Matthew Perry is going back to rehab as part of his ongoing recovery. And the Friends star, who battled addictions to prescription medication and alcohol in the past, is putting his plans out there for all to hear.
"I'm making plans to go away for a month to focus on my sobriety and to continue my life in recovery," Perry, 41, said in a statement. "Please enjoy making fun of me on the World Wide Web."
Perry, who most recently appeared in Mr. Sunshine, spent time in a treatment facility in both 1997 and 2001. He became addicted to Vicodin after a jet skiing accident and later confessed to taking 20 to 30 pills a day before his initial 28-day stay at Hazelden Foundation rehabilitation center in 1997. In 2000 he was hospitalized for pancreatitis due to excessive alcohol consumption, which led to a second stint.
According to a source close to the actor, Perry's decision to return to rehab is simply precautionary. "There was no relapse," the pal says.
