Andy Dick checks into rehab after apparent overdose report

Actor and comedian Andy Dick has reportedly checked into a rehabilitation facility following an apparent drug overdose earlier this week.

The 59-year-old was found slumped over outside a Hollywood building on December 9, prompting emergency responders to administer Narcan at the scene.

Dick, who has publicly struggled with substance abuse in the past, initially told TMZ he would not be seeking treatment.

However, he later confirmed he would enter rehab with the support of longtime friend Jennifer Gimenez, with whom he previously appeared on Celebrity Rehab.

Authorities confirmed responding to a medical emergency at the location but declined to release personal details, citing privacy regulations. Eyewitnesses described Dick as unresponsive and concerned bystanders feared for his life.

The actor is reportedly receiving care at a facility in the Palm Springs, California area, as he begins a new step toward recovery.
