She was certainly the only one to tell the truth about it. Ford's example--admitting she had a problem with alcohol and prescription drugs a year after leaving the White House, then checking into a treatment program--made seeking a remedy for addiction more acceptable, even courageous, especially for women." (LOS ANGELES TIMES) This article profiles the Betty Ford Center, "known as a rehab hideaway for celebrities." The clinic "redefined the treatment of addiction. It replaced the image of pickled lowlifes howling and shivering their way through detox with a more enlightened picture. It pioneered gender-specific treatment and acknowledged and treated addiction as a family problem."| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due |
