don't you go by your rules?
40:34That's the same rule.
40:34Because they seem to work really well for you, right?
40:36Because you're here.
40:37Right.
40:38Right?
40:38I'm saying they work well for me.
40:39I'm just saying,
40:40you should be able to mess up once and come back.
40:42You have three strikes at this house, you're out.
40:45I'm trying to stay here.
40:47My heart's in the right place,
40:48my head's in the wrong place.
40:57Today was the first day and a miracle.
41:00Today was not what I expected.
41:02It took me a lot not to lose it.
41:56You
