Faces and Voices of Recovery, an organization dedicated to changing the public’s perception of recovery from alcohol and drug addiction, is asking for the public’s help in speaking out against VH-1‘s show “Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew.” In a press release sent out earlier in the week, the organization is asking people to call VH-1 today as part of a National Call-in Day.
The reality show has been criticized by those in the recovery and treatment communities for the sensational way in which addiction treatment is portrayed. In response, a letter was sent to VH-1’s president, Tom Calderone, asking that the network take steps to show the true realities of treatment and to offer resources to those viewers who may need help.
