Ben Affleck is headed back to rehab for the third time, TMZ reports. 

According to the outlet, the 46-year-old actor is seeking treatment for his alcohol addiction. 

The decision to enter a treatment facility comes after his ex Jennifer Garner was photographed arriving at his home on Wednesday.

A friend of the actor's told PEOPLE, 'He continues to focus on himself and the health of his relationships. He attends meetings, many meetings, and he also does meditation and yoga.'

'While he still has his moments — and let’s be honest, everyone struggles — he continues to work hard on himself.'

Affleck first entered rehab in 2001. In March 2017, Affleck announced he had completed treatment for alcohol addiction for the second time. 

'I have completed treatment for alcohol addiction; something I’ve dealt with in the past and will continue to confront,' he wrote on Facebook at the time.

'I want to live life to the fullest and be the best father I can be. I want my kids to know there is no shame in getting help when you need it, and to be a source of strength for anyone out there who needs help but is afraid to take the first step.

'I’m lucky to have the love of my family and friends, including my co-parent, Jen, who has supported me and cared for our kids as I’ve done the work I set out to do. This was the first of many steps being taken towards a positive recovery.'
