Whitney Houston has certainly had her problems with drugs. She started her career with some incredible hits, and she was very young. Her first album was released when she was barely into her 20s. Since then, she’s won grammys, emmys – hundreds of music awards, more than any other female artist – but has had a constant battle with drugs almost since she started. Her problem? She hasn’t been choosing the right drug rehab program.

Whitney has been in drug rehab several times. Eventually, the problem got so bad her brilliant career was in the toilet. Fortunately, she’s extremely talented and was able to make a few comebacks – the latest was in 2009. But, once again, she’s in trouble – she just got out of yet another drug rehab program, a 30-day program which she says was just not enough.

She is so right. Short term drug rehab just doesn’t make it. Maybe if you have been taking drugs for a month – and aren’t totally into it, and are not in an environment or emotional condition where they will be constantly temped – 30 days might be enough. But anyone who has something serious going on needs more time.

A good drug rehab program gets the person off the drugs – which can take a while, and then gets into getting the person healthy again. Then, and without this step there’s little chance of the person staying off drugs, they get into why the person started with drugs in the first place and address that. Then, and this is the second thing that is vital for success, they look at the person’s environment, what they run into that makes them get back into drugs, and address those problems – helps them find solutions in advance.

Whitney Houston needs to really revamp her life so she understands why she is in a constant state of emotional upheaval.

A good drug rehab program will do that for her. I hope she finds it.
