'Full House' star Jodie Sweetin Not in Rehab

"Full House" star Jodie Sweetin is setting the record straight. The actress said she entered a rehabilitation center and is seeking treatment. 

Sweetin, best known for her role as Stephanie Tanner on the long running sitcom "Full House," told TMZ that the rumors are false. She has not entered a rehab center, she just works at one. 

Sweetin, who once battled an addiction with drugs, said she is currently working as a clinical logistics coordinator at an L.A. rehab centre.

According to the Los Angeles Times, her employer has allowed her to live in a studio apartment on the property while she is dealing with her divorce from husband Morty Coyle. 

"I work for the center and they have been really generous in helping me with a place to stay as Morty wanted me out by the end of the month," Sweetin explained. "The owners of the facility said I could stay here as I got things figured out."

Sweetin and Coyle are in the middle of a custody battle over their daughter Beatrix Carlin Sweetin Coyle, age 2. Sweetin filed for legal separation from her husband last month. The two were married in a private ceremony in March 2012. People magazine reported the former child star cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split. 

"Breakups are hard and certain people [her husband] don't make them easier," she said. "People get weird and stalkerish... You never know someone until you break up with them."

Sweetin announced the split from her husband on Twitter and thanked her fans for being supportive.

"Thank you to everyone for being kind and supportive... I really appreciate all the fan love. Life can have it's challenges, for sure!"

Sweetin has another daughter Zoie Laurel May Herpin from her second marriage with film transportation coordinator, Cody Herpin. Sweetin's first marriage was to a Los Angeles police officer when she was 20. The couple was married for four years. 

The former actress talked about her struggles with drugs in her 2010 memoir "UnSweetined".
