Jason Wahler into rehab

Reality TV star Jason Wahler has entered a rehab facility for treatment of an undisclosed addiction.

Family member of the star tells People, "Jason's in rehab, and he's getting help," adding that "He's doing well, and he's going to be a new man. There was a deal made [with prosecutors]."

Wahler, who was supposed to turn himself in to authorities last week to serve a 60-day sentence stemming from a 2006 assault case, had the sentence delayed in favor of rehab.

Wahler is a US reality TV star, best known for his action as one main cast member in the hit reality TV show "Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County."
