Dr. Phil Talks to Ted Williams about Entering Rehab

In an exclusive interview, Ted Williams sits down with Dr. Phil and comes clean about his addiction. Dr. Phil implores the former homeless man to seek treatment. Will he accept this chance to turn his life around? Dr. Phil offers to send Ted to a rehab facility in Texas, saying "You need to go to rehab! Do not pass 'GO', do not collect $200!"

[@AnimatedBlast]

I love this sweet man. I’m so happy he’s found himself.

[@nickycoley1]

he's actually helping ted by paying him for being on the show and giving him exposure for his talent.

[@gaspareglorioso692]

I’m glad he has made it

[@betsjuso]

I think Ted williams is a wonderful, respective man! I know he got help and has been sober for a year!

[@rubentiagoQcoisa]

Somebody help Dr. Phil with that heavy breath over the microphone. G's...

[@bushidowarlord]

Dr. Phil = the face of Ted Williams' THIRD CHANCE

[@daddeo01905]

I've been clean and sober since 1994. It is possible to stop drinking and using drugs. I hope Ted Williams uses his celebrity status to show the world how hard it is to stop drinking, but at the same time shows that being clean and sober can be done.

[@zakinaab]

Dr. Phil belittled Ted Williams bad , when he told him to clean his teeth. That was an insult in a terrible way! It was disrespectful for Ted, and was unbelievable for me, that I am left to still shaking my head!

[@mittlykkepass]

good luck Ted! We have faith in you!

[@Boricua3lions1985]

I've seen that place Dr. Phil is talking about. It's beautiful as well.

[@liukang3545]

LOLw dr-piss is a fake doctor hahahah

[@nureinherz]

I respect Dr. Phil very much. What he said there was the truth, plus he gave Ted a wonderful chance, that many people would wish for and don't get. It's a privilege to get such an offer. Ted looks concerned and fearful (at least to me), and why not? I would be anxious too. It's worth to take hold on to that chance, grab that, with fear or without fear, it doesn't matter. I do hope he took the chance 💕

[@geeka77]

here comes everyone on there high horses thinking they all know whats best for Ted. Dr. Phil needs to get a life for himself,nobodys perfect and I think he will succeed in all he is gona do and with mistakes comes great wisdom.Dr.Phil needs to go home and be honest with his wife and get real !!!

[@MoonWalkingDino]

I just don't get why they have to film this. Could you imagine the pressure? Things like this need to be solved of camera. Poor guy.

[@hambone112191]

The man just need some long term treatment in order to address some serious issues that are going on in his life.Hopefully,he will seize the opportunity and get real with himself so he can put his life back together.Just wish it wasn't in the media like it is but it was the media that discovered him and gave him another chance.It's not Dr.Phil's show that on trial.Ted is in a live or die moment.Take advantage of the offer and thank God for it.

[@theartofplumbing]

Ted's a smart guy smarter then most life has made a humble man out of him his been around he know what's good for himself, All he need now is every one to understand and help in any way we can, Wish you the best of luck Ted and I wish these people would stop exploiting the man and let him do what he was born to do. A person could be up under so much pressure that it makes it easy for one to go back to there comfort zone where ever that may be. Every ones talking to the man like his a child.

[@imwithh]

He should try the PROMETA method.

[@sergevtmx]

My father was like that, he was telling us all the time that he was gonna stop drinking for ten years, Thanks God he did stop and he has been cleaned for more than twenty years. My father went to rehab so I think this guy should do that. He lies because he is sick but he can do it , please William do not give up man.

[@kennyplay2301]

yea, Dr Phil has helped so many people...

[@TheMikesyd]

DR PHIL IS THE MAN !!! ofcourse he still drinks but being homeless doesnt buy you much... ofcourse he went hard wouldnt you if you went from the gutters to fame and all you can drink and eat !!!! off fucking course but now with dr phil to the rescue his going to do well.

[@1amikolay]

All addicts are good liars thats how they get that way. I commend the guy for atleast admittind there is an unresolved problem. Now maybe he can get the help he truely needs. You know some addicts that aren't done yet would still be in denial. I'm glad he was put on the spot, now it's up to him. Phil better call Drew

[@bjoybeads]

@TheGoodSharer - He's obviously NOT a functioning addict, he's homeless with health problems that could kill him. Now he has offers but cannot handle them without recovery. "Welcome Ted ! to the community of 12-Step Recovery! " I only hope my family will do the same.

[@maggso0]

How about... we get this dude out of the media and let him live his new life with his new jobs? Jesus.

