Drug Addiction Treatment Centers to Get Help from Amy Winehouse

July 22, 2008

Okay, so just about everyone is probably sick of hearing about Amy Winehouse - she’s very far removed from the life most of us lead. However, according to a recent news article, Amy is going through some changes - she’s apparently going to volunteer in drug addiction treatment centers and other venues to help people get off drugs.

Some may think that’s a strange idea - especially since we haven’t really seen any news that she’s straightened out. But if that is what she’s planning on doing, it’s probably the most therapeutic move she could make. Helping others overcome problems similar to your own has a tendency to make you also see things more clearly. People completing drug rehab programs often get involved in that kind of work. In fact, drug addiction treatment centers are often staffed with people who have been helped themselves. They want to give back, as does Amy.

This will also be a great influence on those of her admirers who may well have started taking drugs and drinking so they could be like Amy  - their role model. I’m sure there are parents all over the world who hate Amy Winehouse for whatever they think her part may have been their kids’ behavior.

So, Amy, do give back. By all means. Your actions have probably caused a lot of misery you know nothing about. Helping drug addiction treatment centers and other groups and institutions that get people off drugs and alcohol will restore good will. If you know someone with an alcohol or drug problem - even prescription drug addiction - get them into a drug addiction treatment center. It really does work.

  1. Giving back and making up damage is essential to effective recovery in my book. I applaud Amy for her move in this direction
