Former Colorado Rockies first baseman Todd Helton has entered a treatment facility, according to the Knoxville News Sentinel's Hayes Hickman.
Hickman reported Helton was cited for driving under the influence on March 18, when he drove his truck into a telephone pole. His attorney, Stephen Ross Johnson, released a statement about his decision to start treatment.
"Todd is currently in a residential treatment program outside of East Tennessee, receiving the care he needs," Johnson said. "He realizes there are parts of his behavior that need to change, and he is focused on doing just that.
