NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Keith Urban has checked himself into a rehabilitation treatment center for alcohol abuse, less than four months after his marriage to actress Nicole Kidman.

The Grammy-winning country singer released a statement Friday that said he entered rehab Thursday night with his wife by his side. His publicist would not give the location of the rehab center.

“I deeply regret the hurt this has caused Nicole and the ones that love and support me,” Urban said in the statement.

Urban, who turns 39 on Oct. 26, has publicly acknowledged a former addiction to cocaine.

“One can never let one’s guard down on recovery, and I’m afraid that I have,” the statement read.

Urban’s new CD, “Love, Pain, & the whole crazy thing,” will be released Nov. 7 as scheduled, but he will postpone all upcoming promotional appearances.

Urban will also likely cancel a scheduled appearance on the Country Music Association awards next month, the publicist said.

Kidman and Urban, who were both raised in Australia, married on June 25 in Sydney. They then moved to Nashville, where Urban records.

Urban won a Grammy this year for best male country vocalist for “You’ll Think of Me,” and was named top male vocalist for the second year in a row by the Academy of Country Music.

A Country Weekly magazine reader poll this year named him country music’s sexiest man.

One of the best methods of treating alcoholism is with drug rehab or a visit to a short term residential treatment center. There are several reasons for this. One is that it allows for a controlled environment in which the alcoholic can actually sober up for a moment and be able to start thinking clearly again. In some cases this is an impossibility for an alcoholic to achieve on the outside, and so the protected environment of a rehab is very important.

Another reason that drug rehab is useful for treating alcoholism is because they have medical staff there that can monitor the withdrawal. This is really important because the withdrawal is actually quite dangerous and in some cases can be fatal. Therefore it is important to have a medically supervised detox for any alcoholic who is looking to get well.

This sets up the alcoholic with a plan for after they leave treatment so that they can increase their chances of staying clean and sober. Without good follow up care and an aftercare plan, many alcoholics will simply end up relapsing.
