Thanks for the info Ofan, I am so glad that Owen is doing much better than expected. I think Owens family is awesome and I'm sure with his family around him he is sure to recover.

Here is what I found out last night from the woman who provided the information for the post yesterday. When I spoke to her last night she had just returned from Owen's hospital. After getting past the security check, she was met by much of the Wilson clan who didn't let her in to see Owen but told her that he was doing much better than expected and that he would call her soon. They told her Owen had seen a couple of friends earlier in the day, but didn't want to see anymore for awhile. She said the whole family was so nice to her that she was halfway home before she realized she had been passed through what amounted to a receiving line of family members. As each friend was greeted, they were passed from one family member to another until there was no real alternative but to leave, but the family was so kind to all the friends that it didn't matter. She kept emphasizing how nice the family was, and that they were doing the comforting and sympathy rather than the other way around. from - www.crazydaysandnights.net/Thats cool. I'm sure it makes a big difference to have such a supportive family, not everyone is so lucky to have that... you've got to count your blessings!

Me too, I was worried when I read this:- www.digitalspy.co.uk/showbiz/a74426/luke-wilson-breaks-down-over-brother.htmltoo sad there's another article on Digital Spy saying how Courtney Love blamed Steve Coogan for the drug binge or whatever but I don't know if people think thats too much of a rumour so I figure I maybe shouldn't post that one, you can find it if you want a look though, just click on index and search through. I don't like to post speculative stuff if it'll cause arguments and so on.

Owen Wilson May Have Left Hospital for Rehab
“Extra” is hearing that Owen Wilson may have left the hospital for rehab.
His reps won’t comment, but rumors are swirling that Owen may have left Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for a treatment facility.
As Owen, friends and family focus on treatment, a firestorm is raging between Courtney Love and British actor and alleged partier Steve Coogan.
Love told Us Weekly that Coogan influenced Owen in all the wrong ways.
Coogan is already feeling the backlash – the normally under-the-radar star was hammered by the paparazzi as he arrived at LAX airport last night.
Courtney is standing by her claims, saying, “If someone wants to do drugs they can do drugs… I don't care. But when it starts to get to a place where it hurts human beings and it hurts other people and it hurts people around them, and the numbers are astonishing of who it hurts.”
Today “Extra” is shedding new light on the night Owen hit rock bottom.
A lawyer for Owen claims the only drugs in his system were prescription anti-depressants.
In addition, “Extra” has learned there were two emergency calls made from Owen’s Santa Monica home.
The second, after Owen was rushed to the hospital, was apparently to report the paparazzi crush that was already forming around his Santa Monica home.
The City of Santa Monica will not release the original 911 call, saying, “The information contained on the recording appears to be protected by Mr. Wilson’s right to privacy.”
Legendary celebrity doc, Dr. Drew Pinsky, says Owen, who is rumored to have struggled with a heroin addiction, was lucky his brother Luke made that call.
“Heroin addiction, opiate addiction, is a horrible prognosis,” Drew told “Extra.” “If people don't take the necessary treatment, they die.”
Dr. Pinsky said the only chance Owen has is to stop working and focus on getting better.
He continued, “I would say you have to spend at least six to eight weeks in a highly structured environment – a treatment center – and then three to nine months in a sober living of some type.”

Thanks for the info Ofan. I'm sure that his family and doctors are already looking at what will happen when he leaves hospital and forming some strategies to avoid the craparazzi. I have hope that Owen will recover (I doubt Laura Wilson will stand for anything less) and his family will pull him through.

I have hope that Owen will recover (I doubt Laura Wilson will stand for anything less) and his family will pull him through. I'm sure that's true, OCW. It's already been reported by two sources that Owen has already left Cedars-Sinai. I hope that's true because, if it is, it means: (a) Owen is well enough to be discharged, and (b) Owen escaped the craparazzi by leaving without their taking notice of it. (I had awful visions of him leaving, jumping into a vehicle amidst a frenzy of photogs with his hands covering his face, poor thing). If he has left, he's probably already secreted away in a rehab somewhere. I hope and pray they are able to help him.

Well, I work in healthcare and though I don't work in psychiatric units, I know a bit of what will be the standard procedure. Usually what will happen is if there is a suicide attempt and the patient is seen as a "danger to himself or others," they get him stabilized for 72 hours in the hospital. After this, the patient is transferred to a psychiatric facility --not necessarily strictly rehab.
As I've said before, IF there are issues of drug addiction, often this is due to the patient to a large extent "self medicating." More than likely, if he goes into a good neuropsychiatric hospital, he will be treated for the underlying condition PLUS the drug habit. He should be in there for several months. And rehabilitation takes years. For instance, a heroin addict is not considered "clear and clean" until he's been clean for 7 years. That's right, relapses often happen and it takes that long.
I've read enough about his teen years to understand that there were always "issues" with Owen. I think he's been "on the edge" for a very long time, and that as long as he could work and bring in the bucks, it was enough for everyone to put them in the back seat. But I do think he was struggling --I've read his words in interviews. I'm deeply sorry that his issues ever derailed this far.
You know, I have to say that I think it was well intentioned but it was also a bit odd for that girl (his "friend") to slip past security then try to see Owen. I am GRATEFUL his family intercepted forming a firm but gracious line. Anyone who blabs what happens on the internet, really isn't much of a "Friend" at all. I don't think he needs more drama, hysteria from "friends" like the one described, he just needs professionals, his family and to basically tell the Hollywood machinery to bug off.

Hi callie, some of us were talking about this on another Wilsons board too. I completely and totally agree with you, and with other members of the other board who criticized the "friend" who showed up at the hospital. It was wrong for them to go and bother the family at that time. It was awful of that so called friend to go to a blogger with any of it, any of it. Here is what I really hope deep down: I hope the family knew she was a no good false friend, they gave her whatever specifics they wanted the press to have because they knew she would go and do that. I can't imagine having the priviledge of knowing someone like Owen and his family (and being able to work on their movies!) and then going and doing sh*t like that. She must be a ridiculous person, and hopefully a person who is soon to be out of the family circle. I was amazed at how calm and cool the family was in dealing with these people showing up at the hospital, but I was also hoping underneath it all that they knew who would be a good friend and who wouldn't be a good friend. On a related note, when you see the new Ted Casablancas column, some alleged "amiga" of both Ted and Owen from Dallas is cited as a source. I can't believe some woman in Dallas who claims to be Owen's friend would talk about him to a gossip columnist. With friends like that, who needs enemies. Well, I work in healthcare and though I don't work in psychiatric units, I know a bit of what will be the standard procedure. Usually what will happen is if there is a suicide attempt and the patient is seen as a "danger to himself or others," they get him stabilized for 72 hours in the hospital.

Wherever Owen is - rehab or psych facility - I'm glad the institution is unknown to anyone. Maybe that way he can finally get the peace and anonymity he's been requesting.
As for the "friend," we don't know if anything she posted is true. She might have fabricated the story about knowing Owen and his family and visiting them. Knowing just a teeny bit about the Wilson family like I do (and I only know what everyone else knows), the way she described them - their kindness - sounded plausible. But, of course, we don't know if any of it is true or if any of it actually took place. As you point out, anyone who knows the Wilsons well enough to be with them at such a time wouldn't write about it - just more evidence this blogger is writing "creatively." Bloggers have pretended to be Owen so why not someone pretending to know the family? Just my theory.
I agree with callie that, reading between the lines imaginatively, Owen seems to have been acting erratically this summer (and probably had been for longer). Maybe that's why I'd been so worried about him.
