Nicole Richie couldn't go cold turkey off of heroin in rehab.

Proud papa Lionel Richie will probably say all this is fine & normal. Nicole Richie revealed that when she first went to rehab at 17, she was so addicted to cocaine, pills & heroin that the staff at rehab had to wean her off slowly. Is her child going to come out of the womb smoking a doobie or what????EntertainmentWise: Nicole revealed to Marie Claire magazine: “Anyone who goes to rehab will say that they don’t remember their first week or two, because your body just goes through the shock of coming off whatever you were on.
“They didn’t want me to quit cold turkey because I could have had a seizure, so they gave me medication to come off it.”
