Tara Reid checked into rehab because she was "sad and conflicted".

The 33-year-old actress recently completed a 60-day stay at Malibu's Promises rehab centre - where Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears have previously been treated - for substance abuse, and insists the move was the "greatest decision" she has ever made.

Before I used to think about tomorrow and I hated it

She said: "I didn't like the person I was. I was sad and conflicted.

"Some people get forced to be in rehab. I went there by myself. I put myself there. It was the greatest decision I ever made."

Tara insists checking into the facility was one of the toughest times she has ever been through, but is delighted with the effect the treatment had on her.

She added to In Touch Weekly magazine: "The hardest thing was walking through the door for the first time - finally admitting that I had a problem. I had been in such denial.

"Rehab saved my life. Before I used to think about tomorrow and I hated it. Now I can't wait because I am clean and sober and I am excited."
