It has been reported that Matthew Perry is heading back to rehab again. Matthew Perry told TMZ that he is planning to go away for a month to focus on his soberness and to proceed his life in recovery. He further added that people can enjoy making fun of him on the world wide web.

This trip of Matthew Perry will be his third trip to rehab. In 1997, he sought rehab treatment and then again in 2001, and later he told “People” Magazine that since then he had been taking “ probably a quart of vodka" a day.

Failure or not, Matthew's got lot of company in the in-again, out-again world of rehab. It has been estimated that more than 2 million Americans go into rehab every year, and up to 50% relapse or revert after treatment.

According to People Magazine, Matthew's latest trip to rehab was not occasioned by a relapse but was a preventative measure. According to Dr. Carol J. Weiss, abusers go to rehab for all sorts of reasons, some are going to rehab as a preventive measure while some are seeking help for emotional problems.

Matthew Perry's decision has brought disappointing response from his latest television comedy "Mr. Sunshine". Perry has starred, co-produced and created the this comedy series, which made its entry in Feb but is thought to be at a high risk of cancellation after getting devalued appraisals. Matthew went to rehab twice, for his strong dependence and addiction to alcohol as well as prescription painkillers during the 10-year run of "Friends".
