Melanie Griffith has checked into a rehab facility, her rep confirms to Star.
"She is there to reinforce her commitment to stay healthy. This is part of a routine plan that was designed between her and her doctors years ago," Melanie's publicist, Robin Baum, told Star of the actress' stay at Cirque Lodge in Utah.
But an insider tells Star that this stint in rehab is a bid to save her marriage. "She's working with the counselors on getting control of her demons."
The 52-year-old movie star has battled addictions to drugs and booze since she was a teenager and she's had several previous stints in rehab. But her latest fall off the wagon is the last straw for her husband of 13 years, Antonio Banderas.
"The reason Melanie checked in was her husband was demanding that she get clean and sober," another source tells Star. "He told her that if she didn't get the help she needed it would be the end of their marriage."
According to a third source, "Melanie's struggling right now, but Antonio has been checking in on her as much as he is allowed, making sure she gets back on her feet. Without Antonio in her life, I honestly believe Melanie would be dead."

Sounds rough; a drug addict and an alcoholic? Hope she can pull it together for herself.
