  • An insider told RadarOnline: "Tatum made the decision to voluntarily check into rehab after having a relapse about a month ago when she began using cocaine again."
  • But the source is concerned that Tatum's recovery could be hindered as she chose a rehab facility which does not follow a 12-step Alcoholics Anonymous model.
