VH1, Dr. Drew and Irwin Entertainment have expanded their documentary
series on addiction to examine one of society's most taboo topics, sex
addiction, in the upcoming series "Sex Rehab With Dr. Drew." The series
is set to premiere on VH1 on Sunday, November 1 at 10pm*.
Addictions are nothing new, and most people are aware of those involving alcohol, drugs, and eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia, but few know about and understand sex addiction. It afflicts roughly 3%-6% of the American population, and just like other addictions, its impact on personal lives can be devastating. The affliction can wreak havoc on the mental and physical health of those afflicted as well as destroy marriages, families, careers and even finances.

Dr. Drew and a team of the nation's foremost experts on sexual
addiction will guide eight patients through an intensive state of the
art program. Living together for 21 days, they'll meet with Dr. Drew in
daily one-on-one and group therapy sessions in order to get to the root
of their compulsive behavior.
Dr. Drew is a highly respected practicing MD, is board certified in addiction medicine and assistant clinical professor of psychiatry at KECK USC School of Medicine, who will once again give viewers an unflinching look at exactly how the rehab process works and what it feels like for participants.

Beginning Monday, October 26 fans can catch a sneak peek of the season's first episode on VH1.com - one week before the on-air premiere. Subsequent episodes will be available on VH1.com the morning after they air. Additional video content from "Sex Rehab With Dr. Drew" including extras from each episode will be available on VH1.com and on VH1 Mobile throughout the season.
