Actress Melanie Griffith is in Rehab at Cirque Lodge

From Diana Mimon, About.com GuideAugust 24, 2009

Follow me on:

Actress Melanie Griffith has checked into rehab for the third time. Melanie, 52, is currently receiving treatment at the well known Cirque Lodge in Utah. This facility located in a gorgeous spot has always been a celebrity favorite. Other stars who have passed through those very same doors include Kirsten Dunst, party girl Lindsay Lohan and even Eva Mendes.

"She [Melanie] is there to reinforce her commitment to stay healthy. This is part of a routine plan that was designed between her and her doctors years ago," her rep told People. What kind of 'routine' plan has a person in and out of rehab three times in a few years?

I know people who have been in rehab and they never had “routinely planned trips” so this is weird. Why would she plan it ahead of time? Sounds to me like she has a problem with drugs or maybe alcohol.

I’m sad for her and for the fact that she still can’t get her act together. She has a good career and a family who loves her and she still can’t stay away from the drugs? Celebrities are so selfish.

i’m sorry to say i dont agree with the last comment. being an addict is not a choice. it’s not as simple as “Just stop”.

Its not simple I agree. But they have all the resources and help available to them yet they choose to keep abusing drugs. They are kinda selfish.

Melanie Griffith has had addiction issues, since she
was 14yo! That’s a long time to be addicted to a
substance(s). She has everything she could want in
life, a great husband, a good career and gorgeous
children! Why would she just want to throw all of it
away, for a short-term buzz? I don’t get celebs sometimes. They’re sooo rich yet they’re health is dirt poor! If Mel doesn’t clean up her act soon, her
Antonio, supposedly greatest love ever is going to leave her. Wake-up and smell the reality!

How many more celebrities have to o.d. before people finally get the message? Let’s say it together, “Say ugh to drugs!”

I hope that her husband doesn’t leave her, especially now when she needs him the most. It should be obvious to anyone that alcohol and drugs are only symptoms of a deep emotional injury that cannot be resolved. Pray for her and her family while they go through this. I’m praying that Antonio will stay with her and help her through this; after all love is the most powerful medicine for what hurts!~ Good Luck Melanie (and forgive yourself for whatever it is sweety)
