Affleck, 44, said on his Facebook page that his treatment was
the "first of many steps" toward his recovery and specifically
thanked his "co-parent," wife Jennifer Garner, whom he separated
from in 2015.
"I have completed treatment for alcohol addiction; something
I've dealt with in the past and will continue to confront," the
"Batman" actor wrote.
"I want my kids to know there is no shame in getting help when
you need it, and to be a source of strength for anyone out there
who needs help but is afraid to take the first step," he added.
Hollywood A-list couple Affleck and Garner, who have three
children together, announced plans to divorce in July 2015 after
10 years of marriage.
Affleck, who has won two Oscars for his writing and producing
work, will next be seen reprising the titular superhero role in
"The Batman" movie.
