Celebrity Rehab

Dr. Drew believes Scott Disick is in far worse shape than anyone believes, because his choice of rehab is dangerous, generally used by heroin addicts, and he's destined to relapse.

The good doc was at LAX Sunday when our photog asked about Disick's decision to leave the Costa Rica rehab facility Monday, after only one week of treatment. Scott says he has pressing business in L.A., but Drew says it's a common rich-people's avoidance technique.

Scott Disick has decided he's too busy to stay locked down in rehab ... we've learned he's bailing on the facility in Costa Rica.

Sources close to Scott tell TMZ ... Disick had actually booked a flight Saturday to LA but he didn't get on the plane. Scott entered a rehab facility in Costa Rica last Monday, where he was undergoing an intensive therapy involving the African psychedelic shrub Iboga.

Disick's people tell us he decided not to take that flight but will leave that facility Monday because he has too much business in LA to deal with. As for why he didn't get on the plane today, we're told he wanted to complete a full week of treatment before bailing. The normal length of treatment is three times that -- 21 days.

Scott Disick is fed up with traditional rehab treatments, so he's taking an all natural option -- as in sucking down hallucinogenic plants in the jungle ... under the supervision of a shaman, of course.

As we reported ... Scott checked into the Rythmia Life Advancement Center in Costa Rica, where we're told they use the African psychedelic shrub Iboga to send patients on a vision quest.

Hang with us ... it's about get even trippier. These "Iboga flights" are supposed to force users to examine their inner selves so they can learn what triggers their addictions. Sources connected to Scott tell us a shaman observes the entire trip, and the center says it's so effective ... it boasts a money back guarantee.

We're told Disick briefly visited the facility last month to research the place and was convinced Iboga could help him fight his alcohol demons.

Treatment can take several weeks, or as brief as one week -- but that would be one helluva trip ... we're guessing.

Scott Disick has decided to go to rehab, after an insane, tequila-fueled weekend.

Disick checked into Rythmia Life Advancement Center in Costa Rica. He says, "I realize my issues are bigger than me and I'm ready to truly remedy this struggle I continue to battle."

Scott was in Atlantic City over the weekend where he did multiple shots of tequila right out in the open. He then went on a rant onstage and ended the night at 8 AM, where he was stumbling in the hotel lobby without shoes. At 5 PM people went to his room to do a welfare check when he was MIA.

Scott has had multiple problems with alcohol and has vowed to maintain his sobriety, especially after his girlfriend Kourtney gave him an ultimatum.

As for his treatment, he says he is doing Iboga treatment, which involves roots from a small African tree that supposedly helps people battle addiction.

As for the facility, Rythmia is located on a private estate offering a "luxurious world-class experience" including a five-star restaurant, full-service spa with mud bath, and fitness center.

Johnny Manziel is getting some major support from the greatest Brown of them all ... Jim Brown ... who tells TMZ Sports he's proud of the QB for extending his stay in a treatment program.

The Cleveland Browns legend was leaving Craig's in West Hollywood last night when he told us, "I think [Manziel] made a great move to go into therapy ... I'm very happy for him."

FYI -- the Browns recently announced that Manziel has decided to stay in his treatment program beyond the usual 28-day minimum.

Bobbi Kristina's aunt is pissed at Dr. Phil for making it seem Nick Gordon is a poor soul who needs help, at the same time he's under criminal investigation for allegedly trying to do in Bobbi Kristina.

Leolah Brown indignantly went on Facebook Saturday night and railed on the TV show for giving Gordon a platform, saying, "We have strong evidence of foul play. Until this investigation is completed by law enforcement, I would ask that you or anyone else not provide this individual a platform to spin this situation to his benefit."

TMZ broke the story ... the criminal investigation was launched when authorities found injuries on Bobbi Kristina's body after she was dragged out of the bathtub. Gordon has refused to be interviewed by cops or tell the Brown family what happened.

Leolah added, "If Nick Gordon does not have the courage to speak with my brother Bobby Brown and/or law enforcement about what happened the day my niece's body was found in a bathtub, he does not deserve to have a platform to speak to anyone of your caliber until this investigation is concluded."

Dr. Phil did an intervention with Nick, who says he's constantly high on booze and Xanax. Phil's show paid for the rehab ... we don't know if there was more in it for Nick.

Nick Gordon was so whacked out on drugs and alcohol before his "interview" with Dr. Phil, he couldn't even walk and was pushed around on a luggage cart.

Our sources say Nick was staying at an Atlanta hotel for what he believed was an interview with Phil ... when in fact it was an intervention staged by Nick's mom. We're told Nick's lawyer would not allow him to talk about anything connected with the events that led up to Bobbi Kristina's tragedy.

Nick's mom did a lot of the talking, and told Phil her son was deep into booze and Xanax. Nick was so messed up he could barely form sentences.

When Nick realized this was an intervention to get him into rehab, he went nuts. We're told on his way out of the interview he punched 2 members of Dr. Phil's staff.

Nick Gordon checked into rehab for drugs after ranting he might kill himself during a taped appearance with Dr. Phil.

Bobbi Kristina's boyfriend sat down with Dr. Phil in Atlanta earlier this week for what he thought would be an interview -- but we're told it was more like an intervention organized by Phil and Gordon's mother.

During the taping, Gordon talked about committing suicide if Bobbi Kristina didn't pull out of the coma. We're told Gordon's mother complained her son was severely depressed and abusing drugs.

