Actor Burt Reynolds is having a hard time with drugs and alcohol, and has been admitted to a special hospital for recovery.
The National Enquirer sources claim that back in August Burt was found semi-conscious in a pool of blood by an employee at his home. His behavior was reportedly so strange that he was admitted to a mental facility.
Reynolds has checked into rehab after he reportedly fell at his Florida home, badly injuring himself.
Reynolds' publicist told Extra, "After a recent back surgery, Mr. Reynolds felt like he was going through hell and after a while, realized he was a prisoner of prescription pain pills. He checked himself into rehab in order to regain control of his life."
The rep added, "Mr. Reynolds hopes his story will help others in a similar situation. He hopes they will not try to solve the problem by themselves, but realize that sometimes it is too tough to do on their own and they should seek help, as he did."
