Octomom Goes To Rehab: Nadya Suleman Seeks Treatment For Xanax Addiction

First Posted: 10/30/12 EDT Updated: 10/31/12 EDT

Octomom is in rehab.

Nadya Suleman checked in to the Chapman House Drug Rehabilitation Center in Southern California to help deal with a dependence on the prescription anti-anxiety drug Xanax, according to TMZ.

The site reports that Suleman has left the care of her 14 children to three nannies and two friends.

"Ms. Suleman has been taking Xanax that was prescribed by her doctor to deal with her anxiety but she felt she needed a treatment program to help with her recovery," her representative said in a statement to ABCNews.com. "She will be in treatment for 28 days or more if needed."

The news comes weeks after Suleman avoided being charged for child neglect. The allegations were made by a woman who had become obsessed with Octomom's kids, according to Suleman's manager, Gina Rodriguez.

There was a guy a bit ago, too, who was grossly fat and 'called out for help' but funnily he called for 'The Biggest Loser, Dr Phil, anyone" and he got a little publicity and he said "I'm preparing for the whirlwind my life's about to become" as if he was sure to get a reality show and some kind of fame, you could see he was considering agents and imagining fielding offers...not heard of him since. Just like Octomom. Can't plan reality.

This story is all fun and games until one of her children die of neglect, then the fake outrage will begin. Be proactive and take her kids away, this women is nuts.

"The allegations were made by a woman who had become obsessed with Octomom's kids, according to Suleman's manager, Gina Rodriguez." She has a manager?

Get a life. You would need xanax too if you had 14 kids, no husband, aging parents and a bunch of stalkers on your back!

She didn't have to have 14 kids and no husband, it was her choice.

Who do you think is footing the bill for that freeloader's rehab? The taxpayer of course!
