LOS ANGELES, July 20 (UPI) -- Eric Dane's publicist says the actor is undergoing treatment for an addiction to painkillers at an undisclosed Los Angeles rehabilitation center.

The "Grey's Anatomy" star is married to actress Rebecca Gayheart, who is pregnant with their second child.

"Actor Eric Dane voluntarily checked himself into a treatment facility to help him get off of pain medication that he was prescribed for a sports injury that he suffered over the recent hiatus. He reports back to work next week. Business as usual," his representative said in a statement issued to People.com.
