I don't normally respond to NFR posts but this one hits on my turf. I run a rehab program and have done so for 26 years. Based on what I've read about the Rush incident my deduction would be that this will most likely not be the end of the line for him using pain medication unless he has the hammer of the law hanging over his head. I have seen too many addicts come and go. 99% of the time they don't seek recovery until they have no where else to go and are knocking on death's door. Another problem is that the more money and more powerful they are the harder it is for them to stop. I'm sure the only reason he's heading for rehab now is because he knows the broke the law either purchasing pain killers on the street or illegally over the counter in a pharmacy. Either way he's trying to gain sympathy from the cops. That's obvious by the fact that his lawyer has already met with detectives on Friday. Oxycontin is one of the worst to get addicted to and based on the length and severity of his use, I can tell you that he has a long hard road ahead of him and the odds of staying clean aren't in his favor. Doesn't make any difference what your political affiliation is when it comes to drugs and alcohol addiction it's all the same. Your life eventually becomes hell and so does the lives of those who love you.
