As previously reported, in May reports surfaced that Locklear had checked herself back into an in-patient rehab facility for substance abuse treatment.

“She went back to rehab two weeks ago. She went back to the place she left before Christmas. She had left for three days right before Christmas and never gone back,” a source told People at the time. “Heather’s problem is she doesn’t get serious about anything. She was continuing to drink.”

“Her issue is alcohol, pills, and her mental health,” the source added. “She doesn’t want anybody to hold her accountable. She has no job, nothing to keep her accountable. This has been tearing up her family. It’s been an ongoing issue for many many years. It has been horrible for Ava.”

The actress reportedly was doing an in-patient program, but checked out in December to celebrate Christmas with her family. While she intended to return, she never did.
