With the world on its knees in response to Michael Jackson's death; only to hear news soon after about the death of DJ Adam Goldstein, it is clearer than ever that celebrity treatment options that get results need to be more available to those struggling with addiction.
We live in a society that idolizes movie stars, musicians and performers but cannot tolerate the use of drugs amongst these people that set the pace, in fashions and often times behavior of entire generations. Drug abuse has got to stop. We don't tolerate it in our schools, or in our homes, and shouldn't in the media. But the only way to handle this is through celebrity drug rehab.
Throughout the generations there have been many lost stars. John Belushi, Jimmi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Marilyn Monroe, and Kurt Cobain are only a few of the tragedies brought on by drug abuse.
John Belushi, who we loved on Saturday Night Live, and who we still talk about in Animal House died alone in a hotel room at the hands of another addict. Jimmi Hendrix, whose music is still cherished, choked on his own vomit after ingesting too much alcohol and too many barbiturates. Janis Joplin with a voice that can send shivers up one's spine relapsed, and overdosed on heroin. Marilyn Monroe, one of the most iconic women of our nation died depressed and alone from barbiturates. And Kurt Cobain, whose star was just rising and someone that was loved by millions shot himself after injecting too much heroin. These stories of death plague the phenomenal lives that we all loved.
As a nation we have gotten smarter. Drug rehabs are in almost every major city in every state. We have drug education months, DARE programs, parents are learning how to talk to their kids about drugs, but we're still missing one vital piece, a piece that makes all the other actions necessary and works against them: the people that our children look up to, who they want to be when they grow up, and who are plastered all over their bedroom wall are getting high. This is the problem, that celebrities should be clean and bright and standing for life-affirming principles rather than death. Addiction can be handled. There are celebrity drug rehab centers that are effective.
One such rehabilitation facility is Narconon Louisiana New Life Retreat. Narconon Louisiana, located just outside of Baton Rouge, is a long-term inpatient facility that focuses on handling the problem that drugs were a solution to. Students achieve both a mental and physical rehabilitation with Narconon's unique approach to handling the body and the mind.
