Nicholas Brendon has taken a break from his busy getting-arrested-at-comic-conventions schedule to visit a rehab center. Us Weekly reports that he is seeking help for depression, alcoholism, and substance abuse problems. His rep shared the following message on Brendon's Facebook page:
"He's taking the steps necessary to better his health and give himself, and his fans, the gift of a healthy lifestyle. He has been aware of his problems for some time -- and with each new challenge, he gained a greater understanding of what needed to be done to overcome these obstacles and move forward with his life. Since his arrest last October, Nicky had tried several treatment methods -- from therapy, to outpatient services -- only to realize recently that he needed to take an extended break and treat the underlying issues of his illnesses."
His rep also stated that he would be retuning to the convention circuit after completing treatment. Mazel to Nicholas for seeking treatment, but maybe hold off on going to any more conventions, ever. That seems to be where he gets into trouble.
