Tara Reid Ready for a New Beginning

Tara Reid checked into rehab last month and is getting her life back together with the help of her family, a source confirms.

“She’s doing well. The whole family is very positive about this being the new beginning for her,” says the source, who is close to the family.

Reid decided to check herself in to Promises Treatment Center, and though she’s been in treatment less than a month, her family and friends are optimistic about her future.

“They are taking steps to do everything they can to help Tara keep on the right track,” adds the source, who says Reid is expected to check out of the center shortly.

When she entered rehab her rep would not reveal what Reid was being treated for.

In an interview in October, Reid said she was a “social drinker” who enjoyed an occasional glass of wine with friends, but said that her partying days were over.

Tara Reids Romp into Rehab Causes Controversy

It’s no secret that stars get a lot of freebies, but it seems a complimentary cruise into rehab isn’t one of them.

According to Star Magazine,Tara Reid’s recent romp into Malibu’s Promises Treatment Center (which also housed other troubled Tinseltowners Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears) was given
to her for free and that unlike all other patients, the “American Pie” starlet’s bags were not searched.

But as it turns out, Miss Reid really
does have to pay for her Malibu stay which is a rumored $1600 per night.

“Promises is committed to keeping the identity of clients private to the best of our ability and Promises does not comments on its fees,” a rep from the rehabilitation facility told Tarts. “All client belongings are searched, as are
all incoming packages. Rooms are subject to search at random and all clients are treated the same and expected to follow the same set of rules with no exceptions.”

The treatment facility’s rep also said that the suggestion that Promises would search Hollywood for a celebrity who needs rehab in an effort to garner publicity is libelous, offensive and without any basis in reality and are demanding the magazine print a retraction before further action is taken.

Tara Reid checked into Promises on December 9 but declined to announce publicly what she was being treated for.A rep for Tara Reid also confirmed that the actress is certainly not receiving free or special treatment on her road to recovery.
