No Church Or Caroling! The Duggars Visit Josh In Rehab For Christmas
Dec. 28 2015, Updated 8:52 p.m. ET
Instead of spending Christmas at home in Arkansas, the Duggar family had a very unusual holiday— visiting disgraced son Josh in rehab!
According to Flight Aware, the family's private plane flew from their native Springdale to Rockford, Illinois, on Christmas Eve, landing just after 8 pm. (Josh's rehab center, Reformers Unanimous, is located in the Midwest city, about two hours west of Chicago.)
A local website, The Rockford Scanner, reported that Josh's 25-year-old brother, John David Duggar, a trained pilot, and an unidentified woman with "wavy hair" snuck into a white van at the airport upon landing.
The Duggar women are famous for their long, thick curly locks, so it's possible that Josh's wife long-suffering wife Anna, 28, or mother Michelle, 49, accompanied John David.
The plane left the airport and headed back for Springdale on Christmas night, about 24 hours later.
As RadarOnline.com exclusively reported, Reformers Unanimous insiders claimed patients, including the 27-year-old father of four, would spend the holiday attending church services and recovery meetings.
The insider also added that many patients in good standing with the center would be allowed to receive visitors.
The failed "family values" activist has been receiving treatment at the Bible-based facility since August, when he confessed to cheating on Anna and harboring a secret porn addiction.
News site Gawker revealed that the married dad was a secret member of affair-seeking website Ashley Madison just days prior to the shocking announcement.
According to the rehab's rules, patients must complete a six-month program— meaning Josh should be eligible for release in late February.
