Los Angeles, May 29 (IANS): TV personality Rob Kardashian has checked himself into a 60-day Palm Beach rehabilitation centre to deal with his drug and alcohol addiction.

The 28-year-old star checked into the rehab over the last weekend after being urged by his family to seek professional help for his addiction to drinking, marijuana and codeine-packed cough syrup, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"Rob is in good spirits and has a positive mindset. He quietly checked into a beachside Palm Beach County drug and alcohol in-patient rehab centre over the weekend," said a source.

Celebrity bodyguard and local resident Mark Behar, a friend of Rob and his sister Kim Kardashian West, went on to say that he spoke to Rob just before he checked himself in, and thinks he'll lose some weight.

"He told me, 'This is it, I just need to stick with it and do this. His regimen includes weight loss and physical training. Rob will probably lose 10 to 20 pounds within the first few weeks by just being in rehab and daily programmes relating to his detox," he said.
