Is Paris Rehab-Bound?

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

Is it just me or does Paris Hilton seem to think that rules don’t apply to her?  Maybe it’s because she keeps getting away with things, but it appears as though she may not be able to get out of her current situation after getting charged with possession of cocaine in Las Vegas.  Although reports say she claims it wasn’t hers, such a statement is likely untrue, especially after being charged with possession of marijuana in two other recent events just since this summer.

So, if the cocaine charge sticks, will her attorney recommend going to a drug rehab or addiction treatment center?  Even if she isn’t fully “addicted,” she clearly needs to learn to make better decisions for herself given her history and learn more about who are good influences in her life.  The club-going lifestyle is surrounded, and even fueled-by substance abuse.  She can make money in other ways than her club appearance fees.  A long-term inpatient rehab may be just what is needed for her to start realizing these things.

Insane Docs Think Ritalin Can Treat Addiction

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010

An article just appeared in the LA Times talking about some quack research doctors at Yale who say that Ritalin (yes, that’s an amphetamine) addresses brain function and might help people with addiction. 

Excuse me!  Really?!  What about the fact hat Ritalin is addictive?  It is speed.  Other reports have said that the brain recognizes Ritalin as being chemically similar to cocaine – should they go ahead and give addicts cocaine to treat addiction too?  That’s essentially what they’re implying here. 

Even more reasons why books like The New Face of Recovery need to be read by every household in the country – to arm themselves against destructive information like what the researchers are promoting.  I bet if you looked deep enough, you would find that a drug company paid for the research and probably even wrote the paper and had these guys put their names on it – all in an attempt to keep sales going.
