Actor Cory Monteith, who stars on the Fox series Glee, has checked into rehab, PEOPLE has learned exclusively. The actor "has voluntarily admitted himself to a treatment facility for substance addiction," his rep tells PEOPLE. "He graciously asks for your respect and privacy as he takes the necessary steps towards recovery."
Monteith, 30, has been open about past struggles regarding substance abuse. He admitted in a 2011 interview that he previously entered rehab when he was 19. At the time, the actor said he hoped being honest about his struggle with substance abuse would help others. "I don't want kids to think it's okay to drop out of school and get high, and they'll be famous actors, too," he said in 2011. "But for those people who might give up: Get real about what you want and go after it."
Glee star Lea Michele is supporting her costar and boyfriend Cory Monteith as he enters rehab for substance addiction."I love and support Cory and will stand by him through this," she tells PEOPLE exclusively. "I am grateful and proud he made this decision."
