Sandra, 45, is said to have visited the facility around 10 years ago to research her role as an alcoholic newspaper columnist in the film ‘28 Days’. It costs between $40,000 to $64,000 a month to be treated at the centre – where a host of famous faces have allegedly been treated including Michael Douglas, Whitney Houston and Nicole Richie – which is located on 160-acre grounds.
Meanwhile, Sandra ventured out this week to visit a friend.
The Oscar-winning actress was spotted at the Beverly Hills home of Gabriel Brener – the head of private investment firm Brener International Group, LLC – on Wednesday (31.03.10). A friend of ‘The Blind Side’ star told People.com: “She’s not there on business. They’ve been friends for decades. She spends a lot of time at his house.” Gabriel and his family were guests at Sandra and Jesse’s wedding and the Hollywood beauty has holidayed with the family on several occasions.
