"Intake"
The show starts out with clips of Celebrities with addiction problems. Dr. Drew says overdose deaths have increased by 114%. Wow! I have to wonder how much of that is prescription drugs.
Dr. Drew says sadly we lost two of our own this year. They put up pictures of Mike Starr and Jeff Conaway. There are four articles on Jeff Conaway so scroll down after clicking the link So sad. Dr. Drew says that only strengthens his resolve to fight this disease. I swear I don't know how Dr. Drew does it.

Jeff Conaway Has Died - So Sad
Well I waited to post anything until I heard from Dr. Drew, since people have been posting Jeff Conaway died for the last two weeks. I didn't want it to be true, but Dr. Drew says it is, so I guess I'll have to believe it.
It looks like from the report's Jeff was taken off of the ventilator Thursday and succumbed to his illness on Friday. I don't know how reliable that information is, except that it does appear he died Friday.

Is Jeff Conaway Dead or Alive?
Who knows? It's hard to say, who do you believe? There have been so many stories out there I'm not sure what to believe.
On May 18th, reports started emerging that Jeff Conaway was in the hospital in a coma from an apparent drug over dose.
May 20th, Dr. Drew tweeted that Jeff Conaway did not have a drug overdose he had pneumonia and sepsis and was expected to recover. He also said he was in a medically induced coma.
All this I shared with you when I found out.
On Thursday May 26th, I guess it is Friday now, so yesterday. TV Guide reported that Radar Online had reported that Jeff Conaway may be taken off of life support later in the day, that the feeding tube had been removed and that he had been brain dead since he was brought into the hospital.

Jeff Conaway To Recover - Not A Drug Overdose
I'm so happy. Dr. Drew just tweeted he visited Jeff Conaway and he is doing better. He is stable and recovering from pneumonia, not a drug overdose as all the news people reported. I sure am so glad I saw that tweet!
I really hope Jeff gets well soon. He certainly has had a time of it lately. I'm so glad to hear it wasn't a drug overdose as the press initially reported.
I also have to wonder how many of them will make the correction as I am doing. I'll bet it won't be as many as reported he was in a coma from a drug overdose.
Update 05/21/2011 Someone asked Dr. Drew Why Jeff Conaway's manager is giving all the reports he is in a coma. Dr. Drew responded. He is in a medically induced coma. He is actually on a Propafol drip. Someone else asked if that meant he was on a vent? Dr. Drew responded "Right. Pneumonia with Sepsis. No evidence of intentional OD".
I sure hope Jeff can recover from this.

Jeff Conaway In A Coma
This makes me so sad and mad. Most of you probably will recognize Jeff Conaway from his performances in Taxi and Grease. He is now 60 years old and was found unconscious on May 1. He is in a coma from an apparent drug overdose. He is in an Encino hospital in critical condition.
