First to arrive is actor Gary Busey, then Amber Smith, Rodney King, Tawny Kitaen, Guns 'n' Roses drummer Steven Adler, Sean Stewart, Nikki McKibbin and Jeff Conaway. Gary Busey informs Dr. Drew that he is "not here seeking treatment," but is instead expecting to act as an addition to Drew and his staff.
