Steve-O has been ordered to attend rehab for two years after pleading guilty to cocaine possession.
The 'Jackass' star, real name Stephen Glover, was arrested in March on suspicion of vandalism and drug possession at his Hollywood home after arguing with a neighbour about a fence.
He originally pleaded not guilty but, after admitting his involvement during the hearing at a Los Angeles court, he will avoid jail.
His lawyer Barry Gerald Sands said: "Steve is doing great - he has been sober for 85 days. His probation is set for 18 months, but it may be shorter depending on his good behaviour and continuation with the program he is in.
"He is currently living in a sober house and has straightened up."
Following his arrest, the MTV prankster was admitted to a mental health unit, amid fears he was suicidal.
Friends became concerned for his wellbeing after the 33-year-old star sent a series of emails containing references to death and suicide.
He wrote repeatedly: "I'm ready to f***ing die."
