Aerosmith lead singer, Steven Tyler, has checked himself into a rehab facility, TMZ reports. The rock star has checked himself into Las Encinas Hospital drug rehabilitation clinic, seeking treatment for substance abuse.
Tyler's representative had no comment on the rehab reports. Though so, various reports mentioned Tyler is currently undergoing treatment for undisclosed substance abuse at the mentioned drug rehabilitation clinic.
Las Encinas Hospital drug rehabilitation clinic is where noted addiction medicine specialist and radio talk-show host Dr. Drew Pinsky practices. It also served as the stage for Pinsky's "Celebrity Rehab" reality series.
News of Tyler's rehab treatment comes just two years after he publicly revealed he'd been diagnosed with hepatitis C. In September 2006, the Aerosmith frontman revealed that in 2003 he had been diagnosed with hepatitis C and had undergone 11 months of treatment.
Had been keeping quiet about the disease for so long, Tyler said at the time that he wanted to share his experience and knowledge with others.
