Celebrity Treatment Success Stories

Sure, we have all seen photos of Angelina Jolie and her army of children looking absolutely perfect at some fabulous red carpet event or another. But did you know that she once struggled with a heroin addiction?

We have all probably seen the Iron Man films with Robert Downey Jr. effortlessly fighting against evil and looking incredibly handsome while doing it. However, did you know that he has been arrested for multiple drug-related charges such as heroin possession?

Trying to maintain sobriety post treatment may prove difficult, but here is a list of celebrities that prove you can turn your life around.

  1. Angelina Jolie. Labeled one of the world’s most beautiful women on more than one occasion, Jolie has revealed that she struggled with drug abuse during her teens and early twenties. She entered rehab multiples times and had multiple relapses, but today she states “I just haven’t known life to be any happier.”
  2. Robert Downey Jr. The man who once escaped from rehab twice and had multiple arrests, has turned into one of the highest paid actors currently working.
  3. Nicole Richie. Daughter of music legend Lionel Ritchie, Nicole repeatedly had issues with cocaine, prescription pills, and heroin, along with multiple arrests. Flash forward and she is now happily married, with two kids, and drug free.
  4. Russell Brand. Once an avid user of marijuana, alcohol, acid, speed, coke, crack, and heroin, Brand finally checked into rehab when he was told that “in six months’ time he’s going to be dead, in prison, or in an asylum.”
