Ben Affleck, ‘getting better’ sa rehab
MATAPOS makumpleto ang 30 araw sa loob ng rehab, Ben Affleck “is doing much better” at mukhang magtatagal pa siya loob, lahad ng source sa People.
Namataan ang 46-anyos na aktor sa Malibu treatment facility na kanyang tinigilan nitong Linggo – isang buwan makaraan siyang mamataan kasama ang ex-wife na si Jennifer Garner na inihahatid siya sa rehab center.
“He is doing much better but needs to continue receiving care,” pahayag ng source sa People. “As difficult as it was to have his recent trip to rehab all play out so publicly, it now seems the way it happened was for the best.”
Dati nang pumasok sa rehab si Ben noong 2001 at, makaraan ang ilang taon, inihayag niya na nakumpleto na niya ang gamutan para sa kanyang alcohol addiction noong Marso 2017.
“Ben seems to take this rehab visit more seriously,” sabi ng source. “This time is different. He doesn’t want his kids to have to go through this again.
“Ben is really trying very hard to get better. He is taking things day by day, but it seems he plans on staying at the treatment center for at least a couple of more weeks.”
May tatlong anak si Ben kay Jennifer — sina Violet, 12, Seraphina, 9, at Samuel, anim na taong gulang.
Dagdag pa ng ibang source: “This continues to be a very public battle on a private matter and he struggles with that. He is encouraged by all the support and wants people to take away that you can ask for help.”
Pumasok ang aktor sa rehab noong Agosto 22 para lunasan ang kanyang alcohol addiction, na una nang kinumpirma ng People.
Simula noon ay lagi nang namamataan si Ben na pumupunta sa bahay niya sa Los Angeles para sa scheduled basketball workouts kasama ang kanyang coach, habang patuloy na nagpapagaling sa rehab. Isiniwalat ng second source na pinayagan ng rehab facility ang pagwo-workout ni Ben sa bahay.
“He recently put in a gym at his home and is most comfortable there,” dagdag pa ng unang source. “Ben continues to work hard on himself and is committed to his rehab program, which includes a daily routine of multiple meetings and indoor and outdoor exercise.”
