Ryan Lochte Says He Completed Rehab, Marks 54 Days Sober

He links the decision to a post-crash spiral, rejecting allegations of drug use near his children.

Overview

  • Lochte announced in an Aug. 29 Instagram video that he finished a rehab program and is 54 days sober.
  • He said depression and isolation after his 2023 Gainesville car crash led him into substance abuse.
  • Lochte stated he checked himself into a Florida recovery center and credited staff with helping him reset.
  • Court filings from estranged wife Kayla Rae Reid detail alleged cocaine baggies and nitrous oxide use; he acknowledges past in-home drug use but denies doing so around his children or driving them while intoxicated.
  • Reid filed for divorce in March and publicly confirmed the split in June, and Lochte previously sought alcohol treatment in 2018.
