Pat Kennedy the "Expert" To Speak on Addiction

Representative Patrick Kennedy (Democrat-R.I.) returned home this weekend after spending nearly a month at the Mayo Clinic. Kennedy is scheduled to speak to a forum at Brown University today about being a drug addict. Wonder if he will share with the group how you can beat jail time and keep your job by running swiftly off to rehab?

WASHINGTON (AP) — Rep. Patrick Kennedy has ended nearly a month of treatment for addiction to prescription pain drugs and had an appearance scheduled Monday in his home state of Rhode Island.
Kennedy left the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. on Friday.

The six-term congressman had checked into the Mayo Clinic on May 5, one day after a middle-of-the-night car crash near the Capitol that he said he could not remember. He also had been treated at the clinic over the Christmas holidays.

The accident has raised questions about whether Kennedy, 38, was drinking and had received special treatment by police, who did not conduct field sobriety tests.
Capitol Police cited him for three traffic violations and said he appeared to be intoxicated. Police said Friday they were still investigating the incident.

Kennedy has been a passionate advocate for improved mental health care coverage, speaking publicly about his own battles with depression, alcoholism and substance abuse. [read more]
