Edward Furlong recently revealed that he has been sober for four years after a long history of drug abuse and issues with the law. Speaking about his addiction to a news outlet, he said that it started when he was young and didn't have a lot of people looking for him at the time.

Furlong said that he began with weed, alcohol, and shrooms and was introduced to cocaine and heroin in his 20s. He added that he was high, drinking and partying and suddenly felt like he was with people and he fit in somehow.

The actor said that he stopped using heroin after welcoming his first son with Rachael Bella in 2006. However, Bella filed for divorce two years later and Furlong was accused of exposing his son to cocaine. Bella eventually filed a restraining order against Furlong. In 2012, his ex Monica Keena accused him of domestic violence, due to which he was sent to prison for 180 days.

Although he played some important roles in a few movies, his career declined with an increase in drug abuse. He used to consume a lot of heroin, meth, and DMT, and also overdosed once. He revealed about being arrested in 2016 for being under the influence of an illicit substance.

Edward Furlong was reportedly ordered to undergo six months in rehabilitation and was at Wavelengths Recovery in Huntington Beach for a year. Furlong stated that he has a wonderful relationship with his son now and people now like him more.
