Steven Adler is entering VH1's "Sober House" to get rid of the hard-partying rock and roll ways that have plagued his entire career. Steven Adler made the first step to recovery on the second season of VH1's "Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew."

Steven Adler is the former drummer of the rock band Guns 'N Roses, drumming on the hit records "Appetite For Destruction", "Use Your Illusion I" and "Use Your Illusion II." After being fired from the band in 1991, Steven Adler formed his own group, Adler's Appetite, in 2003.

• When Steven Adler was born, his mother immediately gave him up to his grandparents. Then at age two, she took him back, only to throw him back out at the age of 11 (once again his grandparents took him in). Steven Adler has a lot of anger and resentment towards his mother that he's trying to cope with.

• When Steven Adler was 10, he met Slash. They grew up together, dreaming of being in a rock band.

• Steven Adler and Slash put out a newspaper ad looking for a bassist in which Duff McKagen responded. Later they worked with Axl Rose and Izzie Strandlin, which later caused the merge of the bands Hollywood Rose and LA Guns to create, Guns N' Roses (the 'original' and most famous line up of Guns N' Roses).

• Steven Adler 's drumming appeared on the first three Guns N' Roses albums and on one song from another album, however on that song the drums were said to be heavily edited.

• An intoxicated Steven Adler broke his hand in 1987 while punching a street light after getting into a barroom brawl while on tour with the band.

• At the 1989 American Music Awards, Don Henley filled in for Adler on drums. The official release said that Steven Adler suffered from the flu but it had later been revealed that he had actually been in a drug rehabilitation facility at the time.

• Drug problems continued in 1990 as the band recorded "Civil War", a song for their album benefiting the Romanian Angel Appeal. Axl Rose said that they had to record the song 60 times due to problems with Steven Adler. Slash said the band had to edit the drum track on the song simply to be able to play along with it. Steven Adler was briefly fired from the band but was reinstated after signing a contract promising to stop using drugs.

• Steven Adler was formally fired on July 11, 1990 and replaced by Matt Sorum. The official reason for his departure, according to members of the bad was, "his heavy substance abuse that impeded his ability to work."

• In 1996, Steven Adler suffered a stroke after taking a particularly potent speedball, a cocktail of heroin and cocaine used intravenously. Steven Adler survived, but now lives with a speech impediment as a result (although it is thought that the affects have been worsened due to the continued drug use).

• Steven Adler 's lawsuit against his former Guns N' Roses band mates was settled in 1997. Steven Adler earned a back-payment check of $2,250,000 USD and was granted 15% of the royalties for everything he recorded prior to his departure.

• In 1997, Steven Adler was convicted of a domestic violence charge for attacking a woman with whom he had been living. Steven Adler was sentenced to four days in jail, three years of probation and mandatory drug counseling.

• A year later, Steven Adler pleaded no contest to attacks on two other women and was sentenced to a 150-day term in prison and a year of domestic violence counseling.

• In 2003, Steven Adler started the band Suki Jones, which would later be renamed Adler's Appetite and released an EP. The band still performs live sporadically, performing sets heavy with Guns N' Roses covers.

• Steven Adler's substance abuse issues still continue as an interview as recent as 2006, he stated that he has, at times, used $300 worth of drugs in one night.

• Steven Adler is married to Carolina who, despite all the drug abuse, has remained by his side since first coming to this country from Argentina and tracking Adler down. She appears to be a very good influence in his life. With the support of close friends and Carolina, Steven Adler is entering in to Dr. Drew's care with the hopes of finally becoming clean and sober.
