Celebs Enter 'Rehab With Dr. Drew'

Looks like there are a few celebs that won't be filling up their christmas mugs holiday spirit this year. Dr. Drew, best known for his radio and TV show 'Loveline,' heads to VH1 for a new show 'Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew,' ET Online reports.

"There's still a stigma with addiction," Dr. DREW PINSKY tells ET's JANN CARL. "I'm hoping that this program sort of removes some of the stigma by helping people understand what a human condition this is, how painful it is, and the context in which it operates."

Dr. Drew uses LINDSAY LOHAN's case as a prime example of what leads some celebrities -- or anyone struggling with addiction -- to destructive behavior.

"I want to go to the bar, I want to go see my friends, and I'm young; I've got an ankle bracelet on, I'm not going to go drink," speculates Drew about Lindsay's mindset. "But the brain's like, 'Yeah, right, you're not going to drink -- go, go.' Once you're there, you're using. That is a great example of how addiction works -- that abnormal instinct-thinking."
