Former teen idol Leif Garrett has voluntarily checked into a strict live-in drug rehabilitation program to "make sure he doesn't fall off the wagon," his attorney said Thursday.
Garrett, 44, told a Superior Court commissioner Thursday he needed more help than what he was getting at an outpatient treatment program. The decision came after the actor-singer failed a recent drug test, said attorney Andrew Flier.
Garrett agreed to enter the outpatient program for violating probation in a cocaine case stemming from a 2004 arrest.
A warrant for Garrett's arrest had been issued in December after he failed to appear in court for a status report on his progress in the less stringent program.
Garrett was charged with felony possession of heroin last month after officers stopped him for allegedly trying to ride a Los Angeles subway train without a ticket and said they found suspected narcotics. Garrett has pleaded not guilty in that case.
