NEW YORK (AP) – Days after he confessed to cheating on his wife and an addiction to pornography, Josh Duggar has entered rehab.
The ex-reality star checked himself into a long-term treatment center, according to his parents, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar.
Their announcement Wednesday on the family’s website did not specify the nature or duration of treatment, nor did it identify the facility. But the statement spoke of “a long journey toward wholeness and recovery.”
“We pray that in this he comes to complete repentance and sincere change,” his parents said, adding they are “deeply grieved” by his actions, which have “brought great insult to the values and faith we hold dear.”
The couple also said Josh’s wife, Anna, with whom he has four children, is receiving “counsel and help for her own heart and future.”
