Celebrity Rehab Coming To Five

Channel Five has secured Celebrity Rehab, the hit US series from VH1 where nine drug and alcohol-addicted celebrities check into a rehabilitation facility in an effort to conquer their demons. The celebrities include: Daniel Baldwin, Jeff Conaway and Brigitte Nielsen. With full access to the complete treatment programme, Celebrity Rehab takes an unflinching look at the harrowing process of withdrawal and the slow journey to recovery.

This is the first television series to chronicle the dramatic, unscripted real life experiences of a group of actual celebrities as they make the life-changing decision to enter themselves into a drug, alcohol and addiction treatment programme with the sincere desire to achieve true rehabilitation and recovery.

This compelling true account of addiction, healing, and redemption is supervised by expert Dr. Drew Pinsky, the world-renowned addiction specialist. Drew has allowed unprecedented and exclusive access to his facility in Southern California to film a full course of rehab treatment with our nine celebrities.

With cameras present 24/7, Celeb Rehab captures the roller-coaster of emotions that come with the process of withdrawal and eventual recovery from addiction. This is gripping television that follows a process that could change, and even save, the lives of nine celebrities on the edge.
