Addiction – plagued FULL HOUSE star JODIE SWEETIN checked into rehab after dropping her bid to get full custody of her youngest daughter.
The ENQUIRER has learned the troubled 31-year-old entered a $50,000-a-month residential treatment facility that once housed a top-secret military base.
She’s also seeking to share joint custody of her daughter Beatrix, 2, after filing for legal separation from the tot’s father, her third husband, Hollywood DJ Morty Coyle.
“When I filed the separation papers in court, I requested sole custody of Beatrix,” Jodie told The ENQUIRER in an exclusive interview.
“But Morty and I sat down and talked about it, so I’m seeking only joint custody now.”
Asked whether she and Coyle will divorce, Jodie – who played adorable Stephanie Tanner on the hit show from 1987 to 1995 – said: “You know, relationships are complicated.”
Jodie also denied having a boyfriend, and added: “I don’t think I’ll ever get married again.”
She had no children with her first husband, police officer Shaun Holguin, and shares custody of daughter Zoie, 5, with second hubby Cody Herpin.
While Jodie has battled addictions to cocaine, crystal meth and alcohol in the past, she denied to The ENQUIRER that she was entering rehab.
But on July 27, an ENQUIRER reporter watched as the actress helped movers load furniture and clothing onto a truck at the apartment complex on Fuller Avenue in Los Angeles where she and Coyle lived.
When the truck pulled away, Jodie followed it to a secluded compound tucked away in the Hollywood Hills.
The compound, formerly known as the Lookout Mountain Air Force Station, was used by the military to house its secret nuclear bomb film unit between World War II and 1963. It boasted a soundstage, screening rooms, processing labs and a staff of filmmakers with top-secret security clearance.
The compound is now leased to the One80Center, a residential rehab facility that charges clients up to $50,000 a month to live on the grounds.
The ENQUIRER reporter watched as the truck carrying Jodie’s belongings drove through a small side gate. After the movers unloaded her items, including children’s furniture, Jodie paid them. Her daughter Zoie was with her.
“Since she filed separation papers from Morty, Jodie has put on a happy face in public,” a pal told The ENQUIRER.
“But privately she’s having a tough time.
“Jodie has a history of substance abuse, and she said that she was going to check into rehab to help her cope. Her close friends are keeping their fingers crossed that Jodie hasn’t relapsed and started using again to escape the pain of her third failed marriage.
“We all just hope that she’s checked into rehab as a preventative measure.”
