Singer Aaron Carter has checked into rehab again.

In a recent interview, the "I'm all about you" singer confirmed his enrollment in the outpatient program and mentioned seeing an individual counselor. The artist also admitted that quitting marijuana was his primary motivation for enrolling.

Carter's admission to treatment comes before his custody hearing for his 9-month-old kid, whose care was earlier granted to the musician's mother by a judge. He previously disclosed that to provide a solid foundation for their child, he and his fiancée—also the mother of his child—took domestic violence lessons for many months.

"It's an abstinence program and I work with an individual counselor," the 34-year-old singer told the Sun via video conference while out and about with fiancée Melanie Martin.

He added: "I do group therapy, parenting classes, domestic violence classes, I got myself certified in CPR, just a lot of different things. It's new being a parent but it's actually become really fun and exciting and given me a new chapter of my life. It's been amazing."

Carter also noted that this was his fifth time in rehabilitation, adding that he enrolled mainly to "help with the weed." "I don't want to smoke weed anymore, I don't need to," he said.

As regards other concerns that he has started using again, he shared that he has had no "relapses" but hopes to deal with his triggers while in rehab.

Carter revealed that he had destroyed all of the marijuana plants he was growing and its related equipment, seemingly to show that he was actually working on himself.

"I have a medicinal marijuana license to grow up to 99 plants a year. But I threw away all that gear, I sold all of it, got rid of all my plants and my strains I was growing."

The singer shared that he did all this by his own choice and not because it was instructed by the Court or the Department of Children and Family Services.

Carter also mentioned his plans to marry Martin as soon as the custody dispute was resolved. He also said they could try for a second kid to grow their family.
