Sheen’s wife Brooke Mueller is also in rehab.
Sheen and Mueller were both boozing before she called police at 8:34 am Christmas and said he held a knife to her throat and threatened to kill her. They both had alcohol in their bodies but Sheen has refused to admit he had a problem.
Mueller and Sheen had been out the night before and Sheen had a “sober coach” with him when he started drinking! The reason he had a sober coach, RadarOnline.com learned exclusively, is that he had already relapsed into boozing and family and friends had confronted him.
When RadarOnline.com reported on February 17 that Charlie was being told to go to rehab by people close to him Team Sheen loudly denied it, even stating: “He is not going to rehab.”

But those denials were issued simply because Charlie was in denial, a source close to the situation told RadarOnline.com. “He wouldn’t go into rehab even though it was obvious he needed to,” the source said.
Team Sheen also has to be very careful because an order by the Colorado judge overseeing Charlie’s domestic violence case prohibits him from drinking alcohol.
