Former "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" star Nicholas Brendon is now on the road to recovery after years of substance abuse and depression. Brendon took to Twitter on July 4 to ask his followers to get him in contact with Dr. Drew, a rehab specialist.
"If anyone sees @drdrew, have him give a call. Could sure use a pep talk :/ #depressionisreal #helpisoutthere #keepfighting," Brendon tweeted to his 90,000 followers.
The actor entered a California rehab facility on June 2 to treat his depression, alcoholism and substance abuse, according to his Facebook page. The 44-year-old actor has been arrested three times for charges including grand theft, public intoxication and criminal mischief, People Magazine reported.
"It could be @drdrew, @DrPhil or Dr You...support from the Tweeps is appreciated #sos #itsthemiddleofthenight #momentbymoment #keepfighting," Brendon wrote on Twitter, adding, "need doctors lawyers and accountants, oh my #keepfighting #depressionisreal #ItGetsBetter #right?"
The actor was arrested in Tallahassee, Fla. in March for allegedly damaged a hotel room after demanding an upgrade since he was a TV star, according to the Daily Mail. His latest arrest was in Myrtle Beach, S.C. for public intoxication.
