Robin Baum is Griffith’s representative. She told Star magazine that, “She is there to reinforce her commitment to stay healthy. This is part of a routine plan that was designed between her and her doctors years ago.”

Griffith has reportedly struggled with alcohol addiction for some time. Her longtime husband, actor Antonio Banderas, has stood by her through this struggle but, according to reports, is one of the reasons behind her decision to attempt another stay at an alcohol rehab.

This will be Griffith’s third stay at a drug and alcohol rehab. Prescription painkillers were her drug of choice back in the ‘70s and ‘80s (in conjunction with other drugs and alcohol). She entered drug rehab for the problem in 1998 and then again in 2000.

According to The San Francisco Chronicle, one insider has been quoted as saying, “She’s working with the counselors on getting control of her demons. The reason Melanie checked in was her husband was demanding that she get clean and sober.”

Another insider stated: “Melanie’s struggling right now, but Antonio has been checking in on her as much as he is allowed, making sure she gets back on her feet.”
