Ep 2. Detox

In the second episode of Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew season 1, titled "Detox," the focus is on the celebrities as they start to experience the physical and emotional toll of detoxification.

The episode begins with the group being awakened early in the morning for their first day of detox. They are all given medical check-ups before starting their detox sessions.

Dr. Drew explains that detoxification is necessary in order to rid the body of any substances that may be affecting the individuals’ ability to think clearly and make good decisions. The patients will experience a range of physical withdrawal symptoms as well as intense cravings. The aim is to keep the patients as comfortable as possible while they go through the detox process.

The episode follows the patients as they undergo different detox treatments such as acupuncture, massage, and vitamin therapy. Many of the patients struggle with cravings and emotional distress during this process.

One patient, professional skateboarder Jason Wahler, begins to have emotional breakdowns and even attempts to leave the facility on multiple occasions. Dr. Drew and the staff are quick to reassure him and help him work through his emotions.

Another patient, actor Daniel Baldwin, admits to having an addiction to painkillers after suffering from chronic back pain. He suffers from intense physical withdrawal symptoms and hallucinations, but with the help of the staff he is able to make it through the detox process.

Actress Brigitte Nielsen, who has struggled with alcohol addiction for most of her life, also struggles during the detox process. She experiences intense physical withdrawal symptoms and emotional breakdowns, but through the support of her fellow patients and the staff, she is able to make it through.

The episode ends with the patients reflecting on their experiences during the detox process. Dr. Drew reminds them that this is just the beginning of a long road to recovery and that they will need to continue to work hard in order to maintain their sobriety.

Overall, "Detox" provides a painful but necessary insight into the physical and emotional pain that comes with addiction and the process of detoxification. Through the support of the staff and each other, the patients begin to learn more about themselves and their addictions, setting them on the path to true recovery.
