Robin Williams Returns to Rehab

Robin Williams had reportedly returned to rehab to ‘fine tune’ his sobriety. Williams is currently staying at Hazelden facility in Minnesota, in a specialized program designed to reinforce his sobriety.

Williams has a history of being extremely open regarding his addiction to cocaine and alcohol. He initially quit both in 1986 and was sober for more than 20 years, when he had a relapse due to alcohol in 2006.

Reps for Williams indicated there was no new relapse, but Williams needed to reinforce his sobriety after working back to back projects.

The worst part I imagine was that know one knew those projects existed. That would drive anyone to drink.

To his credit, Williams appears to be doing well and his Twitter account remains active, though he’s focused more on the world cup rather than his new stint in rehab. [more…]
