Kelly Osbourne reflected on what she experienced during her stay at the rehabilitation center.

During the performance in the show TMZ investigates Matthew Perry and the secret celebrity drug ringThe 39-year-old revealed what she experienced during her own rehab stay.

Kelly began by mentioning “Body Brokers. They sit outside AA meetings and look for weak and vulnerable people, encouraging them to relapse so they can then get them back on their feet.”

The TV personality, who herself suffered from substance abuse, said: “I swear on everything it's true and it's heartbreaking.”

Kelly elaborated on the dark side of rehabilitation centers, claiming that some rehabilitation facility staff would administer medication to recovering patients so that they would not have to leave the facility so quickly.

“The first rehab I went to was like a university where I learned how to be a better addict… I learned so many tricks and things from the other addicts there that I never would have thought of,” she said.

In addition, Kelly added, “But I've also seen people threaten to leave if they don't get what they want.”

“Whether it was Ambien to sleep or Valium for the nerves, they got it somehow… and in the end they got whatever they asked for. [to make them stay],” she concluded.
