Brooke Mueller is ready to give rehab another try.
Just over one week after being arrested in Aspen, Colo., for felony cocaine possession with the intention to distribute, Charlie Sheen's ex-wife has announced plans to attempt an at-home treatment plan.
"Recognizing past attempts at treatment have not been successful, Brooke has decided to take a different approach to deal with her addiction," says Mueller's spokesman, Steve Honig. "Brooke will be participating in a program during the day, and will be under expert supervision 24 hours a day, seven days a week. In addition, Brooke has requested to be tested on a daily basis for cocaine and other illegal substances so there is no doubt as to her commitment."

The mom of 2-year-old twin sons Bob and Max was released from Pitkin County Jail December 3 when she posted an $11,000 bond. Mueller, who was also busted for a misdemeanor third degree assault charge, has a District Court date of December 19. Her latest brush with the law comes nearly two years after Sheen allegedly held a knife to his then-wife's throat in Aspen and threatened to kill her.

Since a custody agreement was reached in April 2011, the couple's sons have been in Mueller's care, and will remain in her home as she seeks treatment.
"Brooke will retain custody of her children, both of whom will continue to remain at her home and be cared for by Brooke and their longtime nanny," says her spokesman. "Charlie and Brooke's family are all fully supportive of this decision and recognize the importance of maintaining the children's normal routine."

4Wow, this chick is really messed up. It's been proven that she cannot maintain her sobriety so what makes her think this time will be any difference? It's a sad day when Charlie Sheen is the more stable parent.

Bad idea. She has proven herself incapable of maintaining sobriety. Her sons need to be placed with either Denise Richards or Charlie's brother Emilio Estevez. She needs to know what it is like to have everything taken away. Just b/c she has money, does not mean that she is above the law.
Those poor little boys. What a train wreck family they have.
