While watching a TV show the other night I saw a young girl ask if she could go to the tanning salon for the “Lindsay Lohan” fake tan. She was having her school picture taken and wanted to look good. She said she didn’t mind the horrible chemicals the salon would have to use because, in the end, she’d look like Lindsay Lohan. I couldn’t help but wonder what other aspects of Lindsay’s life she would emulate and how long it would be before she was drinking and taking drugs. When that does happen, I hope she’s be able to find a successful drug rehab program that really works so she can decide to become herself again, instead of Lindsay Lohan.
 
Do celebrities glamorize drugs and drug rehab? No doubt about it. In fact, it’s become a bit of a joke. How are young people supposed to take drug abuse and drug rehab seriously when their role models obviously do not?

This has been the subject of many recent news and television items. Check Google for celebrities glamorizing drug rehab and you’ll see what I mean.

With any luck, fans will recognize that not everything celebrities do is admireable. And, with any luck, they’ll make the right decisions about life, even though their role models do not.

If someone would actually get these celebrities through a successful drug rehab program that digs in and finds out why they are on drugs and alcohol, they might stand a chance of being truly rehabilitiated and becoming a contributing member of society.
