Meet the celebrities who will receive treatment for drug and alcohol addiction this season on Celebrity Rehab.
Michael Lohan, actress Lindsay Lohan's father, says he is an alcoholic and former cocaine abuser. He hopes that by going to rehab and getting clean on television he can show his daughter Lindsay that she could do it as well.
Amy Fisher went to jail for shooting Joey Buttofouco's wife in the face when she was a teenager. She is now a wife and mother of 3 who works in the adult entertainment business. She is on Celebrity Rehab to treat an alcohol addiction.
Jeremy Jackson is a former actor most recognized for his role on Baywatch as Hobie Buchannon. In 2000 he was arrested for manufacturing methamphetamines. More recently he has been abusing steroids and wishes to get treatment for his addiction.
Bai Ling is an actress most famous for her role in "The Crow". In 2008 Bai Ling was arrested for shoplifting at LAX. She claims to be allergic to alcohol but is currently battling an alcohol addiction.
Dwight Gooden had a very successful career in baseball as a pitcher for almost 2 decades. He has an addiction to cocaine which resulted in him being released from the Yankees roster in 2001.
Sean Young is a well known actress, you may remember her as Lois Einhorn in "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective". In 2008 Sean Young checked herself into rehab for alcohol abuse after she had to be physically removed from a Directors Guild of America awards ceremony for being intoxicated and heckling one of the nominees.
Jessica Kiper aka Sugar was a very well liked contestant on the reality show Survivor for seasons 17 and 20. Survivor billed Sugar as a pin-up model when we were first introduced to her in Survivor Gabon. Sugar has a severe addiction to marajuana and alcohol.
Steven Adler is the former drummer of Guns N' Roses. He was kicked out of the band because of his drug usage. Adler was on Season 2 of Celebrity Rehab and he was also in the show's spinoff called Sober House. He is here this season to try sobriety again and to hopefully kick his drug habit completely.
