As the midpoint of Celebrity Rehab 2 draws near, the patients at Pasadena Recovery Center are going to start facing tough emotional issues while they explore what is behind their addictive behavior. With this in mind, Dr. Drew leads a discussion about mothers, a subject that can be particularly touchy to some addicts. Steven Adler’s abandonment issues, for example, are a direct result of a dysfunctional relationship with his mother. Amber Smith shares that she was forced to support her drug-addicted mother at a very young age. Nikki McKibbin can also relate, as her mother’s death was a result of many years of alcohol and drug abuse.

While the detox process is painful and difficult for all the patients, most are making it through without complications, until Mindy McCready suffers an intense seizure and is taken to the hospital.

Dr. Drew's patients are just beginning the treatment process, and as many of them are life-long drug users, the physical effects of detox are severe for many of the addicts.

Under the compassionate supervision of addiction expert Dr. Drew Pinsky, celebrities such as Mackenzie Phillips, Tom Sizemore and Dennis Rodman partake in a rigorous rehab program that forces them to openly confront their destructive dependencies. In Season 3 of this life-altering reality series, Lisa D'Amato revisits her childhood abuse, Mindy McCready suffers seizures and Heidi Fleiss reveals her obsession with birds.
