Massie’s Celebrity Rehab Ep2 Recap 
Day 2: Detox
The Introductions are over, and now the patients must deal with the hardest part of treatment… detox. The patients are sick and agitated, as their high is wearing off.
Despite not feeling well, the celebrities meet in a ‘process group’ to discuss a specific low point in their life. Mackenzie details her experience of getting busted at LAX with drugs and the humiliating experience of begging her arresting officers, “Please don’t bust me, I’m somebody’s mother”.
Listening on, Rodman plays with his nails (His dedication is profound).
Mindy’s next, and she reveals that while her boyfriend beating her to the point that he was charged with attempted murder was a low point, it wasn’t nearly as bad as the previous times. The times she covered it up.
She explains that she allowed it to happen because she thought she loved him. “Don’t call that love”, Dr. Drew rightly explains.
Dennis, despite having the Newport Beach Police at his house 70 times, feels he has no bottom because he “keeps it real cool” (I don’t even know what that means, but someone is a little Looney Tunes).
Of them all, Mike Starr is experiencing the most serious withdrawal and is raging out against anyone or anything that gets near him. “I feel like a fucking asshole; fuck you people”.
Indeed, every other word out of his mouth is an F-bomb.
It’s so bad that the staff has been told to watch him carefully, as they fear he might harm himself. He even asks for diet pills, so as to not be seen as a “fat pig on TV” (Buddy that’s the least of your problems)
That night, Mike throws up numerous times, but, Joey’s nose has been so damaged by cocaine, that he -his roommate- can’t even smell it.
Shelly can; and can’t stop squealing “Oh my God, Oh my God, Oh my God,”.
It’s so bad, she now wants to throw-up (You know that room smelled like skunk, decaying flesh, feces and urine combined).
Lisa D’Amato, like Dennis, has refused to admit she has an addiction, so Dr. Drew orders her to write down the important experiences in her life.
She elaborates on the sexual abuse she endured.
As an 8 yr old, she’d return home from school to find her mother’s boyfriend, in underwear, fondling a boner.
He’d “mess” with her on afternoons, but doesn’t know if he had sex with her because, to cope, she’d cover her head with the sheet and just rock. (A movement she shows to Dr. Drew which seemed to make her a vulnerable 8 yr old again)
You have a full on addiction, Dr. Drew makes clear. Her childhood was a sever trauma. (You think?)
Mike Loses It
Shelly chairs a group session and asks who can identify as an addict.
Everyone says yes, except Dennis who is adamant about not slowing down his drinking because “That’s one thang that’s not goin’ to kill me.”
(Two things struck me. Dennis is 49 and looks pretty good for it, and Joey is way too accepting and gung-ho; I think he’s fake as fuck!)
The next morning, everyone is ready for a 12 Step meeting except Mike, whose mood just gets worse and worse.
Shelly tries getting him up, but his response is “Get the fuck out of her you bitch”. (Shelly isn’t fazed by his comments at all, since it’s clear that it’s not the first time she has been told that.)
Mike continues, “Go fuck yourself!”, “You fucking cunt” (You have to admit, addicts have charm).
Mike’s behavior eventually turns psychotic, alternating between a zombie daze and stressed by the camera crew. Dr. Drew and Shirley are close to transferring him to Huntington -a less casual treatment center.
They even contemplate “a show of force”, but Dr. Drew is able to get through to him (Dr. Drew knows how to penetrate… through to people.)
Meanwhile, Tom Sizemore, has yet to show.
Bob -who has a history with him- goes off to ‘land’ him.
Bob finds out that Tom is in his house with his new girlfriend shooting up on drugs (Well, least it’s safe to figure out how they met).
Crystal meth is his drug of choice and Bob describes him as a “straight down the middle drug addict”.
Tom leaves, eventually, only to jump out of Bob’s car on their way to the center. Bob is ‘forced’ to think like a drug addict to find Tom, but with little success (The way Bob looks, I had my money on him finding Tom in under 30 seconds).
End Of The Day
In bed, Mindy and Mackenzie are chatting and having a laugh at one of Dr. Drew’s questions when Mindy’s face freezes in laughter and she topples, statue-like, to the floor.
She’s having a seizure!
Initially Mackenzie thinks she is faking it, and shares in the joke, laughing hysterically. (I guess you had to be there to get the funny).
But she soon realizes it’s not a joke and runs for help as the episode runs out of time.
Hot recap, no pictures.
I’ll ask ‘Matic to get some later, but until then, it’s a bald recap because I can’t access VH1′s video.
