These days, you can’t help but notice that more and more rehab stories featuring A-list celebs are making it onto the news. The media talks about it as if it is some sort of trendy move. The truth of the matter is that most of the celebrities who enter rehab are in a terrible time in their lives, and need honest help.

What people may not understand is that all the money in the world can’t stop your husband from cheating on you. It can’t stop tabloids from pointing out the most minimal amount of cellulite on you buttocks and thighs. Even if you believe money can buy happiness to an extent, you have to realize that it can not act as a barrier against unhappiness. Having millions of dollars doesn’t stop your child from dieing, as was the recent case with Model Anna Nicole Smith.

Consider the amount of drug rehabilitation centers there are in the world. Obviously with that number of centers, it can’t just be celebrities who have addiction problems. The amount of celebrities entering rehab, compared to the amount of celebrities in the world is such a small figure. The media has the ability to magnify numbers to help sell their story.

The people who portray rehab centers as a joke, and the average person who buys into rehab as a fashion statement are hurting the celebrity. They are providing celebrities with the thought process that rehab is a waste of time, and it won’t truly help them. It should be seen as a sad truth which society must face, that everyone has their secrets, and their problems, instead of the game it is being made out to be.

The media has always attempted to gain from others misfortune. It isn’t a new fashion, just an old concept which has been adapted to modern times.
