Tiger Woods Talks Prescription Pill Abuse: I"m Getting Help!
Last month, Tiger Woods was arrested on DUI charges after police in Jupiter, Florida spotted the golf legend driving erratically.
As it turned out, Woods was not drunk but under the influence of a potent cocktail of prescription pills.
The 41-year-old recently underwent back surgery and sources say he suffered a bad reaction to painkillers that were prescribed to him by his doctors.
But the fact that Woods didn’t consciously enter an impaired state before getting behind the wheel doesn’t make his actions any less dangerous.
Police departments across the country report that they’ve seen a sharp rise in cases of “drugged driving” in recent years, and the risk of death or serious injury is just as real as when a driver is drunk.
To his credit, Woods seems to understand the severity of the situation.
While he maintains that the drugs he was on were solely for pain management, Woods apparently recognizes that he needs professional help in order to free himself from the grips of substance abuse.
In a statement issued this morning, Woods revealed that he is seeking treatment as a result of his arrest over Memorial Day weekend:
“I’m currently receiving professional help to manage my medications and the ways that I deal with back pain and a sleep disorder,” Woods said.
“I want to thank everyone for the amazing outpouring of support and understanding especially the fans and players on tour.”
According to TMZ, Woods has been spotted out and about in Florida with his children, so it appears he did not enter an in-patient facility.
Critics are skeptical, and some have expressed the belief that Woods public revelation that he’s seeking treatment is simply part of an effort to secure a lighter sentence at his upcoming DUI trial.
Some have called on the golf icon to seek more aggressive treatment, both for the sake of his health and as a message to his younger fans that prescription pill addiction is as serious as any other form of substance abuse.
It does not appear that Woods will be heeding that advice.
Woods will likely be able to avoid harsh punishments from both the court and the PGA, but it remains to be seen if his career and reputation will be able to survive yet another scandal.
We’ll have further updates on this developing story as more information becomes available.

Lisa Marie Presley: Prescription Pill Addiction Forces Singer Into Rehab
Lisa Marie Presley has been honest about her demons in the past, and this time she’s making sure those demons stay away.
Elvis Presley’s daughter has checked into The Hills Rehabilitation Center, a luxurious retreat in the Hollywood Hills which overlooks Los Angeles.
A month’s stay at the treatment center costs $ 400,000.
Back in 2003, Presley told Paper Magazine that she abused alcohol and drugs as a teenager, but recovered with the help of Scientology.
“[I used] cocaine, sedatives, pot and drinking — all at the same time. I just couldn’t be sober,” Presley revealed.
“I don’t know how I lived through it.”
A source close to the singer told Us Weekly that she is “doing OK, but needed to get this under control.”
Last month, Presley filed for divorce from Michael Lockwood, her husband of ten years. She filed for full custody of the couple’s twins, Finley and Harper, and asked that Lockwood have “monitored” visitation, according to TMZ.
The National Enquirer broke the story a few days ago, alleging that their destructive marriage caused Presley to fall off the wagon.
Theirs “was not a healthy one and a lot of people thought she was self-medicating to deal with her pain,” a friend told the tabloid.
“Michael was verbally insulting and, pals say, would fat-shame and belittle Lisa Marie. They had knock-down, drag-out fights that left Lisa Marie feeling as if he’d pummeled her.”
Lockwood, who has worked with Carly Simon and Fiona Apple, was accused by Presley’s lawyer of ripping her off during their marriage.
“He apparently was in charge of her assets throughout the marriage and didn’t do what he should have done on a fiduciary basis,” Litz told People Magazine.
“The couple did not have a prenuptial agreement, though at one point they did draw up a postnuptial agreement.”
“He took advantage of her.”

Prince: Prescription Painkillers Found Nearby At Time of Death
There are several theories floating around as to how Prince died on April 21st.
The legendary singer was found unresponsive inside his Paisley Park, MI elevator, and an autopsy report confirms that no foul play had been involved.
However, a toxicology report will reveal the cause of death, but the results could take weeks.
There is a key new development in determining the cause of Prince’s death, according to NBC.
The county sheriff has enlisted the Drug Enforcement administration to help with the investigation, having discovered prescription painkillers in Prince’s possession when he died.
There is no official word on what part the meds played in Prince’s death, if at all.
The DEA will help figure out how Prince obtained the medication, and for what purpose(s).
People Magazine confirmed with sources that Prince “had a history” of using Percocet, a painkiller that combines acetaminophen and oxycodone.
The result is “severe euphoria” felt by the patient, which can be so addictive it can lead to overdose, and even death.
Other sources claim that Prince had been suffering from a mystery illness.
“The people close to him were very concerned for his health and indicated he’d been undergoing treatments which made his immune system weak,” a source told People last week.
Less than a week before his death, the singer’s plane made an emergency landing in Illinois, where he was given a “save shot” at a local hospital.
It’s a puzzling story without any explanation from Prince’s people.
Was he ill? How did his health deteriorate to the point where his plane had to land so that he could be “saved” at the nearest hospital?
Fans will have to wait for the toxicology report to find out how the seemingly healthy 57-year-old died so suddenly.
