His court cases were covered in Rolling Stone magazine and Newsweek, mainly due to the status and position of Samuels’ father. The judge gave Samuels the option to undergo incarceration for his crimes or enroll himself into a substance abuse treatment facility, in which he chose the latter. 26 years sober, Samuels provides therapy to other addicts and alcoholics.
Samuels has been labeled throughout the media as the expert in alcohol and drug addiction treatment. Samuels was called to testify before the California Senate Public Safety Commission which resulted in legislation prohibiting the purchase of the hallucinogenic drug known as Salvia to minors.
