Do Celebrities get preferential treatment...Mr. O'Brien appears to..but the average person is more than likely not going to be given a second chance..interesting comment referencing Mr. Bush in this article as well...as a recovering alcoholic...BD
When celebrity TV host Pat O'Brien reportedly entered a rehab facility last week for alcohol abuse, his name was merely scribbled onto the long list of Hollywood players to admit a substance problem and seek treatment before an inevitable return to the spotlight. "Remember," he said, "even our president is a recovering alcoholic. His credibility obviously wasn't an issue in his election."
For celebrities, a swing through the revolving door of rehab is often not just a career blip but a right of passage. That's quite a contrast from ordinary Americans with drug addictions, most of whom are given far fewer chances to get their professional lives back on track. Indeed, nearly one in four human resource professionals say their companies are less likely to hire a person in recovery from drug or alcohol addiction, according to a survey conducted by the Minnesota-based Hazelden Foundation as part of its corporate education campaign.
