Posted on Thu May 12th, 2011 8:30pm PDT By X17 Staff
Matthew Perry is headed back to a treatment facility as part of his ongoing recovery for a years-long addiction to alcohol and prescription pills.
The Friends star confirmed the news and even cracked a joke, saying:
We'd never do a thing like that Matthew!
Unfortunately the actor's ABC show, Mr. Sunshine, isn't doing so well in the ratings and could be canceled this year.
Since Perry is the show's creator/star/producer, he may have been under a lot of stress recently. We're glad to see the star take a proactive role in getting/staying well.
This isn't Perry's first trip to rehab, the star also entered recovery in 2001 and in 1997 for alcohol and prescription pill addiction..
The Friends star confirmed the news and even cracked a joke, saying:
- "I'm making plans to go away for a month to focus on my sobriety and to continue my life in recovery. Please enjoy making fun of me on the World Wide Web.â€Â
