After two rehab breaks, actor and former skateboarder Bam Margera decided to take his journey to recovery more seriously than ever. He agreed to return to rehab to complete his treatment. Margera has previously revealed his addiction to drugs and alcohol.
Even though the former “Jackass” actor is now taking his health seriously, things haven’t been that easy for him. Rehabilitation rules are now stricter to prevent him from escaping a third time. According to new reports, the rules have been reviewed by judges and changed accordingly. Margera is no longer in an indoor facility, as the Judge believes that this is one of the reasons he escaped the last two times.

The star made several headlines regarding his drug and alcohol abuse in the first half of 2022. Some of them were about his role in the comedy/action film “Jackass Forever,” which was released on February 4.
The actor who previously starred in other “Jackass” films is slated to reprise his role in the new film. However, he was allegedly kicked out of the main cast after failing several sobriety tests.
The judge later enforced stricter rules on Margera. He is now required to continue seeing a court-appointed psychiatrist, attend class, and remain sober. While the second rehab break attracted a lot of attention, the first was very difficult for his family and loved ones.

Per TMZ, Margera’s parents and other family members joined the team to ask the “CKY2K” star to cooperate with the police. Margera is reportedly planning to leave the state to escape rehab. However, his family convinced him to finish his treatment before leaving.
As they helped him back into rehab, sources close to him said TMZ confirmed that he had been “shut down” by his wife, Nicole Boyd, and their son. He also insisted on meeting them, but the police refused and told him to finish his treatment. The star then “voluntarily agreed” to check into another facility.
What Bam Margera Does
Margera officially began the court order program this week, according to TMZ. Although he has completed a year of therapy and substance abuse treatment, he still has a long way to go on his journey to recovery.
During an episode of the “Steve O podcast” in May, the star talked about being fired from the production of “Jackass Forever.” First, she revealed that she was excited to complete a year of substance abuse treatment and “never felt better.”
He later explained that he didn’t care that the “Jackass” team kicked him out because it was all “meant for a reason.” He also revealed that he was “better off without her” and did not want to be a part of the film. “I didn’t want to do it at first.”
