Biographical details

Eric Adams[119]

South Boston, Massachusetts[119]

heroin[119]

Eric, who is 24, began drinking when he was 15. Although he never drank heavily, he started doing drugs when he was 16,[119] after his mother – also a recovering addict – moved to Ireland to be with the father of Eric's then-two-year-old brother, who had been deported. This caused a traumatic feeling of abandonment which Eric says "broke" him.[29] His drug use began with "oxys", ecstasy and cocaine he would take while partying, and graduated to heroin when he was 19 or 20. He has been arrested about six times, and the day before he checked into rehab, he was arrested by Boston police for distribution of narcotics in a school zone. If convicted, he faces up to 20 years in prison.[119]

Ashleigh Izzi[119][120]

Los Angeles

alcohol[119]

Ashleigh's drinking began when her grandmother gave her wine at age 2. She drinks a bottle of vodka a day. As a result of her drinking, she suffers from kidney failure, peptic ulcers[119] and seizures,[119][121] for which she has been to the hospital ten times, where doctors told her she would die. She also suffers from poor body image as a result of being told she was fat, and says her mother neglected her. Pinsky says her detox symptoms could lead to full delirium tremens, and could potentially be life-threatening.[119] Ashleigh and her younger sister were both molested as children.[122]

Erika Melahn[119][123]

Hollywood, California[119]

cocaine, alcohol[119]

Erika was pressured to stay thin when she modeled as a child, which led to poor body image and anorexia nervosa. She indicates a parent figure abandoned her at 16,[119] and she was forced to move out at age 17,[124] right before she graduated high school.[119] She began doing cocaine at around age 19,[29] and moved to Hollywood at age 20 to become a model, but found the industry filled with older men who exploit young women by plying them with drugs in order to take advantage of them. Now 22, she parties a lot, and her boyfriend of 15 months, Stefanos, who is 22 years her senior, does drugs with her.[119]

Michael Mariano[119]

Roxbury, New Jersey[119]

heroin[119]

Michael, who comes from an upper-class family, says he was a straight-A student, and successful at sports as a child, winning a taekwondo championship at one point. He was 16 when he started taking marijuana, eventually graduating to ecstasy at 17, and prescription pills before turning to opiates like heroin at 18. He says he did up to 40 bags of heroin a day, but has reduced this amount, and hit rock bottom after landing in jail because of his addiction.[119] He hopes to go back to school, where he was studying business.[124]

Deanna Salamone[119][125]

Rochester, New York[119]

marijuana, ecstasy, OxyContin, heroin[119]

Deanna, who is 25 years old,[124] has a 3-year-old son named Dominic with whom she shares joint custody with her mother. Dominic's father is a drug dealer whose three-year prison sentence for weapons charges will end within days. She began taking pills when he went to prison, beginning with OxyContin, which led to heroin, 20 bags of which she takes daily. She has also sold drugs, and resorted to working as an escort for a brief time in order to afford her drugs.[119] She suffered sexual molestation from the age of 7 to 13, and was raped twice, including one time in front of her then-1-year-old son.[119][124] and another in which she was gang raped at gunpoint by six men when she was a dealer.[122] Her mother has been unsympathetic to these incidents, characterizing them as the natural consequence of being an addict and drug dealer.[124] Deanna also says she suffers psychological abuse as a child.[119]

Jasmen "Cinnamon" Evans[124][126]

Dallas, Texas[124]

alcohol[124]

She and her husband have a 4-year-old son named Jaden. She has been arrested for driving while intoxicated and suffers from blackouts and an liver enlarged by alcohol liver disease, which Dr. Drew says could develop into an advanced form if she doesn't stop drinking.[124] She suffers from guilt over throwing away a baby that was born to her when she was four months pregnant.[127] During the season she attempts to repair her relationship with her father, Mario, a recovering alcohol and heroin addict and former gang member who was not present in her life because he was 16 when she was conceived.[122]

Heather Swartz[124]

Malibu, California[124]

alcohol, crack, heroin, OxyContin, LSD, ketamine[124]

Heather, 43,[128] started drinking after she was raped at age 10. At age 15, she was selling cocaine, and had people working for her. She eventually learned how to forge signatures, which she used to sign herself out of school, after which she traveled around a lot, characterizing her life as "jet-setting to the tenth degree". She hit rock bottom shortly after she contacted the producers, and entered another rehab facility, and thus enters the Pasadena Recovery Center with a few days of sobriety. She says she can drink up to nine or ten bottles of wine a day, and sprinkles heroin on crack to "take the edginess away".[124]

Andrew "Drewbee" Arthur[124][29][129]

Tampa, Florida[124]

Ambien, Xanax, marijuana, alcohol, oxycodone, Suboxone[124]

Drewbee is a "special case" to Dr. Drew, as the letter his mother wrote to Dr. Drew stood out to him. He has done a number of different drugs since the age of 13, characterizing himself a "trash can" for lacking any one drug of choice. He says he had everything he needed as a child, and may have been "a bit spoiled". He began developing hyperactivity approximately in the third grade, for which he was put on Adderall until about the ninth grade. His joined his first band, Radio Reset, at 15, and was signed by a label at 18. He sang for the Jackson family following the death of Michael Jackson. However, his drug use ended his career by age 22. Though he is "best friends" with his musician father,[124] Jeff,[29] who taught him music, Drewbee's drug use puts him into constant conflict with his parents, particularly Jeff, whom he has abused and exploited for money and drugs. Now 25,[124][129] Drewbee takes about eight Ambien a day, which he mixes with Roxycodone, which he injects.[124] Jeff himself has been recovering from an addiction to pills for 17 years.[29] In Episode 6, Bob Forrest remarks that the level of codependency between Drewbee and his father is such that it can actually kill Drewbee, a situation Forrest had never before encountered. In the same episode, Pinsky reveals that Drewbee suffered head injuries that further hampers his judgment.[122]
