Burt Reynolds goes into rehab? Prescription pain killers strike again!

Burt-reynolds1 Burt Reynolds, 73, has checked into a rehab clinic for treatment of addiction to prescription medication.

His manager told People:

"After a recent back surgery, Mr. Reynolds felt like he was going through hell and after a while, realized he was a prisoner of prescription pain pills," the statement said. 

"He checked himself into rehab in order to regain control of his life. Mr. Reynolds hopes his story will help others in a similar situation. He hopes they will not try to solve the problem by themselves, but realize that sometimes it is too tough to do on their own and they should seek help, as he did." 

Good luck, Burt. 

It's never too late!
