Jersey Shore star Mike 'The Situation' Sorrentino has confirmed that he recently completed a stint in rehab.
Sorrentino received treatment at Utah's Cirque Lodge for a "prescription medication problem" as well as an apparent alcohol dependency.
A representative for the Jersey Shore star has now announced that The Situation has checked out of rehab and is continuing his recovery at a private location.
"Michael 'The Situation' Sorrentino is home and would like to thank his fans, friends, family, and business partners for their continued support and words of encouragement," the spokesperson said in a statement. "He is now stronger and better than ever, and excited for this new amazing chapter in his life."
The statement continues: "With your positive reinforcement and a whole new outlook on life - there are so many great things on the horizon, and I am sure you will all be excited for the many new projects Sitch has in development.
"Words alone cannot express how much you all mean to Mike, and his gratitude for the care you showed him is infinite. You guys truly are the best!"
The Situation suggested upon entering rehab that he turned to prescription drugs to combat "exhaustion".
MTV has announced that The Situation, Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi and the rest of Jersey Shore's cast will return for the sixth season.
