Andy Dick has officially checked out of rehab less than 50 days after he checked in following an alleged overdose.
The news was confirmed by Page Six on Monday, January 26, and Dick, 60, told TMZ that he’s staying in a sober living house near Beverly Hills as he focuses on his recovery.
As the National Enquirer previously reported, Dick reportedly suffered an overdose in public in December. In a video obtained by TMZ, he was seen slumped over and unconscious while his black-rimmed glasses lay on the ground in front of him. It didn’t take long before bystanders rushed to help while someone yelled “Wake up!” and another person called 911.

According to the outlet, the Los Angeles Police Department arrived on the scene and administered Narcan, a medication used to reverse opioid overdoses. He was not transported to a hospital.
However, Dick’s rep later gave a statement to the National Enquirer.
“They were filming part of a documentary as well as a live stream. He was just drinking heavily and fell asleep,” Dick’s rep said, adding, “Be sure to watch his new movie T Bird that aired last month to catch his latest film work.”
Multiple sources later claimed that Dick could drink “more than a fifth of vodka a day.”
When the National Enquirerasked about the claims, Dick’s acting representative Trevor Simms said, “This could only be true during the brief time that he spends in Hollywood.”
