Natalie – absolutely right about Beet. Most journalists don’t investigate shit. They just “report” what they are told.

Jinx also correct. Americans tend to be extremely judgmental and punitive.

Amy – enough with the wig already. It’s older than Samantha Ronson’s filthy smelly hats. Get well and find a new look.

btw, i’ve been clean for over 2 yrs and never could have done it without going onto methadone to make the transition. i think i should write a handbook for people who have never been addicts because your level of ignorance is AMAZING.

They’re telling her exactly what she wants to hear: “It’s OK, if it’s too hard we won’t make you quit entirely. We’ll help you ‘maintain,’ dear, so you don’t continue to flush your music career down the toilet.” Ugh. That kind of crap kills people.

Well, i agree with Beet.. Either you’e ready to quit or you’re not.. and if you’re not gonna quit then why waste your money that way, going to “rehab” to “learn” how to use the drug.. She already knows how to use it, thats exactly why she’s so fucked up.. So i dont think there is any other way to deal with the problem but to quit..

My ex is a heroin addict, and honestly I believe that a center like this would help him more than a candy cutter our way or no way facility. I don’t believe that they are saying that you just learn how to use in moderation… it seems that they take a step by step approach for heavy users by getting them to use lower amounts until they can finally get them off, if they stay in treatment long enough. Some hard core addicts are too afraid of withdrawals and living life without the drug that they won’t even consider a traditional rehab facility. Obviously no one way of treatment is fool proof, but I would say not to knock it so hard. I could totally see this working for my ex if there was a facility like it around here.

I hate to admit it but I was briefly and horribly married to a heroin addict and when he went into rehab (totes against his will) they put him on methadone to keep him from going totally insane with the withdrawls. Maybe that’s what they are talking about? Not that he cleaned up, he was right back on it when he was ‘cured and released’ from the rehab.

I have more hope for Amy – I really pray she gets it together before that loser husband of hers is put back on the streets. Then she will have no chance in hell and that makes me sad.

Is any detox center more about long-term success with the patients or fiscal-quarter bottom-lines? Which will no doubt benefit from high-profile clients like Amy Winehouse? Seriously. Should we judge any of them their success ratios with spoiled, ego-heavy celebs, most of whom will relapse anyway? Or their profit/loss statements? Cynical, maybe, realistic absolutely. Welcome to business. Ethics don’t pay bills.

Beet, nothing you say in your parody, which is great, is anything other than what every addict wants to hear. It’s marketing, not therapy. Having attracted Amy Winehouse as a client/patient winds up as Staplefordâ€™s biggest coup in 2008, and if you think they are discussing anything else in their board room, come on. More likely that they are discussing Karl Marx manifestos in the Kremlin rather than arms contracts.

Besides, Amy looks hugely, strangely cute in this picture and must be reconsidered for the spank bank. For that comment, I am obviously signing up for rehab myself.
