It’s no secret that Hollywood celebrities love their drugs. No one knows Hollywood drug addiction better then Dr. Drew Pinsky.

Dr. Drew is back in another VH1 special premiering on Thursday, June 5th at 9PM to discuss drug addiction epidemic in Hollywood.

He investigates some of Hollywood’s most disturbing drug stories, reveals some common celebrity personality traits that can trigger addiction behaviors, and he offers commentary on some of the most troubled celebs.”

Dr. Drew took us into the emotionally raw and painful process of drug rehabilitation in his series “Celebrity Rehab.” Although it was a hard to watch the stars on the show struggle with their addiction (ex. mostly comatose Jeff Conway), it was fascinating to watch the process and to really learn what it takes to take a stand and resolve to get off drugs.

Among the stars being discussed in the VH1 special will be Amy Winehouse (a.k.a. the new trainwreck version of Britney Spears) and Lindsay Lohan. By the way… LiLo is reportedly back on the sauce. Stay tuned. Also, the special will feature extended interviews with Mary Carey and Seth “Shifty” Binzer from the first season of “Celebrity Rehab.”

And as much as we like to watch the stars do crazy things and gossip about how “out of control” they’ve become, we still root for them when they do decide to get help. Thanks to Dr. Drew we have some insight into the challenges of staying off drugs.
