According to DailyMail, the 44-year-old is now at Cliffside Malibu rehabilitation facility, following a family intervention prompted by concerns over his well-being.
The source told the outlet: "Sean is in rehab for pill addiction. He's had a long history of drug addiction, and he decided to get help when he saw that he was falling off the deep end again."

Cliffside Malibu, known for its high-end amenities and comprehensive treatment programs, charges approximately $80,000 per month. The facility offers patients stunning views of the Pacific Ocean, an outdoor pool, a gym, and services such as organic meals prepared by chefs and turn-down service in private rooms equipped with large televisions. Therapeutic activities include yoga, equine therapy, acupuncture, and group counselling.


Sean's father expressed pride in his son's proactive approach to seeking help. The insider said: "Rod is proud of him for getting help. He is expected to do a 90-day stay, which is the norm."
This rehabilitation effort comes after Sean's recent personal challenges, including his split from wife Jody Weintraub and a subsequent relationship with Julia Stambler, known for her past association with actor Charlie Sheen. Sean and Jody, daughter of film producer Jerry Weintraub, married in a spontaneous Las Vegas ceremony on Valentine's Day in 2023 but separated months later.
