Whitney Houston in Rehab for Drug and Alcohol Treatment

Whitney Houston is seeking help.

The singer, 47, who has struggled with substance abuse in the past, has recently entered an out-patient treatment program.

"Whitney Houston is currently in an out-patient rehab program for drug and alcohol treatment," her rep tells PEOPLE in a statement. "Whitney voluntarily entered the program to support her long-standing recovery process."

Houston initially entered rehab in 2004, telling ABC News interviewer Diane Sawyer at the time: "I partied a lot. Trust me: I partied my tail off." But, the singer also admitted, "You get to a point where you know the party's over."

She then received treatment again in 2005, this time with the help of her mother, Cissy Houston.

TMZ.com first reported that Houston was in rehab.

She's clearly never been clean :/

The whole rehab thing that celebrities do is so boring now. Half of them treat rehab like hotels and are in and out like yo-yo's. Its just repetitive. :bored:

Poor Whitney, Bobby Brown sure ruined her life.

You cant blame him for this, everyone is their own person, sure he might have introduced her to it, but hes not controlling her.

I told all my friends this and they all agreed this was much more entertaining than reading about Bin Laden's death.
