Chris Brown Leaves Rehab Facility For Outpatient Help
Chris Brown checked into a rehabilitation center last month to work on his anger management issues but now he has decided to leave a live in facility to be treated in an outpatient setting.
Brown, the 24-year-old singer-songwriter, was taken to a rehabilitation center by his longtime lawyer Mark Geragos, one day after being released from a Washington D.C. jail where he spent 36 hours last month. The singer was arrested after he was accused of breaking the nose of Parker Isaac Adams, 20, who allegedly attempted to sneak into a photograph that Brown was taking with two women, according to E! News reports.
