What Parents Need to Know
About Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew
Parents need to know that while this reality series could theoretically serve as a cautionary tale for older teens by shining a harsh light on the consequences of substance abuse, the content veers into adults-only territory -- especially in the earliest episodes. Viewers will be introduced to a porn star who brings her own dildos to rehab, an actor who's consumed so many prescription pills that he's barely conscious, and an American Idol reject with a cocaine addiction. If your teens watch, make sure they're taking away the right messages.

Families Can Talk About

Teens: Do you enjoy the constant media reports about troubled celebs like Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears? If so, why? Do you look down on -- or perhaps envy -- their behavior? Parents: In an age of celebrity worship and tabloid trash-fests, is it more difficult to raise a well-adjusted, substance-free teen? How does the media both help and hinder your efforts?
