In his time of need, Ben turned to Jennifer, RadarOnline.com has learned. Despite everything they've been through, "from the smoking to drinking and gambling, Jen has always been the person who can get through to him," said a source.

Ben told her everything that was going on with his life," added the insider. "He was devastated but knew he had to change."

Casey and Jennifer reportedly found Ben a rehab center in Los Angeles, so he could continue working and spending time with his family. He checked out of the overnight rehab institution after five days and is currently attending a Buddhist meditation center called Against the Stream. He makes weekly visits and is feeling stronger than ever.
