Andy Dick Leaves Rehab After Crack Overdose

Comedian Andy Dick has checked out of a rehabilitation facility in Palm Springs, California, after nearly two months of treatment following a near-fatal overdose on crack cocaine in Hollywood last December. The 60-year-old actor, known for roles in shows like NewsRadio and Less Than Perfect, described the incident as a turning point in his long battle with addiction, crediting friends with reviving him and helping him seek help.

The overdose occurred on December 9, 2025, while Dick was being filmed on the streets of Hollywood by documentarians Adam Carbone and Alexander "Billy John Oh" Bailey, who have become close friends. According to Dick, he slipped away from the group to use drugs, encountering a man smoking crack cocaine and taking a hit himself. He collapsed unresponsive on the cement stairs of a building, his glasses falling to the ground nearby. A video of the scene, captured by Bailey, quickly spread online, showing the comedian slumped over and appearing lifeless.

Bailey administered Narcan, a nasal spray designed to reverse opioid overdoses, leaning Dick back to deliver the doses. Dick said it took four applications before he regained consciousness. Witnesses...
