For the second time this month, Britney Spears was rushed to the hospital by ambulance. Early Thursday morning (January 31), according to reports in the Los Angeles Times, Spears, 26, was physically removed from her home by police and put into an ambulance at around 1 a.m., then escorted to the UCLA Medical Center by a phalanx of more than a dozen motorcycle officers, two police cruisers and two police helicopters. The singer is resting at the hospital, her mother, Lynne Spears, confirmed to reporters on Thursday, according to CNN.
Spears was taken to the hospital to "get help," a Los Angeles police officer who spoke on condition of anonymity told The Associated Press.
The action came as a result of yet another call for a "5150" hold for a mental-health evaluation, which means that Spears is considered a threat to herself or those around her, authorities told the paper. The motorcycles and a Los Angeles Fire Department ambulance swept through the gates of Spears' hilltop home in Studio City, California, shortly after 1 a.m., with a police helicopter hovering overhead, and removed the singer eight minutes later. Officers inside the home reportedly radioed to commanders that "the package is on the way out."

All of us agree that when drugs are ruining your life you need to make a change. Most addicted people will agree. Britney would likely agree. However, many don’t get help. Why?
As the director of Novus Medical Detox, I would suggest that many people never make it to rehab because they have tried to stop and the withdrawal pain was too great. This is why 95% of the people that try on their own don't make it. They fear the withdrawal more than the problem.
Some people's DNA and metabolism does make them more susceptible to dependence and addiction and either way the withdrawal is painful.
We now have protocols that make it much more comfortable and once off the drugs/alcohol, then they will be thinking more clearly and have a better chance in rehab.
The decision to change their lives must be made for any rehab to work. The confidence that they can stand the pain is often required before the decision to get rehab.
While I am glad that she is seeking treatment, I think that the real problems are the prescription drugs that she is taking in addition to her other use of drugs/alcohol. She needs to get off these as well.
