A publicist says Shia LaBeouf is being treated for alcoholism.
Melissa Kates said on Tuesday the 28-year-old actor has not checked into a rehab facility but is receiving voluntary treatment for alcohol addiction.
Kates said in a statement that LaBeouf’s recent actions — which include an arrest for disrupting a Broadway play — are symptoms of a larger health problem.
She said he has taken the first of many necessary steps toward recovery.
LaBeouf was charged with disorderly conduct, criminal trespass and harassment during a production of Cabaret last week.
The actor was arrested for drunken driving in 2008 after he crashed his pick-up truck, injuring his hand and knee.
LaBeouf is best known for appearing in the first three Transformers films.
