14 DAY TRIAL // Just days after moving into her new home and, of course, taking the media for a tour of her and her 14 kids’ new digs, Nadya Suleman, also known as Octomom, has entered rehab for addiction to prescription drugs.
TMZ reports that, for 30 days in a row, Suleman’s 14 children will be left in the care of nannies, while she seeks professional treatment to an addiction to Xanax, which she developed as she was trying to cope with the stress of being in the spotlight.
As you might remember, Suleman became famous when she gave birth to healthy octuplets. The moment news broke that she had another 6 minors at home and literally no job to provide for them, she became infamous.
Since then, Suleman has been struggling to make ends meet, even doing several odd jobs many other women (and moms too) would be ashamed to list in their resume.
“Nadya wanted to get off the Xanax she was prescribed by her doctor and learn to deal with her stress, exhaustion and anxiety with professional help with a team of doctors. Nadya wanted to deal with her issues and make sure she is the best mother she can be,” her rep says for TMZ.
Of course, that begs the question of who will be taking care of Suleman’s kids while she’s away for 30 days, at the Chapman House Drug Rehabilitation Center in Southern California.
The same media outlet claims to have it on good authority that 3 nannies and 2 friends will be helping out with taking care of the kids.
“Neither Nadya's mother nor father has been tapped to care for the kids. We're told Nadya can afford to pay for treatment by herself – because she's been making a ton of money from her [questionable new] career – but the rehab facility offered to pick up the tab anyway,” TMZ goes on to say.
