Dennis Rodman checked into an alcohol rehab center Wednesday following his DUI arrest over the weekend, his agent, Darren Prince, told The Associated Press.

The Hall of Famer is addressing his longtime struggle with alcoholism at Turning Point Rehabilitation Center in New Jersey.

Rodman, 56, was pulled over for a traffic violation Saturday in Southern California, and was arrested on suspicion of DUI after failing field sobriety and Breathalyzer tests.

The five-time champion previously spent three weeks at the same facility in a bid to "decompress" from his 2014 trip to North Korea. During that trip, he organized a basketball game featuring retired NBA players for leader Kim Jong Un's birthday.