[@jennifersenn]

@BrentAltonNally I heard Ted call several people "sir" over the past days; he also said "yes m'am" to his mother. He already explained why he's so polite; he said it's from his military background (3 years in the army) when he was young.

[@Metalstr8jacket]

Damn Phil, Help me out then.

[@ejflesher]

He needs to go to a place to center himself. Even if he is not an alcoholic he should go to place to let all of this sit in, to learn how to handle all the success, to give him skills to better management his relationships. I hope him all the best and I think that is in an intensive treatment program. Good luck Ted. I am pulling for you and know that the world will be rooting for you when you get to doing your thing. Take this time for you please.

[@rsohlich1]

@343marcus I am very glad to hear someone young say something wise like that. I'm not that old (26) but I find it refreshing to hear a young man say something like that. Yes, addiction is very hard and many people don't understand how hard. Thanks for proving to me there are still good people out there. :)

[@homiefilms]

where can i watch the full interview of him and dr phil????? someone please reply!!!!!

[@robbopaloobop]

Dr. Phil: "How are you feeling right now in the moment?" Ted: "Like I wish a large safe would come down through the ceiling right now and take you down to the basement with it." (thank you, Ted, for expressing the thoughts and prayers of every American who's ever watched Dr. Phil....)

[@SuperPeace2009]

I'm sure that DP wants only the best for him but come on. put him somewhere on an island to rehab while he gets all the attention on this moment and enjoying his second chance. Let him enjoy his moment after what he has going through. Is it possible to do both, have a dream job and to rehab? If we don't have life experiences as Ted had, we can't really know how to react if this happening to us too.

[@j.santosjotinha3594]

Uma voz explendidamente linda

[@Erikz04]

I think, and hope, that whatever happens to Ted, if he is clean, America will stand behind him and support him because he is trying to turn his life around.

[@bjoybeads]

Don't worry about it - Ted has a skill and and gift and will be in demand when he gets out of rehab. Without rehab he doesn't have a prayer of handling his fame & money. His recovery has to come first - Anybody who has experience with family or friends who are addicts know this to be true.

[@bjoybeads]

@CreamedCheesed - Do you mean "veiwers"? I am glad that I get to see the progress of someone who is getting a second chance & entering the 12-Step Recovery community.

[@livinsloher]

You guys have problems dr phil is super cool

[@LoganCharlesII]

"You've already been detained and you were released. Whew, you dodged that bullet."

[@o0GermanGuy0o]

wtf is that sound by 1:40? xD

[@MrRedsi]

What title does Dr. Phil have?

[@Spongebobnopantzz]

@HandbagMafia Wonderfull words

[@BrentNally]

Rasmussen, like others who have responded it appears that my comment has been misinterpreted from its intentions. I was simply pointing out how this nice person has been damaged his whole life by drug addiction and a sick, selfish, authoritarian society wich has made him into who he sadly is today: A nice guy who continues to try his hardest to succeed in this nonsensical society. My comment on "yes sir" really had nothing to do with Dr. Phil.

[@CreamedCheesed]

@bjoybeads no, I didn't. I meant 'veiws' - as in viewing figures.

[@toucansam3]

So who is the one with issues in this discussion?

[@bryanac625]

@nuahsx That's because for me it's about faith, not reason. Reason is great, and it helps to understand much of what we go through. But I have faith that God exists, He is real, and I choose to have a personal relationship with Him. If you don't, that is absolutely, perfectly fine.

[@RandomUsername010]

Last week Ted was famous, this week he is forgotten. On to the next ratings grabber.

[@BrentNally]

Jennifer, my question was sarcastic and rhetorical but thanks anyways for answering the obvious. It is very evident that society has damaged Ted and many others by years of military training coupled with his addictions causing him to be in unfortunate situations and always being forced into subservient situations.

[@ModPCLM]

whats with 1:40 lol

[@ofrii95]

ok why are they having this conversation on tv? how is it going to help him?

[@thegodhoward8037]

Hentai is art

[@andrewafs16]

dont pee on my leg and try to tell me its raining

[@zakinaab]

May God protect Ted Williams from these self serving Vultures?

[@korayerol66]

I totally agree! He simply wants to show off and for that reason even though he is helping him I still think he is bit of a pr**k.

[@iiSaTcO619ii]

@valona4u Dr. Phil only got involved because Ted has gone back to his old ways ( drinking and drugs ) and he wants to held him before he is either killed or put back on the streets. When hes done with rehab he can hopefully get a job and live life like you should

[@lightning452]

@khunopie hahaha

[@LoganCharlesII]

Look at Ted's expression at 4:09 and you can see that rehab was the last place this guy felt like going.

