I read quite a fabulous article today – fabulous because the person agrees with me – about celebrities using drug rehab as an end-all-be-all apology. I don’t know that I’d go that far: I think the motivation might be getting out of jail time. However, the point the author made is that sometimes drug rehab just isn’t enough.  Especially when the rehab consisted of a few weeks in luxury, and when they go back there time and time again. Might be better off to try a successful drug rehab program next time – one that takes the subject a little more seriously than what the sous-chef is planning for dinner or who to assign to accompany the celebrity on their shopping spree. 

Should people have to pay their debt to society? I think so. Rehab them first, then they do the right thing. Probably prison isn’t a great idea – lots of drugs in there – but community service would be great! 

Maybe soup kitchens? Helping the homeless? Orphans? Get a taste of what life is like on the other side of the tracks, and maybe they’ll appreciate all they’ve got and take drug rehab, and life, a little more seriously.
