Shooting of Charlie Sheen's sitcom, Two and a Half Men, was previously suspended when Sheen entered rehab for two weeks in late February. Having previously sought treatment for substance abuse, the latest visit to rehab was described by Sheen's reps as "preventative".

Prior to that, Charlie Sheen's ad campaign with Hanes was dropped due to negative publicity surrounding the star, who is the highest-paid actor on television.

Charlie Sheen is returning to work on Two and a Half Men on March 19, but will spending nights in rehab.

Brooke Mueller had also entered rehab for substance abuse problems. With both parents in rehab, Charlie Sheen's and Brooke Mueller's kids are looked after by their nannies.
