David Arquette is undergoing treatment for depression and alcohol abuse at the Betty Ford Center in California, Breaking Celebrity News has exclusively learned.
The Scream star, 39, sank into an emotional despair after the breakdown of his marriage to Courteney Cox in October.
"He is being treated for depression and alcohol abuse," a friend told Breaking Celebrity News.
Arquette tried to cope on his own, but was forced to seek professional help before Christmas after being confronted by loved ones.
He checked into Betty Ford for a permanent treatment program at the weekend.
The star is now being treated in the detox ward of the famed clinic, which also helped Lindsay Lohan.
One of Arquette's pals said: "He is dealing with a broken heart. The last couple of months have been really hard for David. But he has bravely stood up and realized he needs some help to deal with these issues."
The actor partied hard and cavorted with all nude strippers on December 7, as Breaking Celebrity News exclusively revealed.
