The Situation: I Have a Prescription Drug Problem

by at .

The Situation is coming clean about getting clean.

The Jersey Shore star, real name Mike Sorrentino, previously called reports that he was in rehab "ridiculous embellishments" reported by the media.

Well, it turns out they weren't all that ridiculous.

Sitch explained in a Facebook post Wednesday that he [wants] "to set the record straight" about having "voluntarily taken steps to get control" of his life.

Mike writes on his official Facebook Wall: "I have voluntarily taken steps to get control of a prescription medication problem I had due to exhaustion."

"I have spent the past several weeks getting treatment for this problem and recuperating ... I appreciate my fans' support and I love you guys."

TMZ, which broke the story of The Situation in rehab, says he went through detox at a facility even before he checked into Utah's Cirque Lodge.

Sitch didn't mention it on Facebook, but the celebrity gossip site claims Mike is "very open" with patients at Cirque about his drinking problem as well.

How this impacts the forthcoming Season 6 of Jersey Shore remains to be seen. A sober Mike and Snooki in Seaside? Can you even fathom that?

    So let me get this straight..... Most of you think the cast of JS should not get help and should just keep ruining there lives ( just for your entertainment) and NOT fix there drinking/drug problems cause its going to change JS too much. Really people??? Get a grasp and fix that hole in your hearts. I will beat money that 80% of you have acted like complete morons and whores when youve been drinking so dont be so quick to go judging other people. Karma comin for ya'll. That is all!! Have a lovely day!!!

    Late last night, I re-watched (but, on MTV On-Demand) a recent episode of JS. It was the one where they had that food fight all over the house and when they went camping. To me, that food fight was so ridiculous. I mean...come on...food fighting is so juvenile, so junior high school and so summer camp!!! And, when they went camping, the fellas acted like total idiots!!! Especially Mike aka "The Situation"...who was (and still is) on something. Throughout the whole episode, Mike looked like he was gonna lose his fucking mind!!! And, the idiocy and lunacy of JS continues..........LOL!!!!!
