David Duchovny Completes Sex Addiction Rehab

Actor David Duchovny has completed a rehabilitation program for sex addiction, his attorney said Monday.

The actor's admission to a rehab facility for treatment of sex addiction was publicly revealed by his attorney, Stanton "Larry" Stein, in late August, Reuters reported.

"I ask for respect and privacy for my wife and children as we deal with this situation as a family," Duchovny said in a statement upon announcing that he was voluntarily entering rehab, according to FoxNews.com.

In a statement on Monday, Stein said Duchovny "has successfully completed rehabilitation."

"He is out and will very soon begin work on his new movie," Stein said.

Stein did not release any information as to where the actor had been treated or when he left the rehab center.

Ironically, Duchovny, 48, won a Golden Globe Award as best actor in a comedy for his role as Hank Moody, an oversexed single dad and novelist struggling with writer's block in the Showtime series, Californication, Reuters reported.

Duchovny, former star of the X-Files films and TV series, is married to actress Tea Leoni and they have two children.
