After having finished a 40-day stint last month in a Malibu clinic, Ben Affleck has returned to the rehab. The actor has admitted to friends that he needs to continue his treatment for more time in order to stay sober, reported Daily Mail. 

"He was going to move out and become an outpatient — but he’s checked back in. He will stay most nights in the clinic. This is not just a disease you cure in one go," told a source close to the actor to the publication. The source added, "Ben has and will always be working hard to get better. He wants to work, see his children and focus on his recovery."
