They Tried To Make Him Go To Rehab…And He Said No No No!

Filed under: Drugs > Owen Wilson

Uh oh! This does not bode well for Owen Wilson's recovery!

After the actor's recent suicide attempt, the crooked nosed blonde was expected to go straight to rehab after checking out of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. However, Wilson has resisted getting treatment, In Touch Weekly is reporting.

Though his family and friends have urged him to get help, Wilson - who has had two previous stints in rehab - "doesn’t think he really has a problem,” says an insider.

Instead, he has hired a $750-a-day sober companion and is even considering taking a trip out of town.

Owen is relying on his male companion to stay by his side 24/7. “Owen’s sober companion will be traveling with him,” says the insider.

Is a sober companion enough?

We hope he's in therapy too!!!!!

      Re: CLAUDIA_DE_SCRATCH – Im replying back to you because you left a comment to my name. This is not a argument, in my eyes, it's amusing to me, I don't argue with no one, lol. I'm happy to know that out of everybody on here that you notice me, I'm flatter. I'm also flatter that you feel the need to keep responding to me, like you're going to do again. You can't help yourself huh? Who hasn't felt like giving up when times get rough. But the point is , you don't! Now when you said you know how it feels to want to end your life, and you can relate to Owen. It sounds like more of a suicide attempt, then just having minor thoughts about giving up when we all go through our personal issues. Be more specific when writing about your past! Don't comment back let's end this now ok, we're not going to agree with each other. IT'S POINTLESS!

      Re: CLAUDIA_DE_SCRATCH – You tried. Jenna seems hostile.
      She thinks Owen's suicide reflects badly on HER, because SHE is white.l Narcissistic much. It's a reflection of how he is feeling; it's not about her. Suicide also has nothing to do with having a backbone or not. That's uninformed black and white thinking. Lastly, calling a person names such as 'Pussy' is that last thing someone in that state needs. She seems to think that she's O.K. and so he should be, too, if only he subscribed to her way of thinking. None of us knows what he's dealing with internally or externally. Trite statements such as 'keep positive' are well intentioned, but if Owen was succeeding at keeping positive, we wouldn't be here discussing his welfare.

      If he's truly depressed, then money isn't going to fix the root of the problem. He has the means to get help, but he has to figure this out for himself. i feel bad for him…I really wish him the best and hope he can bounce back soon.

      You can't love anyone before you can learn to love yourself. I'm sorry to hear Owen hasn't hit his bottom yet and can't seem to pull his head out of his ass. Like the blogger "Sherry" said, he definitely has deep issues that go farther than the drug use. I hope he makes it.

      133

      So, was Owen always too high to realize he had a dick growing off his face?? He was probably sober long enough to take a long look at that thing and decided he should just end it all and slit his wrists. Ouch, sorry Owen!

      134

      Sober companions? Ankle bracelet monitors? You can even take a pill to react with alcohol that is supposed to keep your ass sober. Guess what? You can fire the "companion", take off the bracelet, and don't take that pill anytime you want to drink. Every alcoholic in recovery (myself two years - yeah!!) knows you have to have the desire not to drink. His best bet is AA and a sponsor. That's free! Sadly, I don't think he has hit bottom yet.

      I hope the "sober companion" can watch him 24/7 to both keep him sober, and keep him from trying to kill himself. From what I heard, he's tried three times to kill himself (What? and still can't get it right), and this latest attempt was becuz he couldn't think of any funny material to put in this screenplay he's writing for a friend. Hrmph, great reason to try and off yourself. NOT

YOU'D THINK THAT AFTER HIS FAILL.ED SUICIDE ATTEMPT HE WOULD TRY AND STRAIGHTEN HIS LIFE OUT. OBVIOUSLY HE IS ON A PATH OF SELF-DESTRUCTION. WHICH IS SAD, SEEING AS HE HAS MANY FANS WHO ARE ROOTING FOR HIS WELL-BEING. GET WELL OWEN.!!!!!!!!

      I was reading all these comments and i cant believe how heartless people are this man is odviously at a low point in his life and all he needs is for people to leave him alone and let him get the help he needs professionally and from his family and friends. To go through this is bad enough but to have to do it in the public eye makes it im sure a thousand times harder. Get well Owen.

      Re: CLAUDIA_DE_SCRATCH
      Jenna sounds like some average heartless dipshit who thinks anyone who wants to die is a failure or something. I've also been suicidal. Even as a child I was depressed. No one else in my family was, though. Someone who has never been severly depressed has no clue what Owen has been through. The sadness that normal people feel compared to clinical depression or bipolar disorder is like the difference between a paper cut and a gaping wound.

      A sober companion is not enough. Are you kidding me? The main thing to understand here is that he doesn't think he has a problem. The scary thing to understand about that is that if Luke doesn't think slitting his wrists and taking too many pills isn't more than a bad day in La La Land then he is going to find out what having a problem really means but in a super bad way. I hope he finds an anonymous place where people like him take care of their non-problem drug addictions and suicidal tendencies. Good luck honey!

      That is sad. He does not think he has a problem?! That is too bad. People who aren't aware of their self destructive behavior are not going to get help. Or just don't want to face the fact that they are flawed. Going to rehab can only make things better not worse.

      168

      We can make all the jokes out there about Owen Wilson but the sad truth is this: hiring a "sober living companion" is not going to help in the long run and if he - Wilson - wants to use, he will use. If he does not have the strength nor courage to deal with his actual issues through rehab, self-evaluation and introspection, it will only be a matter of time. Sad but true: no one can do a single thing - family, friends, well intentioned fans - but pray. If someone is hell bent on self-destruction, trust me, they will find a way.

Perez, you are truly the “ONLY” person in the world making money (short lived I hope) for absolutely NO TALENT, NO CLASS, NO RESPECT FOR OTHERS and saying things to create turmoil, jelousy, bitterness, heartache, sadness….etc., of the people in the entertainment business,(who are the TRUE entertainers of America) and then you seem to think of yourself as a “STAR”!!! Perez, when it stops for you it will be VERY abrupt. It is honestly a wonder we have anyone who would want to entertain us with people like you. YOU ARE A VERY “LUCKY”, UNTALENTED TROUBLE MAKER.
