I would imagine that losing visitation rights to your kids, as Spears did, would be a pretty strong motivator.
I don't want to comment on Britney Spears in particular, but I will tell you, what's going to motivate any one individual is going to depend a lot on a few factors. Number one, what is important to that individual? For some people, losing a driver's license is a major motivator to get into treatment. For other people losing a spouse or a job can be the major motivator. Sometimes it takes the threat of legal action to get somebody into treatment. There's always the very important factor of how much insight somebody has into their situation. Because it can take a number of life calamities for some people to realize they've got a problem.

    Psychiatry and the practices of institutionalized mental health care went unmonitored for so long. After all the stem cell research my Psych 101 professor stated that all the prescriptive dosing protocol was found to be incorrect because the hypothesis was to regrow dendritic cells (the cure for Parkinson's Disease: Christopher Reeves, Michael J. Fox). The prievious renditions of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) outlined the protocol for diagnosing and controlling disorders such as ADHD. Most of those drugs have been recalled or orphaned. The DSM-V is not due for publication until 2012 and the internet is nothing but one big GAF Score whore for Jung's Britney Project
