"OCTOMOM" Nadya Suleman has checked herself into a rehabilitation center, citing anxiety, exhaustion and stress.
The mother of 14 had been taking the medication Xanax under a doctor's care to deal with her problems, but she felt she needed a treatment program to help with her recovery, her spokeswoman Gina Rodriguez said.
Suleman checked herself into the Chapman House Treatment Center on October 23 and "will be in treatment for 28 days or more if needed," Rodriguez said.
Meanwhile, three nannies and two of Suleman's friends will care for her octuplets, who will be 4 years old in January, and her six older kids.
A driver will take the kids to and from school, and their Palmdale home in the Mojave Desert has around-the-clock security, Rodriguez said.
Suleman has repeatedly been investigated by social services over allegations of neglect and child abuse. Prosecutors decided not to file charges earlier this month following the most recent allegations. Rodriguez said the woman who made the allegations was obsessed with Suleman's children.
All 14 of Suleman's children were conceived through in vitro fertility treatments. Her octuplets are the world's longest-surviving set.
