Celebrities in Los Angeles appear to have it all: flashy cars, designer clothes, endless amounts of money and the hottest boyfriends or girlfriends. They appear to live for the A-List parties while popping in-and-out of drug rehab centers. How can such coveted lives need correctional aid when facing substance abuse?
Young Hollywood stars are being raised in a whirlwind of interviews, call-times, appearances and paparazzi-ambushes. Their day-to-day schedules might seem glamorous, but with demanding social pressures comes the potential to dive headfirst into trouble.
Disney Stars
“Hi, I’m Demi Lovato and you’re watching me spiral my way toward rehab,” was never a line said on the Disney Channel. But it almost appears there was something in the water on the sets of the Disney Channel as many of its young Los Angeles-stationed celebrities quickly fell off the path of innocence and chastity.
Former Disney stars such as Demi Lovato, Zac Efron, Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears have all battled addictions that required the help of drug rehabilitation centers. Each has their own story facing substance abuse and addiction from the high pressures of the entertainment business.
Cocaine Addictions
Efron, who is now 27 years old, got his first big lead in Disney’s 2005 film “High School Musical” when he was 18. After his popularity skyrocketed, Efron admitted that the influence of nonstop press led him to a cocaine addiction. The singer and actor knew he needed to seek help from rehab centers when getting through the start of the week without a drug became difficult.
Los Angeles-dweller and former Disney star Demi Lovato started out singing and acting, but quickly traded in her mic for bottles of alcohol and drugs. She even revealed her success at smuggling cocaine onto airplanes to feed her addiction. The 23-year-old celebrity is now a vocal advocate for seeking help during addiction.
Drug addicts from Los Angeles to the East Coast can find the help they need to regain control over their lives. Even celebrities are facing these realities and finding support from rehab centers, proving that anyone can do the same.
