SAMHSA’s National Helpline: 1-800-662-HELP (4357)
SAMHSA’s National Helpline is a free, confidential, 24/7, 365-day-a-year treatment referral and information service (in English and Spanish) for individuals and families facing mental and/or substance use disorders.
The predator returns to the Los Angeles rehab after he allegedly smoked a hard fetty.
He claimed it was a bad line but it's a mixture of cocaine, fentanyl and methamphetamine.
Dick, who was adamantly opposed to the idea of seeking help on Thursday, credited his former “Celebrity Rehab” co-star Jenny Gimenez for changing his mind.
“Jenny Gimenez is my sister who saved me with Tim [Ryan],” he said, referencing Gimenez’s husband. The couple is sober.
Gimenez and Ryan told the outlet that Dick’s enrollment is on a “full ride scholarship offer,” meaning he won’t be footing the bill for this stay thanks to their connections with the rehab.
A rep for the comedian did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
On Tuesday, the actor was spotted slumped outside on the cement stairs of a building in Hollywood after he suffered an apparent overdose on crack cocaine.
In a video published by TMZ, Dick was seen lying flat on the concrete as several bystanders surrounded him and attempted to save his life.
Some people on the scene were seen calling the police. Another bystander was then seen grabbing Narcan, a life-saving medication that quickly reverses opioid overdoses, and giving Dick the shot.
A spokesperson for the Los Angeles Fire Department told the outlet that they arrived on the scene after they responded to a call about an overdose involving a 59-year-old male. Though, he was not taken to a hospital.
Shortly after the incident, Dick confirmed he was “110 percent” fine as he revealed that the whole ordeal resulted from him smoking crack with a random man on the street.
“There was a guy that was my age on the sidewalk and I felt for him, he had kids and he was depressed and he was on the sidewalk,” Dick said.
“And then he whipped out — sorry, but crack — and I’m like, you know what? I might need a little bit of that.”
The “Newsradio” alum has struggled with drug and sex addiction over the years.
He had infamously groped Pamela Anderson, Ivanka Trump and Courtney Love. An incident where he groped a 17 year old girl and an Uber driver led to him being registered as a sexual predator.