[@computerman1000]

I really don't think this is fair. Ever since Ted was given all of this fame people (mainly publicly known individuals) have been treating him as though he is a rag-doll. Now, I KNOW all of these people want the best for him, they do not want him to fall in his past mistakes for a second time, but I mean come on! This guys rights and morals are being taken away! Everyone should have the right to go out and get a drink and as long as they do not abuse that privileged it is completely fine!

[@chinitony1]

Compensacion de trabajo

[@MisterTownsend]

@NoNiceNamesLeft But he wont be hopefully after he get clean.

[@saintnathaniel]

No there's a hell. No cop outs here

[@MissysDomain]

Anyone else hear Dr. Phil breathing into his mic during the whole interview? geezzzz....

[@salemkid1979]

he's not even a certified doctor, he got his doctorate from upstairs Hollywood medical college

[@343marcus]

Ted is a man who fucked up and got behind in his life i can relate sort of to my homework in school i and so far behind i cant catch up. And my friends dad is an alcoholic and it really hard to stop and dr phill is an asshole but thats what makes people see what they gotta do to change there life

[@ReeseWitherknife]

@icedbannanas Yes, because that way he would have the money to give all these people treatment. Do you think flying people all over the country is cheap? He educates people through TV, and gives people real long term treatment off-camera. Because of TV, it is free to the ones who get help.

[@UhhhJaaa]

What is Dr. Phil doing wrong? Ted is still drinking, abusive and who know what else he could have lied about.Ted should get a second chance, but he reallly is goig to need help. He's going through a lot of problems on the inside with all these changes. He hasn't adapted to all of this yet. I don't know how you guys don't see it.

[@migso]

proper rehab, is....having some one.... to binge with, and to tell you to back up most of the times. those are good friends. friends in america nowadays arents suppose to do shit, but true rehab is, a friendship... that can integrate drugs, alcohol, nicotine... with out losing control, with integrating nature, culture, life comdey, grace. friendship, its a hard thing to come down to sometimes.

[@sergevtmx]

@nuahsx I totally agreed with you. that is an expression that I used without thinking. Let´s screw religion. I used to be a religious man but I stopped because God always needs money.

[@rsoxfan123]

@ZzyynnNN because hes already giving into temptation, and now hes facing a whole new world, before it was just him on the streets with no money, no he has the money, people are going to purpesoly try to mess him up, so rehab will do nothing more than help him.

[@octobermema]

god in the name of Jesus, bless him.

[@stevo292]

why did he do this?

[@iLuvMaplestoryX3]

@mydancehalldrug Have you met him? Have you watched all of this shows? if this video is the only one you have watched, you should get to know first before you use that kind of language.

[@chrisbeastros75]

what the heck is this...ted is living a hard life let him fix it alone with his family ..i know from heart ted doesn't wnt this offer he doesnt someone telling him what to do! he's been in the street for yearsssss ..ted doesnt need to go to rehab hes perfect the way he his..Dr.phil is not the right person to talk to ..he can give some good advice but not go into peoples personals lives

[@octobermema]

@kueef i pray 4 u 2.

[@silikon2]

@john2byld Yep. Dr Phil: "I don't want anything from you." Yeah right, he's getting it from this interview.

[@Mateosfilms]

Ted-- I hope to see you on Dr Drew's Celebrity Rehab-- Maybe you could Bone Heidi Fiess ;-)

[@Sn4pDr4gon]

@huskerdu1661 It's a fundamentally much more serious situation than your "StrawMan" argument would suggest. Resistance to the idea of "Sensationalizing" actual psychological help is both healthy and productive for society in general. Placing a sensationalized version of psychiatry on television that harbors false attitudes about psychiatry is not only a mockery of the profession and it's tenants that make it effective...it is an outright disingenuous advance towards patients themselves.

[@saintnathaniel]

@tanzalone1 but you know what, that's your choice, you can believe what you want to believe. I know where I stand

[@jieunkim778]

Why are ppl bashing dr Phil.....he's actually concerned about Ted. He's no gonna use a all sweet and polite language towards Ted cuz that's not gonna help him. He has to be straight and tell him what Ted needs to do. And that's what gonna help Ted.

[@nuahsx]

@sergevtmx thank god? how about thank himself? because of HIMSELF he has been clean for 20 years not some fictional being. I hate how everyone says "thank god" when something good happens. if i saved your life after you were in a coma for 5 years the first thing you would probably say is "thank god," and if you didnt say that, you would be thinking it. screw religion. have faith in yourself. you will be less disappointed in the end.

