The Bon Jovi guitarist first entered rehab in June to treat a drinking problem that some fans reported at the time came to a head during the taping of a performance for MTV Unplugged. He received the spin dry treatment at the UCLA Medical Center but apparently the week long treatment wasn't enough. At the time his spokesperson told People.com "Richie Sambora has completed a program at the UCLA Medical Center. He is doing well and continues to receive outside support."
Apparently that "overnight" treatment requires an additional rehab stint at another facility. This time he checked into Cirque Lodge in Utah, which is the same rehab facility where Lindsay Lohan is currently receiving treatment. According to HollywoodScoop.com Richie's rep said of this new hospitalization, �Richie is continuing the on-going treatment he began in June.�
At the time of his first rehab visit Sambora told NBC's Matt Lauer "I was just drinking too much, and I needed to get my life together." Let's hope this time works out for Richie.
