Ryan Edwards Ordered To Rehab

This latest bust comes after the reality television star was ordered to rehab. He successfully completed the rehab’s 28-day treatment program in Tennessee and was then ordered to go to his rehab’s halfway house. The judge did allow Edwards to take a "furlough from his year-long jail sentence to go to the rehab and halfway house," according to the outlet. He remains on that furlough.

In April of this year, the "Teen Mom" star was found unconscious in his truck, with the engine still running, and left in “drive”. According to reports, he allegedly snorted a substance and passed out in the driver's seat. Luckily, emergency responders got there in time and gave Edwards a mediciation called Narcan, which is used to reverse an opioid overdose.

Ryan Edwards Doses Off In 'Teen Mom' Episode

In 2017, a very concerning episode of "Teen Mom" aired, which showed Ryan Edwards dosing off, slurring his words, and not focusing on the road, while he was driving with Mackenzie Edwards.

Following the airing of the episode, the reality TV star told US Weekly, “A little over 30 days ago, I made the decision to check myself into a rehabilitation facility. I am back home now doing well, and life could not be better. Without the support of my wife and parents, I would not have been able to do this. Thank you all for your well wishes.”
