Steven Adler back in rehab

Former Guns N' Roses drummer Steven Adler was released from Los Angeles police custody late Friday afternoon (July 18th) after making bail and is now headed back to rehab following his arrest on drug possession charges earlier that day. Adler's bail bondsman told TMZ.com, "In conjunction with Dr. Drew Pinsky, who is the owner of the Las Encinas rehab center (in Pasadena, California), we're about to -- hopefully with Steven Adler's cooperation -- escort him to Las Encinas to check him in to begin a hopefully positive rehab stay."

The bondsman added that if Adler resisted being taken to rehab, "I've been authorized to re-arrest him and take him forthwith back to L.A. County jail downtown and re-book him into the County jail system...So my fingers are crossed that he's gonna be a willing and co-operative defendant."

Los Angeles police said that the 43-year-old Adler was arrested around 4 a.m. on Friday after officers were called to a home where a man reportedly was creating a disturbance and refusing to leave.

Adler recently participated in the second season of the VH1 reality series Celebrity Rehab, in which various so-called celebrities struggle to beat their addictions. The new season will premiere this fall.

He was also signed to appear on a follow-up program called Sober Living, which would track the lives of cast members after they leave rehab.
