Bob Forrest, perhaps best known as the straight-talking, straight-shooting counselor on VH1’s Celebrity Rehab with Dr Drew, is the spokesperson for DNA4Addiction.
Bob has had a long journey in his struggle with addiction, visiting rehab facilities 24 times before finding sobriety in 1996. Since then, Bob has become one of the foremost chemical dependency counselors working in the southern California region, and his treatment philosophy and counseling services serve a client base that extends throughout the US and the globe. For 5 years, Bob was the clinical director and on the board of the Musicians Assistance Program/MusiCares, and he spent 8 years counseling at Las Encinas Hospital in Pasadena.
With the DNA4Addiction testing kit, a simple swab can help individuals find out if they have a genetic predisposition for opioid dependence and substance use. Armed with their results, individuals can now make decisions with this key info in mind, whether it’s deciding to avoid certain medications or being extra cautious about recreational drug and alcohol use.
Prior to his life in recovery, Bob Forrest was best known as a musician, fronting the critically acclaimed Los Angeles bands: Thelonious Monster and The Bicycle Thief. Bob was heavily acclaimed for his gifts as a songwriter, and frontman.
“Bob And The Monster”, a documentary about Bob’s life and career, premiered at SXSW in 2011 and has since seen wide and home video release. In 2013, Bob’s memoir, “Running With Monsters”, was published by Crown Books. He still performs on occasion with friends and members of his bands.
