Cast

Staff

  • Dr. Drew Pinsky - Dr. Drew recently went through the trial of experiencing a failed RFA on the English wikipedia. Dr. Drew self nomned himself, finishing with 42% support. Most opposers cited Dr. Drew's lack of using edit summaries. Drew has said he himself needs consolidation after this experience. Pinsky is the star of the show, and the lead specialist who treats the patients. A board-certified internist and addiction medicine specialist, he rose to fame as the host of the nationally syndicated radio talk show, Loveline, and star of Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew, of which Sex Rehab is a spinoff.
  • Jill Vermeire, MFT - A sex addiction therapist. She is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (MFC #41255) who received her Masters in Clinical Psychology at Pepperdine University.
  • Selma - Lead Technician. She was fired in Episode 6 following an altercation between her and patient Kari Ann Peniche.
  • Louis - Resident Technician.
  • Dr. John Sealy - A psychiatrist who appears in two episodes for one-on-one sessions with Kari Ann and Duncan. According to cast member Duncan Roy, he also acts as a consultant for the production.
  • Shelly Sprague - An alumna of Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew, Shelly is a Resident Technician who runs the floor, and a recovering addict herself. She met Pinsky through Bob Forrest, a fellow recovering addict and colleague of Drew's with whom Sprague used to do drugs. She runs a center at Las Encinas Hospital in Pasadena, California. Nicknamed "The Shark", she arrives in Episode 6 to replace Selma.

Patients

Production

Patient Kari Ann Peniche's participation in the treatment program was marred by her aggressive and erratic behavior; verbally abusing the staff and other patients, refusing to participate in group discussions or obey rules, and voicing various bizarre or paranoid ideations, such as that people were laughing at her when they apparently were not, and smiling uncontrollably even when she was angry or discussing very sad topics. Dr. Pinsky became suspicious that she was using illicit substances, or had been prior to being admitted, and the staff psychiatrist diagnosed her as having Borderline Personality Disorder, both of which require treatment before any treatment can be done for sexual addiction. She was eventually discharged involuntarily for failing to obey the rules. Pinsky offered her an alternative program at a psychiatric hospital nearby, but she angrily refused.

Criticism

Drew Pinsky, producer John Irwin and Irwin Entertainment, which produce the show, have been criticized by addiction specialists in regard to Celebrity Rehab, from which Sex Rehab was spun off, for allegedly poor treatment techniques. With respect to Sex Rehab in particular, alumnus Duncan Roy has criticized the show's producers for prioritizing titilation and drama over rehabilitation for the patients in terms of casting, filming tactics and their editing choices, claiming that they instigated the behavior that resulted in Kari Ann Peniche's expulsion from the program in order to create a more watchable program. Roy has also questioned Pinsky's competence, saying that Jill Vermeire and Dr. John Sealy were his true source of therapeutic insight, and that while Pinsky is adept at treating drug and alcohol addiction, he is not knowledgeable in sex addiction, and merely repeated Vermeire's ideas. Roy further alleged that Sealy, whom Roy perceived as genuinely interested in helping sex addicts, confided in him that the producers had other motivations, and kept his involvement in the show minimal because he was not telegenic enough.Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).
