Whitney Houston is seeking help.<\/p>\n
The singer, 47, who has struggled with substance abuse in the past, has recently entered an out-patient treatment program.<\/p>\n
“Whitney Houston is currently in an out-patient rehab program for drug and alcohol treatment,” her rep tells PEOPLE in a statement. “Whitney voluntarily entered the program to support her long-standing recovery process.”<\/p>\n
Houston initially entered rehab in 2004, telling ABC News interviewer Diane Sawyer at the time: “I partied a lot. Trust me: I partied my tail off.” But, the singer also admitted, “You get to a point where you know the party’s over.”<\/p>\n
She then received treatment again in 2005, this time with the help of her mother, Cissy Houston.<\/p>\n
TMZ.com first reported that Houston was in rehab.<\/p>\n
