Melanie Griffith has checked herself into a rehab facility, Entertainment Tonight reports.
The actress is reportedly staying at Cirque Lodge in Utah, however her stay is said to be routine.
"She is there to reinforce her commitment to stay healthy," her rep confirmed. "This is part of a routine plan that was designed between her and her doctors years ago."
This isn't the first time the 52-year-old actress, who is married to Antonio Banderas, has gone to rehab.
In 2000, Griffith sought treatment for an addiction to painkillers, which she began using after suffering a neck injury.
She also checked into a Minnesota facility in 1988 to battle alcoholism and cocaine addiction after filming "Working Girl."
"Overcoming addictions is tough but it can be made easier if you have someone that can offer support," Griffith one wrote on her Web site. “My husband and family supported me so much through this journey and continue to do so."
