Amber Smith from "Sex Rehab with Dr. Drew" is one of the patients undergoing therapy for sex addiction on the VH1 documentary series.

Amber Smith appeared on Season 2 of "Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew," where she went public with her 16-year addiction to opiate painkillers. On the show, Amber underwent a painful withdrawal from drugs. She also appeared on the "Rehab" spin-off "Sober House."

After being discovered at age 15, Amber Smith established herself as a supermodel of the nineties. Throughout her career, Smith modeled designs by Chanel and Jean Paul Gaultier on the runway and appeared in the pages of "Sports Illustrated," "Maxim," French "Vogue" and "Playboy." On the big screen Smith has made appearances in the award-winning films "L.A. Confidential" and "American Beauty," as well as appearing in "The Mirror Has Two Faces." "Def Jam's How To Be A Player," "Tomcats" and "How High."

• Amber followed in her mother's footsteps, starting her modeling career at age 15.

• Amber's father, a successful football player in the NFL, was an addict and died from his disease.

• Amber appeared in back-to-back Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issues; she was chosen as Esquire's first Vargas Girl of the 1990's and she launched the very first Wonderbra campaign.

• Amber received recognition with high-fashion covers in Vogue, Elle, Cosmopolitan and Marie Claire, among many others. The strong editorial coverage led to advertising for L'Oreal, Buffalo Jeans, Camel, Kahlua, Volkswagen, and Panama Jack to name a few.



• She walked the runway for many famous fashion designers such as Chanel and Jean Paul Gaultier.

• Amber returned to America with a full portfolio shot by the world's top photographers such as Ellen Von Unwerth, Walter Chin, Arthur Elgort, and Marco Glaviano.

• Amber was the cover girl for the March 1995 issue of Playboy and has appeared on the cover of over 300 magazines.

• Named one of the top 50 sexiest women in the world by Maxim Magazine.

• Amber was cast in her first role in Paul Mazursky's "Faithful" on a referral from Robert DeNiro that stemmed from her "Casino" auditions. She then was cast in both "The Funeral" and "The Mirror Has Two Faces." Later she played the part of Susan Lefferts, a Rita Hayworth look alike, in "L.A. Confidential." Her resemblance to Rita Hayworth came into play yet again when she landed a role in HBO's "The Rat Pack." She also starred in the Oscar darling "American Beauty."

• Heavily addicted to prescription drugs through out the majority of her career. She hasn't been off drugs at all for 16 years.

• Amber isolated and tried to hide her addiction because "in the 90's it wasn't cool to be a drug addicted model."

• Has never been treated in a rehab facility before "Celebrity Rehab" despite having two drug overdoses.

• Because Amber's mother is a drug addict as well, she never attempted to get Amber help or treatment

• Amber's drug addiction has been the cause of her career and life bottoming out. She lost everything and was willing to do almost anything to buy drugs.
