VH1′s blog announced that a new season titled, “Rehab With Dr. Drew”, will begin airing in September 2012. Instead of celebrities, however, the new group checking into the Pasadena Recovery Center are “regular folks who have sought out Dr. Drew’s help after seeing just how dedicated and successful his treatment with celebs has been.” In addition to the Pasadena Recovery Center, fans will recognize Bob Forrest, Dr. John Sharpe, Shelly Sprague and Jennifer Gimenez from Dr. Drew Pinsky’s previous celebrity oriented shows.
‘Rehab With Dr. Drew’ – At The Pasadena Recovery Center – To Premiere In September 2012
VIDEO: Great Overview of the Pasadena Recovery Center
This Crown City News video gives a great overview of the Pasadena Recovery Center (PRC). While the Center is famous for the many seasons of “Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew” and will be featured again this September on “Rehab with Dr. Drew” which will concentrate on young adults rather than celebrities, the vast majority of the nearly 6,000 patients treated at PRC are regular folk that come from all walks of life. As Alison Triessl, daughter of the late PRC founder Dr. Lee Bloom, states:
“We will treat anybody from Yale to jail, Park Place to park bench. It’s a 98 bed facility, co-ed, men and women, from age 18 to 80, and we believe that treatment should be affordable.”
PRC is also a family run center. Dr. Bloom’s son and Alison’s brother, Michael Bloom, acts as CEO. In the video he explains some of the many activities that residents can participate in:
“We have yoga, we have acupuncture, art therapy, we have a gym. we play softball nearby, we go to the Rose Bowl. And then we have the traditional 12-step meetings that are on site, and we have group therapy with counseling, one-on-one therapy, and a family group. And we do have DirecTV for the residents.”
Finally the video stresses that while the majority of patients come from Los Angeles, the Center’s visibility through the Dr. Drew shows has brought many people seeking treatment from abroad — including from London, Macau, and Guam.

Dr. Drew Comments on the Death of Rodney King whom he Treated on ‘Celebrity Rehab’
Dr. Drew Pinsky comments on the passing of Rodney King who he first treated in 2008 on the second season of “Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew” at the Pasadena Recovery Center. The videotaped beating of a helpless King by Los Angeles Police officers sparked the 1992 LA riots which resulted in 53 deaths and nearly $1 billion in damages.
The L.A. Times reports that autopsy was conducted Monday.
Our thoughts and prayers are with King’s friends and family.
