Philip Seymour Hoffman has revealed that he checked himself out of a detox facility for drug abuse.
The Oscar winner -- who struggled with drugs in the past, but has been sober for 23 years -- told TMZ that he relapsed more than a year ago, first using perscription pills, then graduating to snorting heroin. "The Master" actor's heroin use lasted for about a week, according to TMZ, because Hoffman quickly realized he had a problem and sought help.
He entered a rehab facility on the East Coast for 10 days and checked out last Friday.
So far, the treatment seems to be working for the 45-year-old. Hoffman is reportedly clean and already back to work filming a new movie in Europe.
Hoffman can be seen next in the "Hunger Games" sequel, "Catching Fire," as Plutarch Heavensbee.
