John Stamos breaks his silence after rehab

Los Angeles - John Stamos feels "healthy" and "grateful" after leaving rehab.

The 51-year-old star has returned to Twitter and is ready to get back to work after checking into a treatment facility to seek help after being arrested for DUI [Driving Under the Influence] in Beverly Hills, California on 12 June.

The Full House actor broke his silence on the social media site on Friday following his release, tweeting: "I'm back! Took a month to take care of things. Healthy. Feeling grateful for the love & support of family & friends."

Shortly afterwards, his former on-screen wife Lori Loughlin responded: "Welcome home @JohnStamos!! Can't wait to see you Monday! #FullerHouse."

He was handcuffed before being taken to hospital "due to a possible medical condition" and is set to appear before a judge for the DUI charge on 11 September.

Following the incident, Stamos took to his Twitter account to thank his fans for their support.
