In May, the skateboarder celebrated ‘one year of treatment’ for drug and alcohol abuse at a Boca Raton facility and planned on attending outpatient treatment classes for the next two months.<\/p>\n

Just a few weeks later, his troubles began. <\/p>\n

Bam went missing on June 13 and was found days later in a hotel by Sheriff’s deputies and a crisis intervention team.<\/p>\n

The reality star claimed that he left the treatment center because of concern for his 4-year-old son Phoenix Wolf. <\/p>\n

The reality star alleged that he was being kept from his son and worried that he would not be able to raise him if he was in rehab.<\/p>\n

Bam has reportedly been estranged from his wife Nikki Boyd, who allegedly hasn’t made attempts to contact him since he has been in rehab.<\/p>\n

A broken wrist, suicidal thoughts and a war with the creators of Jackass have all plagued the troubled skateboarder throughout these last few years. <\/p>\n
