No matter how much he could help her, it would come off more sincere if Dr. Drew did this shiz in private.
Unlike most of America, Dr. Drew Pinsky believes that Lindsay Lohan should not be in jail.
He said:
“Jail will only harden her. I have in the past and I even would be willing to go in front of the judge, if Lindsay asked me to, and ask that she be placed in my care to begin a year long residential treatment, at the minimum. The judge ordered Lindsay to 90 days of treatment, and that just won’t be enough for her sadly.”
But he doesn’t believe there is a united front regarding her addiction. For instance, she was prescribed the potent drug Dilaudid for two weeks after having her wisdom teeth removed.
Dr. Drew continued:
“Lindsay shouldn’t have been prescribed Dilaudid, except with great caution and the participation of an addiction team. She is an addict with unstable active disease, and Dilaudid can only make that much worse.
I always treat patients with a team in place. I never treat addicts alone. As a doctor, you can’t get sucked into that person’s disease, and the disease is so very powerful. Lindsay needs to have a team of doctor’s treating her. It’s also why we send families to Al-Anon, so the family
can stand with others so that the addict knows all on the same page.
I have had lots of experience with Adderall.
There seems to be problematic issues related to Adderall, addicts seem to do OK on Adderall short-term, but as time goes on, the drug becomes an issue. I think what we saw in court last week with Lindsay was related to issues she could be having with Adderall.
I have always said someday, she will make an amazing sober person. I have only wanted the best for her, and my only intention is to help and not harm her.”
Riiiiight. But we won’t argue that she truly needs help!
