| Shelly
Sprague, perhaps best known as the no-nonsense resident
technician on VH1's Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew,
or occasional chemical dependency expert for KCBS
News, is herself a recovering addict. Her life in
sobriety is defined by her dedication to helping
others avoid or escape the same plight. On and off-screen,
she wins the respect of her patients by her sincerity
and candor. Shelly has been there and done that:
from mental health patient to mental health worker,
plus everything in between; including, dancer, hairdresser,
singer, teacher's aide, wife and mother.
Currently opening a private outpatient program,
her non-televised resume also includes Program
Manager of Aurora Las Encinas Hospital's chemical
dependency residential treatment unit, followed
by a brief stint as Assistant Program Manager
at Pasadena Recovery Center. Shelly arrived by
a long, twisting path from her first job in treatment
back in the mid-nineties. After just two years
in the field, Shelly left her position as counselor
at Spencer Recovery Center– where she herself
had been for treatment years earlier–to
return to school and start a family with her husband.
As a new mother, Shelly soon went back to work–as
a receptionist, personal assistant, stylist, hairdresser,
even nightclub cashier, volunteering to help open
the Los Feliz Charter School for the Arts, all
while taking college courses online. Before joining
the staff at Las Encinas, her last job was at
an elementary school, working primarily with five
to seven-year- olds with behavioral issues–a
perfect segue into Celebrity Rehab.
Shelly had decided early in her own recovery
that she wanted to work in the chemical dependency
field, inspired partly by her respect for Dr.
Drew, as a longtime fan of radio's Loveline. Though
she's since moved on from her mentor's side, Shelly's
still studying, still learning, still dedicated
to giving her patients a fighting chance against
their disease.
She and Bob Forrest formed Hollywood Recovery
Services in May 1, 2010 with the blessing of Dr.
Drew.

We believe trust and attachment are the essentials
to beginning a journey in recovery. We are dedicated
to provide an honest, authentic, and genuine treatment
environment that gives patients a unique opportunity

Vision
We see addiction as a primary social epidemic
destroying the lives of millions across the nation.
Our vision is to provide a bridge from the perils
and pain of active addiction to a new, sober,
productive life. We help our patients meet this
challenge by supporting them through the difficulties
of early recovery. In our 12 years of experience
working on the frontlines of addiction, we find
most patients suffering from addictive disorder,
relapse in the first 90 days of recovery. We see
an important need to provide a program specifically
designed to support patients through this initial
phase of treatment and recovery.
