Richie Sambora has left a Los Angeles treatment facility after a weeklong stay. A rep for BON JOVI told People magazine that the guitarist completed a program at the UCLA Medical Center, and is doing well. Although the specific nature of his problem was not disclosed, Sambora checked into the facility a day after reports surfaced that Sambora was visibly intoxicated during Bon Jovi's recent taping of MTV Unplugged.
Friends claim the rocker's personal difficulties are to blame for his behavior. He recently split with longtime girlfriend Denise Richards, which followed his divorce from actress Heather Locklear. His father also died recently.
Sambora is expected to join Bon Jovi at all supporting appearances following the release of the band's new album Lost Highway on June 19th.
They are slated to perform on the The View on June 20th and have a scheduled appearance on the Today Show.
A light touring schedule is being set up, beginning June 24th in London.
