I'm glad he's getting help. Does anyone know what he had trouble with? That's what I'm wondering. Seems like they're being pretty vague about it. At least he's not claiming to be going to rehab for exhaustion, though. But I bet it's drugs... seems like they would say if it was alcohol.

He is an alcoholic, but in interviews I've seen him saying that he was drinking and doing "everything" as a teen, so it's probably drugs too.

He's been outspoken about being pro-awareness and pro-treatment, so maybe he intentionally didn't want his publicist to try to make a distinction. I hate it when celebrities make a point of announcing that their treatment is for prescription painkillers, or alcohol, as if that makes them better people than if they needed treatment for something else.

Addiction is addiction, but I usually am curious as to what celebs go to rehab for. It gives me insight into their background: were they given painkillers for a legit reason and things went downhill? Did they try cocaine at a party and it got out of control? There's also a lot of addiction in my own family, so I wonder what brings other people to that place.

Yeah, as someone who comes from a family of addicts, I get curious too.
Not that we always get the real answer these days though, since people like to hang their issues on legal drugs and substances. For some reason it sounds less shady to get hooked on prescribed drugs (it makes them sound more like a victim, I guess)... but if you know anything about addiction and think about it, that implies they were getting drugs through doctor shopping/manipulating a doctor/going to a shady doctor. So why does that have less of a stigma than taking things bought through the neighborhood's rich person drug dealer?
I'm phrasing that badly, but what I am saying is that addiction is addiction. It's sad that people sometimes have to dress it up a certain way so it appears more... PR friendly. That's sad/messed up/not conducive to recovery.

I'm curious too as to what he uses but for, ahem, less honourable reasons. I had no idea about his past issues and have tended to think of him as his squeaky-clean character so this surprised me a bit!

I used to be a huge fan of Cory's, which sort of petered out when Glee started sucking & he started dating Lea Michele, who I hate. He's mentioned that he was pretty much an alcoholic at 14, and has mentioned he also did weed and coke by name, but that he tried "everything" at least once. I'd guess he's back in for a combo of alcohol and coke, because that's what's popular in Hollywood.

That's good. I hope he works on his anger issues, too. He has a big temper that seem to worsen the more he drinks.

I wonder if he decided to go, or did his team? He should be promoting Old Boy nowish/really soon. Not that that matters in the grand scheme of things, he needs help, and hopefully, this will work. Good luck, Josh. And on a Dlisted snarky side-note, there's now two tributes in the arena for The Anger Games. Sean Penn is on deck with his recent outburst.
