Nadya "octomom" Suleman is seeking help for addiction. The 37-year-old has checked into Chapman House Drug
Rehabilitation Center in Orange County, California, for a prescription drug
problem, her rep confirmed to TMZ. She will be there for a 28-day stint, separating the
single mother from her 14 children.
Sharing that Suleman has become dependent on the anti-anxiety
drug Xanax, her rep told the website, "Nadya wanted to get off the Xanax
she was prescribed by her doctor and learn to deal with her stress, exhaustion,
and anxiety with professional help with a team of doctors. Nadya wanted to deal
with her issues and make sure she is the best mother she can be." Nannies
and friends will be looking after her many children — including her 3-year-old
octuplets — while she is gone. A rep for Suleman has not yet responded to
omg!'s request for comment.
Things had briefly been looking up for Suleman before
the rehab news broke. Last week, she showed off her gorgeous new
5,000-square-foot two-story home in Palmdale, California. The digs allow most
of her children to have their own beds for the first time (they had been
sleeping on mattresses on the floor), and the house features a large playroom
and big-screen TV.
Suleman's previous home in La Habra was foreclosed on
by the bank after she stopped making payments for over a year and she and her
family were evicted. She was able to afford to move to the new rental with
money she earned making an adult film.
