The star has been open about his problems with alcohol.
This isn’t the first time the comedian has sought treatment at a rehabilitation centre.
Back in 1986 he entered treatment for an addiction to prescription pain killers.
Chevy, pictured with former co-star Beverly D’Angelo, has been busy filming new projects.
At the time, his representative told media his addiction was a result of “chronic and long-term back problems” related to his ongoing slapstick pratfalls on Saturday Night Live.
“I was pretty low-level when it came to drug abuse,” Chevy revealed in an Esquire interview.
“I checked myself into the Betty Ford Clinic when my nose started to hurt,” he said.
Everyone loves the Griswolds but Chevy reveals creating his iconic character was much harder than he expected in the video below.
