Adrian Rodriguez returns to rehab and touches with intimate message about his struggle with drugs

Adrián Rodríguez, known since his childhood for Menudas estrellas and later for his role as DVD in Los Serrano, has once again opened up to his followers to announce that he has returned to rehab. The career of the Catalan performer, who rose to fame when he was just a child, has been marked by a constant struggle with drugs, which he himself has recounted on several occasions.

Throughout his career, the actor has acknowledged that early fame, money and media pressure had a devastating effect on him. In February, on the Fiesta program, he explained: “I was too young to handle the craziness of fame, money and so on”. He also confessed then how his addictions had been pushing him away from his professional path: “As you grow up you take a path that you shouldn’t take and it’s very difficult to get out of. My acting career went askew as I started to stray from the right path.” Nine months later, he has again admitted publicly that he needs help.

A relapse that he himself makes visible: “It has all been part of my illness”.

On Sunday, November 9, Adrián Rodríguez used his social networks to communicate that he was resuming a more intense rehabilitation treatment. In a very personal message, he acknowledged that his last few months had not been as positive as they seemed. He wrote: “After several months believing that I am better and other projects that I wanted to carry out… I have to admit that everything has been part of my illness”.

• Paris Jackson is moved to reveal the physical after-effects of her drug addiction: “I can pass a spaghetti through my nose”.

In that same statement, he added one of the most striking phrases of his testimony: “And the little light that I still have left inside me has returned to enlighten me to return to treatment”. The actor, who participated in Supervivientes in 2018 and left after less than 20 days because of his addictions, already explained then that that experience made him realize that his situation was untenable.

A temporary withdrawal with no return date: “There is no see you soon”.

In this new message, the performer asks for understanding and warns that this time he is not setting any deadlines. His absolute priority is rehabilitation: “There is no see you soon… I will only come back when I am really well and strong. This is to obey and do the right things every day, so I thank everyone and above all apologize to all the people to whom I have caused debts or any other inconvenience”.

Before finishing, he warns that he will be isolated during the process: “I will be completely incommunicado. Thank you and a big kiss”.

A difficult road: studies, relapses and new beginnings

In recent years, Adrián Rodríguez had shared some personal milestones, such as obtaining his first official academic degree to work as a monitor in drug dependency centers and supervised apartments. In November 2024 he confessed that he did it because he knew very well the suffering of families: “I decided to become a family interventionist because I know how hard it is for families like mine… and how hard it was for my mother, especially”.

In February, he again spoke openly about how it all began: “At first you take it as a game, like a child who starts to try things, to experience life. In the end it becomes a dependency to have a good time,” he told Fiesta. He added: “You realize you can’t go on with this kind of life because you’re suffering while you’re doing it. I asked for help and I’m still doing it.

Although his facet as an actor has been on hold for some time, he has tried to build a new artistic path under the name El Hispano. In 2021 he released Pa’Que and this September he released a new song on Instagram. However, with this new entry into rehab, he has made it clear that music is also on hiatus until he is recovered.
