Drew Barrymore Reflects on Rehab Experience

Drew Barrymore, the actress from E.T., shared that she went to rehab when she was 13.

She was in a facility for a year and a half.

She described it as "hard as hell", but also acknowledged its positive impact.

Her early life in Hollywood led her down a self-destructive path, starting with alcohol at age 9, marijuana at 10, and cocaine at 12.

She made this revelation while talking to Mae Martin, whose show Wayward is about similar experiences.

Drew feels protective of young people facing similar issues.

Despite difficulties, the experience was a turning point.
