Sources close to the star revealed to
ET, Locklear’s family are feeling a sense of relief that the 56-year-old will most likely return to rehab, telling the news outlet, “They hope this time she will take rehab seriously and turn her life around for herself and her daughter. Her family finally has been coming to terms with the fact that if they continued to help her get out of trouble she would just repeat the same pattern. They know she has been completely out of control and it’s scary for everyone involved. Rehab is the only solution at this point.”
“Heather has been warned that she is losing both friends and family members to this disease,” the source told