Thank you for the recap, and comments…I always shoot straight to those. Question for you head honcho’s, are you guys going to cover Celebrity Fit Club: Boot Camp?
Definitely!!!
How could we not with Kevin Federline on it!?
And it’s Massie’s (centre-pic in the hall picture above the post) recap, so all credit to her.
Fantastic! I forgot that K-Fed was going to be on it. I’m secretly hoping Dustin (d-bag) Diamond shows up just to get dumped on, heh. I love Bourgy, you and Matic (Massie?) are my favorite for creating/contributing to this site.
Love the recap Massie!
Although I believe Dennis has major issues that need to be resolved at least he’s being real. He doesn’t want to be there and his only alternative is jail. So he’ll sit there but when they ask him about “his” addiction he’s going to keep saying the same thing. I’m sure it would be different if he checked himself in. Maybe listening to what the others are going through will help him see his lifestyle sucks. I mean the police at your door 70 times? Damn! He better be lucky he’s famous cuz around here if they had to keep coming back he would have gotten the hell beat out of him by some crazy cop or be sitting in county lock up for awhile.
Will Dennis got arrested on the day of the premiere for an alcohol related incident.
So there is no chance he learnt anything
Well like they mentioned: He has to hit rock bottom to realize he needs help.
Don’t you just love that silent pose on the picnic table that Mike gave? LOL!
Those camera men are brave as hell. I think I would have left him to film someone else. It was like when you see those animal kingdom shows and the Lion/tiger/ cobra/whatever sees it’s prey and waits for it to come closer so it can strike
It was Zen.
And I thought about that too, then I realized the camera men knew he’s all talk.
Check your e-mail. I sent you pics for this recap.
I guess they knew but you never know with addicts.I mean he did destroy that lamp in his room but I guess without the drugs he’s in a weaker state and all mouth.
Poor Shelly! You should never have to get used to being cursed out! But then again in season one didn’t someone make her cry? I think I remember her going into that office and closing teh door and crying.
Thanks… perfectamente!
I’m also about to send you my recap with pics in a few minutes too. All I need to do is get the pics.
god i feel so bad for shelly
they give her a hard time
Now Dennis is really making me worry about him even more…He is truly a Black man that don’t wanna open up about anything! And Mike throwing up was freaking Vile! Im surprised Joey slept in there still!
One observation that I made elsewhere was that Dr Drew misinterpreted Mike’s “psychotic break with reality” with a guy who was dope sick and super pissed off and didn’t want to talk to anybody. Yeah the behavior was strange but not deserving of a psych hospital- preceded by 48 hours in holding with the police! C’mon, that’s crap.
I tend to agree based on the little I saw.
And why give him valium? I’m not certain that’s the best treatment drug for Mike.
No need for your full name though, Paul.
I wouldn’t want anyone to Google you or anything.
OT:
Steupz you hear about the Trey Songz/Just Right foolishness? She’s been tryin 2 cover up for him (it was revealed that he into dudes earlier this week/last week) with all these freaky azz tweets and whutnot. Supposedly she’s married still or somethin, which iz sad esp. when you put her kids into da equation.
What!!! She is doing “Danger Syndrome”! Come on FTLORJ gals stop messing with the R&B and Hip-Hop artist please!
It ain’t gonna stop LOL! VH1 dun started castin jumpoffs, sidepieces, hos (actual hos w/ pimps to match), skrippers (not strippers like Chardonnay, skrippers like Baker.). Gone are the days of castin girls like Bootz, Dee, and Black; now you got Baker, Just Right, Heartbreaker, Luscious, Danger, Ashley, etc.
LMMFAO
This comment makes me think I should bring back quote of the week in the sidebar
LOL!
Ashley and Danger are alirght
In terms of being good castmembers, yes (despite how Ashley helped destroy Charm School 3); but it don’t excuse da fact that both of ‘em are hos. I like Danger, no matta how psycho she iz, but she also a ho.
Oh you’re talking bout hos? Name every girl on VH1 then!
J, that’s classic VH1, everything repeats.
I believe that is so true…But i guess things never change!LOL
Da fuck?
Link me to something mate; I gotta read that.

Sandra Rose iz a cunt though lol.
Grazi
A seizure is a scary thing I kind of wonder why they would put it on Tv unless it was fake. Im not saying its fake its real i think
Why wouldn’t they show it on TV if it was real? The whole point of the show is to illustrate the horrors of drug use and withdrawal.
I think we are so accustomed to Network’s bitching out that it’s a surprise sometimes.
