All three, as well as Laurer and Foxworth, would eventually relapse; some re-entered treatment. VH1 aired a reunion special following season 1. Although Conaway was able to maintain sobriety from alcohol and cocaine, he continued to abuse analgesics for his back pain. He re-entered treatment in the show's second season. Binzer also ended up in several episodes of the second season, as well as the Sober House spin-off series. Laurer was hospitalized in December 2008 and was reportedly going to return to rehab. ^[2] Nielsen and Rodriguez have reportedly maintained their sobriety. Pinsky has said on numerous occasions that Nielsen has quit drinking and also gave up smoking. Nielsen has also appeared on his radio shows to talk about her sobriety. The status of Baldwin's sobriety is unknown. As of May 2009, Foxworth is reportedly sober and gave birth to a son,^[3] Sierra has tested "clean and sober" for a year and a half following a court-ordered year of treatment at the Pasadena Recovery Center,^[4] and Carey has relapsed and returned to porn, starring in and directing a parody film called Celebrity Pornhab with Dr. Screw, a decision Pinsky said made him "very sad". ^[5]

[edit] Season 2

Season 2 of Celebrity Rehab premiered on October 23, 2008. In addition to a new cast of recovering addicts, actor and recovering cocaine addict Gary Busey entered the program – not as a patient, but, as a participant to assist others in their recoveries (as stated in his contract, and as confirmed by VH1's official press release about Season 2).^[6][7] Busey admitted to using medical marijuana during his intake interview – despite publicly claiming to have been drug-free for the last 13 years.