It's unclear where Gordon is getting treatment and for how long.

Paris Hilton's little brother got his ass into rehab almost immediately after he allegedly went nuts on a British Airways flight last summer ... TMZ has learned.

Conrad Hilton appeared in court Tuesday after surrendering to authorities investigating a bizarre incident. We broke the story ... 20-year-old Hilton allegedly berated and threatened the crew during the July, 2014 flight from London to LAX.

Conrad told feds he had taken a sleeping pill before boarding the plane ... which his attorney Robert Shapiro says could have caused the outburst.

Sources connected with the Hiltons tell us ... right after the incident ... Conrad voluntarily checked into a 30-day inpatient drug and alcohol treatment program.

Hilton was released on $100,000 bail at Tuesday's hearing. He was ordered to surrender his passport and remain in California.

Johnny Manziel has checked into a treatment center ... this according to multiple members of Manziel's camp.

A rep for the Cleveland Browns issued a statement saying, "Brad Beckworth, friend and advisor to Manziel and his family, has confirmed that Johnny entered treatment on Wednesday."

"Johnny knows there are areas in which he needs to improve in order to be a better family member, friend and teammate and he thought the off-season was the right time to take this step."

"On behalf of Johnny and his family, we’re asking for..privacy until he rejoins the team in Cleveland."

The Browns did not say exactly why Manziel is being treated -- but it seems pretty obvious ... considering his penchant for partying.

Earlier this season, ESPN's Skip Bayless said he'd spoken with several people close to the Browns QB and was convinced Johnny is an alcoholic.

Johnny responded to the criticism by hitting the bar scene -- and after the season, was seen chugging champagne at a hotel pool.

David Cassidy is back in the saddle after successfully completing the final part of his court-ordered DUI rehab.

Cassidy has conquered his alcohol demons -- at least short term -- after his third DUI arrest since 2010. A L.A. judge signed off on his proof of completing the 9-month alcohol ed program.

He also completed his 90-day stint at a rehab joint.

The judge had kind words for Cassidy, but he wasn't there to hear them ... David's on tour. So his attorney Steve Graff Levine conveyed the judge's praise to his client.

He's not in the clear yet ... he's still got 50 months left before his probation ends.

UFC champ Jon Jones left rehab after one night ... this according to the fighter's mother.

Camille Jones spoke with WBNG in Binghamton, NY -- and said Jon will attend the Colts vs. Patriots game this weekend to watch his two brothers (who are on separate teams) battle it out on the field.

Camille did not explain why Jones made the decision to leave the rehab center so soon -- especially after testing positive for cocaine after his UFC 182 fight against Daniel Cormier.

His mother told WBNG she's glad he got caught in the first place.

"This stopped him in his tracks, this let him know that he may need to change some friends ... because everyone is not for you for the best," Camille said.

"Me and my husband considered [the positive test] a blessing from God that our child was able to be helped and know that he need to stop and know that he needed the assistance to stop before it came to something worse."

According to Camille, the unannounced drug test came the day after Jon was hanging with friends and "did something he shouldn't have done."

UFC light heavyweight champ Jon "Bones" Jones has checked himself into a drug treatment facility after testing positive for cocaine.

Jones failed a drug test prior to his decisive victory over Daniel Cormier at UFC 182 on Saturday.

In a statement, Jones said, "I want to apologize to my fiancée, my children, as well as my mother, father, and brothers for the mistake that I made. I also want to apologize to the UFC, my coaches, my sponsors and equally important to my fans. I am taking this treatment program very seriously."

UFC honcho Dana White released a statement supporting Jones' decision, saying, "I am proud of Jon Jones for making the decision to enter a drug treatment facility. I'm confident he'll emerge from this program like the champion he truly is."

Michael Phelps is finally out of rehab -- but it seems like he's already picked up an old habit ... Miss California.

Nearly two months after entering a treatment center following his second DUI arrest, Phelps spent his Thanksgiving with family members ... and on-and-off girlfriend Nicole Johnson (Miss California 2010).

Phelps and Johnson have been together ... and then not together ... and then together again ... since 2007. According to Johnson, they're officially back-on ... and even had a movie "date night" last week.

Phelps was joined at Thanksgiving by his mother, sister and other family members -- and it's interesting to note there was wine at the dinner table ... since Phelps is clearly struggling with alcohol.

Shia LaBeouf showed up in a NYC court Tuesday AM to show a judge he is successfully rehabbing himself after getting arrested for disorderly conduct.

Shia brought paper proof he's on track to complete his 6 months of outpatient alcohol rehab ... this after getting arrested for drunkenly disrupting a performance of "Cabaret" last June at Studio 54 in NYC. As he was escorted out of the show he screamed, "Do you know who the f*** I am?" Later at the precinct, he spit at a police officer.

The judge gave Shia a thumbs-up and then said he wanted to see him in March when he completed the rehab classes.

Shia has been spending lots of time working out for his new movie "Man Down."

Man up.

Demi Lovato and Miley Cyrus -- both Disney disciples and current pop icons -- have cut ties ... so says Demi.

During a radio interview with AMP in Boston, Demi stumbled when asked about her relationship with Miley, but ultimately said the two of them have NOTHING in common.

It's a big statement. The 2 have been friends since they were young, but have been rumored to be on the outs for a while ... especially after Demi became sober. Now Demi has made it pretty clear.

Cue the wrecking ball.
