STEVEN ADLER In VH1's 'Sober House'; Second Episode Available For Viewing

January 23, 2009

The second episode of VH1's "Celebrity Rehab Presents Sober House" series, featuring former GUNS N' ROSES drummer Steven Adler, is available for viewing at VH1.com. A recap of the show can be found here.

At the end of the first season of VH1's "Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew", each cast member was given the opportunity to spend three months living in a sober house as they transitioned from a rehab facility to the real world and many of them quietly took advantage of the opportunity. The cast from season two are also being given that same opportunity ... and this time it will be filmed.

"Celebrity Rehab Presents Sober House" is an eight-episode, one hour series that premiered on Thursday, January 15. Moving into the "Sober House" are Rodney King, Nikki McKibbin, Steven Adler and Amber Smith from Season 2 of "Celebrity Rehab", Seth "Shifty" Binzer and Mary Carey from Season 1 and comedian Andy Dick who joins the show a few episodes in.

Returning from "Celebrity Rehab" to help Dr. Drew in the "Sober House" is counselor Bob Forrest and program assistant, William Smith. Joining them are resident "house mother," Jennifer Gimenez, who has battled her own drug and alcohol demons. Jennifer, an actress in her own right who has starred in such films as "Blow" and "Vanilla Sky", lives at "Sober House" to keep everyone on the clean and sober path to a healthy and successful life.
For two seasons, "Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew" chronicled celebrity patients as they underwent an intensive 21-day detoxification and rehab program through group and one-on-one therapies as well as non-traditional therapies like art and music.

"Celebrity Rehab Presents Sober House" chronicles the dramatic, unscripted experiences of a group of celebrity addicts as they make the transition back into the real world full of the people and things that once led them into a life of addiction. The sober living house is an interim step on the path to sobriety where addicts can live in a supervised sober environment with structure and rules, i.e. mandatory curfews, chores and meetings. It's a place where addicts, most of which have spent the better part of their life in the throes of an addiction will learn how to essentially start their lives over from the ground up. In some cases, the addicts change everything from their jobs to their friends and for some they make the very difficult decision to eliminate the people they love who are toxic to their sobriety.

Throughout the course of their stay, the "Sober House" cast members will have the opportunity to meet with Dr. Drew in both one-on-one and group sessions in an effort to understand and advance their experience to its fullest potential. Although not living at the house, Dr. Drew and his staff will keep a watchful eye over all that goes on.
