In a joint statement to UsMagazine.com, CBS, Warner Bros. Television and Two and a Half Men creator Chuck Lorre stay they "support Charlie Sheen in his decision today to begin voluntary in-patient care at a treatment center. We wish him nothing but the best as he deals with this personal matter. Production on Two and a Half Men will be temporarily suspended."
It has been a volatile couple months for Sheen. On Feb. 8, he was formally charged in an Aspen court for the Dec. 25 incident in which he attacked his wife Brooke and threatened to kill her. He faces one to three years in prison for the felony menacing charge.

His 32 year-old wife, meanwhile, checked into rehab herself in early February for a reported crack addiction; she left Malibu's The Canyon on Monday following a privacy breach.
"Brooke voluntarily chose to leave The Canyon for purposes of privacy," her rep told Extra. "And immediately checked into an undisclosed facility to diligently continue her treatment."

The couple have two children: twins Bob and Max, born in March of last year.

25US Magazine you are crazy there is no profanity in my post you had better reset your page or do something because it is wrong!
As a former drug addict, I know exactly how hard it is to overcome drug addiction. It takes a LOT more time to recover than 28 days. I tried that 3 times. Finally after an 8 month stay, I got my life back and now live a happy healthy life with a beutiful family. THEY CAN DO IT! It just takes TIME, EFFORT, and the WANT to do it. God Bless those babies. God only knows what they've seen and been through or been neglected. PRAY FOR THEM!
And some of you who are commenting are idiots for asking..."Where are the kids?" & "Who's taking care of the kid's". Brooke left rehab and the kids have grand-parents you morons! Get a life. lol.
He needs more than rehab but this is a good start! I don't like you much Charlie but good for you. Glad you're trying. :)
People are made at Tiger Woods because he was a cheater, and this animal is still on Network T.V.??? He took a knife to his wife's throat, is a serial woman beater and drug addict, but sponsors are not mad at him. How twisted. Nineteen year old Chris Brown is blackballed, but Charlie has been pulling this for two decades and no one blinks??? I'm not excusing other behavior, but why is this animal always able to slide, how much power does his dad or him have in Hollywood that he gets away with this, and he is one of those morons who thinks 9/11 was a self made disaster, that alone should have got him kicked off t.v., he's a lowlife. Take the kids away from these two jerks.
Good luck! Get clean for your family!
I really feel for their children. Both Charlie & Brooke have problems, and they don't have one parent they can really count on right now. Thank goodness for family in during this time. I hope they both get help, so everyone can be healthy & happy...
All I can think about upon reading this is their poor little ones. Both of their parents are in serious trouble, and that leaves them with what?
this is a sad, sick excuse for a human being. not a man at all. wouldn't know what it was to be a man if the concept got up and bit him on the azz. What's more, I don't get why any woman in her right mind thinks he is sexy or alluring or charming or hot. he's a disgusting misogynist: women need to wise up to his women-hating ways and tell him to go buy a plastic doll if he wants to get laid.
i hope he cleans up for good this time. i really like charlie, he just has always had problems. keep battling those demons, charlie. eventually you'll win
He's in rehab, she's in rehab what about their little boys? where are they?
AGAIN??????????????
To Anon: He only has 3 daughters. One older on from his first marriage, two with his second wife and the twins are boys. Now as far as the children are concerned: TAKE THEM AWAY IMMEDIATELY! They need to be placed with a family member where they are safe and secure. Unless they are removed they will end up in the crossfire and it would be a tragedy. Charlie is in need of serious help, but this woman who just had two beautiful babies and turns to crack is a real loser and should not have custody of these kids at all, ever.
Charlie has had problems with getting his life together for many,many years. It's unfortunate because he actually has talent and not to mention 4 beautiful daughters who deserve a stable and sober father. For his children's sake, I sincerely hope he gets the help he needs
How idiotic of US weekly not to address the obvious question of WHERE ARE THE KIDS?
Someone call CPS - seriously! Now that they both acknowledge they are addicts, their parental rights should seriously be reconsidered. These children need a better life than living in a crack house!
WHO IS TAKING CARE OF THE KIDS????
And once again... this is what Hollywood does to people! I can care less about them, but I feel sorry for the kids!
I'm not surprised to hear this!
Too bad Charlie and Brooke were able to breed. I feel sorry for their children. I hope Denise Richards is able to keep her girls away from Charlie and Brooke.
