Whitney Houston Enrolled in Outpatient Rehab Program

Whitney Houston is taking another step towards sobriety. The pop superstar has enrolled in an outpatient rehab program to battle her publicized struggle with drugs and alcohol.

"I can confirm that Whitney Houston is currently in an outpatient rehab program for drug and alcohol treatment," Kristen Foster, Houston's rep, told CNN. "Whitney voluntarily entered the program to support her long-standing recovery process."

According to TMZ.com, Houston checked into a California clinic about 10 days ago, to seek treatment for her addictions. Other than her entry into the facility, no other details regarding the treatment or what led to the singer's decision to seek help were released.

The 'I Will Always Love You' performer was forced to postpone shows on the European leg of her Nothing But Love tour due to her long-standing battle with addiction.

Houston, 47, has publicly battled drugs and alcohol in the past, entering rehab both in 2004 and 2005. Recently, Houston's 18-year-old daughter Bobbi Kristina has been caught up in an alleged cocaine scandal of her own.

Out patient rehab doesn`t work, she will not be there long enough
and will walk out in the middle of the program. Unless she checks in
a facility for a few months and get the treatment she needs it won`t work.

I am so sick of Whitney Houston going back and fourth with her rehab programs. She looked so great when she made her last album and now back to the crack. I blame Bobby for all this. She was doing great before he came along into her life. Whitney we love you but, how long do you think your fans will go on this merry go round with you?

Praise God!

This isn't doing anyone of you any good to set here, and make negative comments about people, when they fall.
You should have a Heart of Love, that's God's Will, and he already knows our weakness, even " Yours. So! As you Judge others, it's like pointing fingers at another one of God's Children. Consider This!

God Saved (us), not because of righteous things we had done, but becuase of "His Mercy", so that having been justified by "His Grace" (we)all of God's Children, by Grace, we might become heirs having the " Hope of Eternal Life ". So! Should you who continue to Judge, what if God allow her trials become yours? Would you prefer that? Think before you speak, all Souls belong to God, and whatever the case or trial may be. God! Loves those who are weak, and " He will make them strong, again.

Mrs. Whitney Houston! May God continue to strengthen you, as you go through those " Trials of Life ". May Bobby Christina, continue to stay strong, and I know Mother Houston, has taught You! Bobby Christina, God's way, so this is just another Task that God is working in Your Daughter, and Grand-Daughter, to make them be strong enough to handle the next matter that God may have for them both.
Mrs. Whitney Houston! May you got get those (Treatments), so you may be stronger in the Lard, and come out doing what he's already purposed for you to do. The devil wants you to fall, but continue to "Be strong in the Lord, and in the power of (his) might, in the matchless name of Christ Jesus. God Bless You, and Bobby Christina. Amen! As for those who bad-mouth Jesus, consider the source for whence they came from. satan has his imps out there working to bring us down. Oh! "But God". Hallelujah! Anyhow. God Bless You & Your Child! Amen!

They are WEAK people w/ meaningless lives and NOT enough "Intelligence" to conduct themselves in a MORE productive manner !!!..They had the CHOICE of "Right" or "Wrong." . .For Pete's sake, this is the year 2011 !!!!!

Most drug/alcohol abusers have addictive personalities. It's something that's not in their control.
Instead of bashing them, maybe you should give them some support.
You NEVER know what someone's going thru uless you lived in their shoes.
Stop the bashing people!
