Aaron Carter Checks Into Rehab After Losing Custody of Son!

Aaron Carter has enrolled in an outpatient program in L.A.’s LionRock Recovery to help him deal with his addiction issues.

Aaron, 35, said he is checking into the facility to prevent him from falling off the wagon after five years of sobriety. The singer also revealed that the facility would help him stabilize his relationship with his fiancée, Melanie Martin, and stop smoking “marijuana.” Carter told The Sun, “I haven’t had any relapses or anything like that, it’s just triggers are big right now for me [and] I want my son back.”

Aaron and Melanie share a 10-month-old child named Prince who is currently in the custody of Melanie’s mother. In the interview, Aaron explained why he enrolled in the rehab center. “The main reason why I enrolled into Lionrock Recovery outpatient is to help with the weed. I don’t want to smoke weed anymore,” he explained. “I don’t really need to. I have a medicinal marijuana license to grow up to 99 plants a year.” The 1990s teen heartthrob said he threw away all of that gear and sold all the strains he was growing. 

Carter explained during his court hearing that the Department of Children and Family Services tried to evaluate him but the judge said he had to do specific steps. He explained — “It’s an abstinence program and I work with an individual counselor, do group therapy, parenting classes, domestic violence classes, I got myself certified in CPR, just a lot of different things. It’s new being a parent but it’s actually become really fun and exciting and given me a new chapter of my life. It’s been amazing.”

Aaron Carter also denied claims of being addicted to Xanax that he has been prescribed to treat his insomnia and depression. Aaron said his addiction was never for narcotics but for ‘huffing and dusting’, where abusers inhale canned air, which specialists say causes ‘an immediate rush of euphoria as well as possible hallucinations and delusions.” He also refuted claims that he was in denial about his addictions like Michael Jackson. 

Carter explained the difference between him and the King of Pop. “The difference between Michael and I is that Michael didn’t go to rehab, ever. Basically, unlike Michael, every single time I voluntarily put myself into programs. It’s really important to me to stay on those regimented medications.” Carter insisted that he no longer has opiate issues and has quit smoking weed.
