WHY this is a recipe for disaster:
Celebrities need handlers, assistants, recovery coaches, life coaches and PR people to tell them what to do and how to behave. It is the nature of the industry. They show up, get handed the script or song and are told read this, sing that, stand here. They have little to no identity and feel lost and confused most of the time. This is why we see the success with Recovery Coaches or Sober Coaches and celebrities. The Recovery Coach can educate the other staff on what to look for in terms of drug use and possible relapses with their client. The Recovery Coach can be there when the triggers arise and the client starts to want to get high. I guarantee you before Philip Seymour Hoffman was found dead there were signs of use. A Recovery Coach could most likely have prevented the entire thing, if not at least been on hand to save him. Recovery Coaches are wonderful tools that are not used enough in the celebrity lifestyle.
