Austin Powers star Verne Troyer's long-running battle with alcohol abuse has landed him back in a rehab facility. The small star recently checked himself into a treatment center near his Michigan hometown for 12 days after suffering a relapse.
His manager, Elena Fondacaro, confirms to the National Enquirer, "Verne was in rehab and now he's in outpatient therapy. Alcoholism is an illness that comes and goes - and Verne realized he was slipping. He decided to go back to rehab because he's determined to maintain his sobriety."
In October 2002 the 38-year-old nearly died of alcohol poisoning after being distraught following a break-up with Genevieve Gallen, a busty blonde who was his bride for two months. Fondacaro adds, "He'll be back in Los Angeles to resume work by mid-January. He's determined to stay sober."
