A new season of "Celebrity Rehab" debuts Wednesday (Dec. 1) on VH1, which means a new group of celebs with addiction issues will be put through the wringer. And, inevitably, there will be some who rebel against the process.
But Dr. Drew Pinsky, who supervises the treatment on the show, says that while he always aims to help the celebrities under his care, he can't lead them by hand to a sober life.
"There's no direct line to sobriety," Pinsky tells Life & Style in this week's issue. "For people in recovery, it's progress, not perfection."
At least one former contestant begs to differ. "The show likes to f*** with you, basically," says Kari Ann Peniche, who appeared on the show's third season earlier this year. The magazine also notes some other rough times for past "Celebrity Rehab" patients -- as well as some success stories.
Be that as it may, Dr. Drew is confident that the new crop of "Rehab" patients -- among them Janice Dickinson, Rachel Uchitel and Jeremy London -- will leave the show as different people. "I think all our patients will tell you that 'Celebrity Rehab' was a life-changing experience for them," he said
