Los Angeles – Eva Mendes has checked into Utah’s Cirque Lodge, the substance abuse treatment centre where Lindsay Lohan recently completed a rehabiliatory stint.

The Hitch actress’ rep confirmed that Mendes has been seeking treatment for the last several weeks for a substance abuse problem.

“Eva has been working hard for the past year and made a positive decision to take some much-needed time off to pro-actively attend to some personal issues that, while not critical, she felt deserved some outside professional support,” a representative for Mendes told People magazine.

“Out of respect for Eva’s privacy, we do not wish to discuss further details.”
