Perry, who is best known for playing Chandler Bing on Friends, has always spoken candidly about his past struggles with drugs and alcohol.
In 2015, the Friends alum told the Hollywood Reporter, 'When I was in big trouble, it was so public because I was on a TV show that 30 million people were watching.
'The fact that I [am] on TV makes people listen a little bit more, so I take advantage of that from time to time.'
'I’ve had a lot of ups and downs in my life and a lot of wonderful accolades,' he told The Hollywood Reporter at the time. 'But the best thing about me is that if an alcoholic comes up to me and says, ‘Will you help me stop drinking?’ I will say, ‘Yes. I know how to do that.’'
Perry went on to open a sober-living facility, The Perry House, in Malibu.
Wishing Matthew a speedy recovery!
