Ryan Edwards was released from Hamilton County Jail on Monday, April 15 after a nearly three-month stint behind bars on heroin and theft charges.
After three failed rehab attempts, is the Teen Mom OG dad planning to return to treatment to battle his drug addiction?
Breaking Celebrity News can exclusively reveal Maci Bookout's baby daddy has no post-rehab treatment plans, as his family doesn't believe he'll remain sober.
No Hope?
"Being incarcerated, his family hopes he learned his lesson and stays clean," a source told Breaking Celebrity News. "Would they bet on it? Not on a dime. Drugs are very powerful. When your body needs them, you do things you normally wouldn't do."
Post-Jail Plans
Ryan's mother Jen and father Larry hope he seeks treatment again. "Jen would like for Ryan to find a counselor, someone he can talk to," the source said. "Larry has a lot of plans they would like to happen, but they don't happen."
Ryan’s Call
The source continued that the decision is ultimately Ryan's. "His family is hoping and praying," the source said. "A lot of people love him. He's a good guy. He's done good things and bad things. They believe God has a plan for Ryan."
Unconditional Love
Regardless of what Ryan chooses and if he remains sober, his parents will continue to support him. "They'll always love him," the source said. "They will always be there. They're not shielding them because it is what it is. They're there to support him."
Legal Troubles
As Breaking Celebrity News readers know, Ryan was arrested on January 23, 2019 for outstanding warrants. He was charged with simple possession of heroin executed by Red Bank. He broke probation from a past 2017 possession of heroin charge.
Boozed-Up Bust
For his Hamilton County warrant, he was charged with theft of services under $1,000 when he allegedly left a bar without paying the $36 bill on December 19, 2018. The case was dismissed.
