Bullock, who has been drug free since 2006 when she started treatment at the center, pays for her own treatment because she’s uninsured. Millions of Americans will gain insurance coverage for drug addiction and alcoholism treatment when the national health overhaul takes effect next year, and some experts predict the change will help thousands of people get clean and sober.

In this Saturday, April 6, 2013 photo, Eric Martin poses for a photo with his fiancee, Rachel Cieslewicz, at their home in St. George, Utah. In late March 2013, Martin chased down an intruder to their home and held him at gunpoint with the 9-mm Smith & Wesson handgun that he keeps in his bedside night stand, until the police arrived. In two decades of debate over guns in the U.S., intense disagreement has long clouded seemingly straight-forward questions of how, exactly, Americans use firearms to defend themselves and how often. But listening to Martin's account of the incident shows how the uncertainty of the abstract plays out with very real consequences. (AP Photo/Julie Jacobson)

A sign recording the fame of Britain's smallest park in Burntwood, Staffordshire, England, created to commemorate the marriage of Albert Edward Prince of Wales to Princess Alexandra of Denmark in 1863 and naming the trees as Faith, Hope and Charity, seen on Friday April 12, 2013. Prince's Park was created to commemorate the marriage of Albert Edward Prince of Wales to Princess Alexandra of Denmark in 1863, before Albert Edward became Britain's King Edward VII on the death of his mother Queen Victoria. The British and the Americans are quarreling over who has the world's smallest park, the one in Portland, Ore. USA, is essentially a concrete planter about 2-feet in diameter, the other is this park about 5,000 miles away, in England where they dispute whether Portland's smallest park is a park at all.

FILE - In this April 6, 2013 file image made from AP video, Afghan National Army soldier rush to the scene moments after a car bomb exploded in front the PRT, Provincial Reconstruction Team, in Qalat, Zabul province, southern Afghanistan, Saturday, April 6, 2013. Six American troops and civilians and an Afghan doctor were killed in attacks on Saturday in southern and eastern Afghanistan as the U.S. military's top officer began a weekend visit to the country, officials said. New details are emerging about last week's bombing that killed a young U.S. diplomat and four other Americans in Afghanistan. A State Department official familiar with the investigation into the attack said Friday the group was walking from a military base to a school when the explosion hit. Initial reports that members of the group were in vehicles as well as reports they were lost are incorrect, the official said. (AP Photo via AP video, File)

In this Tuesday, Feb. 26, 2013, photo, job seekers wait in line to talk with prospective employers at the Edison Career Fair job fair in the Iselin section of Woodbridgeo Township, N.J. The number of Americans seeking U.S. unemployment benefits fell sharply last week to a seasonally adjusted 346,000, suggesting March's weak month of hiring may be a temporary slowdown. Employers added only 88,000 jobs in March after averaging 220,000 the previous four months. The drop in unemployment benefits suggests hiring could pick up again in April. (AP Photo/Mel Evans)

Nuclear sites were originally picked mainly in rural areas to lessen the impact of accidents. However, in a 2011 series, the AP reported population growth of up to 350 percent within 10 miles of nuclear sites between 1980 and 2010. About 120 million Americans - almost 40 percent - live within 50 miles of a nuclear power plant, according to the AP's analysis of Census data. (AP Photo/Julie Jacobson)
