Actor Chris Klein has checked himself into rehab following his second DUI arrest that occurred on June 16. A police officer pulled him over after he was spotted swerving across the westbound 101 Freeway in Los Angeles. His blood alcohol content was nearly three times the limit of .08.

Chris Klein was previously arrested on DUI charges in 2005 and his PR rep issued the following statement:

“After recent events, Chris was forced to take a clear look at a problem he has been trying to deal with himself for years. He understands now that he can not beat this disease alone. He thanks everyone for their support as he takes all the necessary steps to deal with his addiction and asks for privacy while doing so.”

Klein is receiving treatment at the Cirque Lodge in Utah. The Cirque Lodge may sound familiar to you as Mary Kate Olson, Eva Mendes, and yes, Lindsay Lohan have received treatment there as well. Klein is enrolled in a 30-day alcohol addiction program and plans to stay longer if needed.

The L.A. City Attorney’s office says Chris Klein faces four days in jail (a slap on the wrist?) if he is convicted of his second DUI offense. In accordance with a California law for repeat DUI offenders, Klein will also have to install an interlock device in his car if he wishes to drive again. This device will require him to perform a breathalyzer test in order to start the engine.
