Brooke Mueller heads to rehab

Los Angeles - Brooke Mueller is reportedly going to check into a rehab programme which will cure her addictions by giving her a drug that will "rewire" her brain.

The actress - the ex-wife of Charlie Sheen - is set to undergo an "extreme" seven-day treatment course at a facility in Cancun, Mexico, which specialises in giving patients Ibogaine, a hallucinogen drug that will re-programme her brain and cure her of her addictions, according to TMZ.com.

In some studies the drug - which is made from extracts from the iboga plant - has been shown to interrupt addictions to alcohol, cocaine, methadone and heroin. It is not legal in the US.

Flight attendant row

The news of her latest rehab plans come just days after Brooke - who has two-year-old twin sons Bob and Max with Charlie - was involved in a row with a flight attendant last week.

The 33-year-old blonde beauty was on a United Airlines flight to Cancun when she was prevented from using the restroom on board because the plane was about to depart.

After an arguing with a stewardess, the reality TV star exited the aircraft, though it is not known if she was ejected from the plane or allowed to disembark of her own accord.
