Tyler Baltierra’s sister Amber revealed over Instagram that she is getting help amid her relationship issues and possible drug use. “These two. They are my rock,” she captioned a photo of her son and daughter. “Mommy loves you two more than you guys may know right now... You both deserve nothing but the best and I will give that to you. I’m gonna miss you these 90 days. Just know I love you both with every fiber in me.”
She continued, “When mom gets home she’s gonna be the best woman I can be and a even better mom. I’ll pray for your comfort and happiness everyday I’m not with you. Show the world your my babies and you guys are strong and can get through anything... because well, you got Baltierra blood and it don’t get stronger than that.”

Amber’s estranged husband Billy Wade Elkins Jr. exclusively told RadarOnline.com, “She’s going to Texas. She leaves Friday.” Her father Butch also confirmed to RadarOnline.com that his daughter is entering rehab.
Although is it unclear exactly why she is entering treatment, a family insider believes her intentions may not be to get help. “She's just irresponsible, immature, so maybe it'll get her act together,” the insider said. “I think it's an excuse to ditch her responsibility as an adult. Not to really get any help. I'd be very surprised if she came out changed for the better. Amber in my opinion is only going to therapy for attention and what it does for the show.”
The rehab stint comes after viewers accused Amber of being "on drugs" during last season’s Teen Mom OG. Fans tweeted that she appeared “strung out." Butch even expressed his concern. “Your sister got me really kind of worried,” he told Tyler. “She’s living with me so I see a whole lot nobody else sees.”
Amber has been arrested on drug-related charges in the past. In an incident report obtained from Marine City Police Department, Amber was arrested for drug/narcotic equipment on April 10, 2013. “I observed a woman’s purse on the front seat and I could see a glass smoking pipe in the cup holder on the center console,” the reporting officer wrote. “I made contact with the driver and immediately I could smell a strong odor of burnt Marijuana." He added, "We only located a black Marijuana smoking pipe under the front passenger seat. The pipe had residue in it that appeared to have just been used."
She told officers that she hadn’t smoked weed since the weekend before. She was arrested for drug paraphernalia and driving on a restricted license. Her bond was set at $500 at the time of her arrest. She pled guilty and was sentenced to 20 days in jail.

Amber is also dealing with relationship issues, as her estranged husband Billy accused her of cheating on him over social media. “Currently single and ready to not f**king mingle with nobody cause every dude be on that MF bulls**t,” she posted on Instagram over the weekend. He confirmed to RadarOnline.com that they are no longer together.
Amber’s sister-in-law Catelynn Lowell entered treatment on November 17 and then again on January 17 after experiencing suicidal thoughts following a miscarriage. Amber’s father Butch, who has a history of substance abuse issues, recently checked out of a Texas treatment center. Amber did not respond to RadarOnline.com's request for comment.
