“Brooke is doing great,” he told RadarOnline.com exclusively. “Brooke is getting massages daily at Two Dreams Outer Banks in North Carolina and even played tennis with her mother while she was visiting." Her mother Moira Fiore left the facility on Sunday night.
“She is starting to heal herself,” he added. “She is feeling so much better, so much stronger.”
Fiore denied that Mueller is there for substance abuse issues, saying she just needed to recuperate from the stress resulting in the fallout of her Christmas altercation with husband Charlie Sheen.
"She is just there to heal herself from all the stress. There really wasn’t any kind of drugs involved. Her body was in turmoil and she had a lot of stress, so she went there to rest and get away from everything.”

Despite Fiore’s claim that Brooke is not at the facility to treat any drug or alcohol dependency issues, multiple sources have confirmed to RadarOnline.com that Brooke is in fact undergoing treatment for that very reason. Sources say that it was her immediate need for treatment that prompted Brooke to make the flight across country to the facility, something that was potentially very dangerous as she was in the midst of recovering from a bout of pneumonia.
Brooke has been struggling with her addictions again of late, as RadarOnline.com previously reported she was drunk at 8.30 am Christmas day, after a night of hard partying, when cops where called to her Aspen home following a domestic altercation with Charlie.
In addition, as RadarOnline.com exclusively reported friends of Mueller’s even tried to bring her drugs during her recent hospital stay, where she was battling a serious infection following oral surgery.
Fiore says that although Brooke is doing well, one thing she is struggling with is being away from her one-year old twin boys Max and Bob.
“She misses the kids terribly,” Fiore said, adding that Brooke has spoken with her kids over the phone.
"We expect her to leave in a week. Everything is on schedule for the hearing."
