Written by . Published: April 01 2013
Actor Cory Monteith has checked into a rehabilitation center to address substance addiction issues.
The 30 year old, who is dating his Glee co-star Lea Michele, voluntarily sought professional help to face up to his problems.
His representative tells People.com, "(Monteith) has voluntarily
admitted himself to a treatment facility for substance addiction.
He graciously asks for your respect and privacy as he takes the
necessary steps towards recovery."
Michele adds, "I love and support Cory and will stand by him
through this. I am grateful and proud he made this decision."
Monteith has been open about his drink and drug habit in the past,
revealing in 2011 that he had previously checked into rehab when he
was 19 years old.
