Britney Spears and “Promises”

When singer/actress and teeny bopper icon Britney Spears shaved her head in February 2007 and shared with the world that she was having emotional problems due to substance abuse, the tabloids held open season on the poor young woman. She quickly – and wisely -- checked into what must be one of the most luxurious alcohol/drug rehabilitation centers in the United States, if not the world - Promises, with alcohol and drug rehab live-in facilities in Malibu and South Los Angeles.

While its environments are knockout gorgeous, its holistic approach to treatment is its drawing card. They promise to deliver a comprehensive treatment program that combines the best parts of a 12-step program with comprehensive detoxification and medical treatment.

“As part of our dedication to individual treatment approaches, we make use of all drug and alcohol treatment tools at our disposal: – medical, social, psychological and spiritual approaches to treat the addict. Because alcoholism and drug addiction have many, many causes, it makes sense that varying treatments are needed,” says “Promises.”
