Ben Affleck, 40, Oscar-winning screenwriter, has voluntarily entered a treatment center to undergo alcohol treatment in 2011.
"Ben is a self-aware and smart man who has decided that a fuller life awaits him without alcohol," said David Pollick, his publicist, in a statement.
"He has chosen to seek out professional assistance and is committed to traveling a healthier road with the support of his family, friends and fans," Pollick said.
The Pearl Harbor star has checked into Promises, the same live-in rehab center where fellow actor Robert Downey Jr. and comedian Paula Poundstone are undergoing treatment.
