Actor David Arquette has entered rehab over the weekend to battle alcohol addiction and depression.
Arquette and his wife, Courtney Cox, separated in October and Arquette has been fighting with these issues.
“He is in there for drinking and depression, not hard drugs. Rehab was inevitable,” the source said. “He is dealing with a broken heart. He can’t handle all the changes in his life. All his inner demons came out.”
Howard Stern has interviewed Arquette a few times since his split with his wife and the actor has admitted to heavy drinking.
Arquette said that his psychologist, whom he sees once a week, believed he was having a “nervous breakdown” (the actor later said he was joking) and confessed he’d been “drinking a lot.” “Everybody’s worried and concerned about me,” he added during the interview. “When I drink, I become a maniac.”
Arquette and Cox have a 6 year-old daughter, Coco.
It certainly isn’t easy to admit you need help and living in the public eye must make it that much more difficult. Good for David for doing what he needs to take care of himself and be a better father.
