Jeff Conaway Leaves Celebrity Rehab, Abuses Drugs Within Minutes

With just a few days before graduation, Jeff Conaway was thrown out of rehab on last night's episode for getting violent with his girlfriend in the facility. He immediately went home and popped some Oxy.

Jeff didn't even get out of his pajama pants before leaving treatment. He just picked up his cane and took off with his girlfriend, Vicky, who was also a patient at the Pasadena Recovery Center. He whined continually throughout this season of Celebrity Rehab that he wasn't being treated properly. (His version of being treated properly is being allowed to take pain meds and muscle relaxers.) The first thing he did when he walked into his house was rifle through a plastic drawer, going through bottles and bottles of pills. After he took a very strong painkiller, he held up two fistfuls of pills and shook them menacingly at the camera. It's safe (and sad) to say that he's effectively off the wagon.

Celebrity Rehab: Two Grown Men + Calling Shotgun = Screaming Match

It's already been established on Celebrity Rehab (and on the red carpet) that Gary Busey is kinda insane in the membrane, stemming from a motorcycle accident in the early '80s. Jeff Conaway, on the other hand, is sort of a big baby. (He called 911 because the rehab facility would not give him painkillers.) Anyway, the two ended up having a huge, dramatic fight, throwing f-bombs all over the place…over who got shotgun in the rehab van on the way back from art therapy. As you can see in the clip above, the two end up making up and have a little love fest, in which Gary claims he loves Jeff "5,000 miles past Heaven," whatever that means.

Celebrity Rehab: Jeff Conaway Literally Wants To Kill His Girlfriend

Tracie — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 17:00:00 EST

Jeff Conaway has returned for a second season of Celebrity Rehab and he's in even more physical pain than before because his girlfriend kicked him in the back (where he's had surgery) "five times." Vikki is at the Pasadena Recovery Center as well, but being treated in a wing with other non-celebrity patients. After Jeff confided in Dr. Drew that he wanted to kill Vikki, Dr. Drew decided that it was important to mediate a discussion between the couple. I know that they're both addicts and this is not supposed to be funny, but the fact that these two love their camera time so much, and have admitted to playing up the drama, makes the reality of the situation a little more comical. For example, Vikki claims that she kicked Jeff in self-defense because he was calling 911, because whenever he does that, she gets thrown in jail. Clip above.

Celebrity Rehab: Jeff Conaway's Girlfriend Just Doesn't Get The No-Booze Business

Vicki, Jeff Conaway's enabling girlfriend, has been one hell of a roadblock on Jeff's road to recovery. During his stay in rehab she has been caught bringing hardcore prescription painkillers into the facility (which were intercepted by employees), as well as booze disguised in a soft drink bottle. On last night's episode of Celebrity Rehab, friends and family were encouraged to take part in therapy sessions with Dr. Drew, and it seems like after all these weeks and repeated chiding by a number of professionals, Vicki still doesn't get it that she needs to remove all drugs and alcohol from Jeff's home. She said that she needs the alcohol there to help with her "migraines." Ugh. Clip above.
