Janice Dickinson Suffers Panic Attack on...

Janice Dickinson suffered a panic attack on Wednesday's episode of Celebrity Rehab, and Dr. Drew explained the role it played in her withdrawal from benzodiazepines.

According to a report from MSN, the panic attack wasn't the least bit unusual, given the addictions that Janice Dickinson has. In fact, he warned her more than a week ago that her withdrawal symptoms would likely worsen, given the point at which she was in her withdrawal process.

Drug addiction is no laughing matter, and some people think that just because people aren't smoking crack or shooting heroin they don't have real drug problems. Addiction to benzodiazepines is a very common addiction because people, like Janice Dickinson, start in on these pills under a doctor's orders. Once they become addicted they try everything under the sun to get even more pills, from switching doctors to lying about where their pills went when they disappear, all too soon.

Janice Dickinson is the self-proclaimed first "super model," although there are many people who refute her claim to that title.

Hopefully, Dr. Drew can help Janice Dickinson to understand that panic attacks are often a part of withdrawal and work with her to take all the steps needed to reach sobriety and stay there. Drug addiction is a powerful disease that controls the lives of addicts. Addiction specialists, like Dr. Drew, help provide addicts with the tools they need to beat their addictions.
