Actor Gerard Butler Checked Into Rehab
Actor Gerard Butler is being treated for substance abuse at the Betty Ford Center.
Butler's problems were triggered by the physical demands of shooting "300" in 2006. The actor began struggling with pain management, and the problem became worse while filming "Of Men and Mavericks," when Butler was badly hurt during a surfing accident.
Butler realized he was relying too much on prescription drugs and decided to head off a full blown addiction by entering Betty Ford three weeks ago.
TMZ states that Butler also developed issues with cocaine, but the root problem appears to be the injuries and pain management.
Get well soon...
