People struggle with addiction every day.  According to The Buffalo News, more than 200 people have already died of opioid and heroin overdoses this year in Erie County alone.  But now, they don't have to struggle alone.

Mindy McCready was once on a reality show that highlighted the struggles of celebrities who dealt with addiction.  It was called 'Celebrity Rehab' and unfortunately the success rate of that show hasn't been so great.  With Mindy's death, the total number of cast members who have died after being on that show is up to five.
