Keith Urban Checks Into Rehab

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Keith Urban has checked himself into a rehabilitation treatment center for alcohol abuse, less than four months after his marriage to actress Nicole Kidman.

The Grammy-winning country singer released a statement Friday that said he entered rehab Thursday night with his wife by his side. His publicist would not give the location of the rehab center.

“I deeply regret the hurt this has caused Nicole and the ones that love and support me,” Urban said in the statement.

Urban, who turns 39 on Oct. 26, has publicly acknowledged a former addiction to cocaine.

“One can never let one’s guard down on recovery, and I’m afraid that I have,” the statement read.

Urban’s new CD, “Love, Pain, & the whole crazy thing,” will be released Nov. 7 as scheduled, but he will postpone all upcoming promotional appearances.

Urban will also likely cancel a scheduled appearance on the Country Music Association awards next month, the publicist said.

Kidman and Urban, who were both raised in Australia, married on June 25 in Sydney. They then moved to Nashville, where Urban records.

Urban won a Grammy this year for best male country vocalist for “You’ll Think of Me,” and was named top male vocalist for the second year in a row by the Academy of Country Music.

A Country Weekly magazine reader poll this year named him country music’s sexiest man.

Drugs and alcohol are a huge problem that our society faces today. Many people who want to quit find themselves unable to do so on their own, so they chose to go to a drug rehab or an alcohol rehab. When someone is addicted to drugs, they have built their whole life around the substance and the culture that goes with it. All of their friends will most likely be associated with the drug in one form or another. All of the places they frequent will be associated with drugs in one form or another.

There are several different forms of treatment for drugs or alcohol. They range from very low impact outpatient sessions or meetings to very intensive long term inpatient care. The type of rehab that would best suit the individual needs is not a decision to be taken lightly. Only after careful consideration, should a final decision be made. All factors should be taken into account; this will only help to make the very best possible decision. If the person in need has made several attempts to recover and only failed, then you definitely want to check out various longer term inpatient facilities. If they are fairly new to drug or alcohol abuse and badly want to cease from drinking or using, then support meetings or outpatient care may suffice. Usually something long term and pretty intensive is necessary. Again, choosing a rehab is a lifesaving decision, make it wisely.

An individual’s needs are unique. A treatment program should be, too. There is no such thing as one-size-fits-all when it comes to addiction treatment. There should not be a standard drug rehab program, facility or center. Counselors should develop a treatment plan that is unique to each and every individual as everyone is different and needs a variety of different issues addressed and handled. These are the aspects that successfully help others achieve true long-term sobriety.

Effective drug and alcohol addiction treatment philosophy incorporates a wide variety of traditional and non-traditional methods, employing both Western and Eastern medical techniques. Utilizing the talents of some of the best practitioners and experienced counselors in the world is what makes rehabilitation and rehab successful and effective and gives individuals hope at a bright future. Allowing individuals to achieve long lasting sobriety and have a chance at a good clean and sober life is the main goal and prerogative. Successful drug rehab and alcohol rehab will change your life.
