BREAKING: Josh Duggar Checks Into Long-Term Treatment Facility

Continuing the long saga of Josh Duggar, it appears he has now checked into a long-term treatment facility following the most recent revelations that he had an Ashley Madison account. The following statement was just released by the Duggar family on their official blog:

“We are so thankful for the outpouring of love, care and prayers for our family during this most difficult situation with Josh. As parents we are so deeply grieved by our son’s decisions and actions. His wrong choices have deeply hurt his precious wife and children and have negatively affected so many others. He has also brought great insult to the values and faith we hold dear. Yesterday Josh checked himself into a long-term treatment center. For him it will be a long journey toward wholeness and recovery. We pray that in this he comes to complete repentance and sincere change. In the meantime, we will be offering our love, care and devoted support to Anna and our grandchildren as she also receives counsel and help for her own heart and future. During this time we continue to look to God—He is our rock and comfort. We ask for your continued prayers for our entire family.”

There’s no word regarding which treatment facility he has checked into, or what their philosophy is, but I certainly hope and pray it is a legitimate treatment facility that can help him begin the long process of sorting out his issues.

In the meantime, I will be praying alongside the Duggar family that Josh will come to “sincere change.” More so however, I will be particularly praying for Anna and that she would not be isolated and filled with the potential fundamentalist counsel that would put her at future risk of harm.