[@CaptEm1]

@blkpanther08 I've seen the Dr. Phil show enough to say with confidence that he's like that with everybody. If there's someone he thinks is messing up their life he will tell it straight to their face. Sometimes he may come across as arrogant and authoritarian, but that's just how he is. It has nothing to do with race at all.

[@eslubin]

This person can't distinguish belief from truth in peculiar components of his psyche that keep him in a permanent cycle of deterioration-rehabilition-deterioration

[@girlsaloudstyle]

what about ted now is back on drink/drugs is he back on the streets?? plz tell me... i hope he isint ;? x

[@bryanac625]

@nuahsx No, I think I'm going to keep thanking God.

[@guallivera]

Worse thing this family could have done was get on live tv on this stupid show and allow dr phil to exploit them their problems and their pain!!! phil sits up there like he's god on the judgment seat... like Ted owes him somthing. Hear they are amplifying these peoples problems on film for the world to veiw as entertainment even instigating the friction between this family.

[@guallivera]

@darkheartskill as we all did n as you should... what do you expect.. Im not condoning his lies but Ted doesnt owe you me or Phil anything. He's dealing with demons that we probably couldnt face, so get off the man struggling and continue to wish he makes it.. dayum! Somtimes we lie even to ourselves because its to painful to face the painful truth and the demons that stand before us to destroy us.

[@icedbannanas]

If Dr Phil really cared, he wouldn't be doing this on TV. He would be doing this in private, away from the cameras, away from the audiences.

[@lourak613]

Don't agree! This is an inspiration for thousands of people in Ted's situation.

[@rutendoshava2082]

I'm sure dr phil does talk to people off camera, but this camera time is motivational.

[@deby7024]

Please don't say that about people. Sometimes you want to talk but think first there are soo many reasons why this is good. If Dr phil wasn't on tv would he be able to provide this for this man and sooo many other people. Please from my heart don t forget to put on someone's shoes.. I hope you read this.. Love from here ❤

[@Turkey_Fart]

@ZzyynnNN Because once he got famous, he started drinking again.

[@somehowjinxed]

@icedbannanas so true

[@AntiMasonic93]

Ted Williams has got to be Obama in disguise. The mannerisms between Williams and Obama are striking! I seriously think Williams and Obama are one in the same.

[@JoeyTurVic]

@icedbannanas why?

[@saintnathaniel]

@tanzalone1 I know what it is, in fact that's where I got it. But to ignore that logic is just stupid. But in any case, my faith in God will be rewarded, and your lack of faith will not be.

[@Sn4pDr4gon]

@huskerdu1661 ...and I must ask you...what part of the massive media coverage on Ted Williams is letting him quote "fly under the radar"? If you bother to take the time to understand the situation...you will note in nearly every single "interview" that Ted has done...he sites the help that was afforded him from the beginning. Your comment could clearly be summed up as follows "If it wasn't for Dr. Phil, Ted Williams would be homeless" discounting his numerous offers for help and employment.

[@octobermema]

God is God no matter how you spell it . no one carrys the Name who is greater.

[@aguy70]

god dammit i forgot there was that other guy named ted williams, i was expecting the baseball player ted williams

[@shot62gunlop]

What happen to him going to church speak to a pastor Ted keep this privAte

[@LS-Moto]

@BrentAltonNally I just hate how he gets into someone elses personal business. Why would he care about Teds past? its done, its over, Ted has a new life now. Its like bringing up hitler to the Germans. Its all past and history and unrelevant. Dr. Phil just searches for the issues in every person.

[@eavesDropSound]

Look at Doc Phil trying to get some views again since being kicked off the 9 pm network. Interesting. Is this really for Ted of for him?

[@nawlinz9]

@KoRnL0VeR you read my mind

[@naireland]

is phil still around? he always talks fown to people as if he has any kind of authority to judge people. someone needs to evaluate Phil, i cant even imagine how pissed he would be without being in control

[@bryanac625]

@nuahsx I choose to write God with capital G. It doesn't matter if you agree with that or not. If an atheist saved my life, I would thank him/her AND God. Why would I have to choose one? I believe in salvation by faith through Jesus Christ. I believe salvation brings eternal life. So if an atheist killed me (just because I thanked God? And this person is a doctor?), I believe I go to be with the Lord. I might lose my life here on earth, but I gain eternal life in Christ.

[@ShangoJamal]

@valona4u I agree!
