Gerard Butler is in rehab being treated for substance abuse issues, according to reports.
The 42-year-old actor is apparently seeking help for his problems at the Betty Ford Center, according to TMZ.com.
The website suggests that the Law Abiding Citizen actor made the decision to enter the Betty Ford clinic three weeks ago when he decided he had become too reliant on pain medication.
It is further reported that Butler will be leaving the clinic today.
In December, the Scottish star was said to have cheated death by seconds during his surfing accident, which saw him trapped underwater after being hit by a series of waves.
Gerard got caught in a 12ft swell while filming Of Men and Mavericks which tells the true life story of late surfing icon Jay Moriarty, at the infamous big-wave Northern Californian surfing spot Maverick's.
After being pulled from the water onto a jet ski, he was taken to shore and driven to Stanford Medical Center where he was kept under observation for one night.
