The main reason why Shannon’s family members have an estranged relationship with each other is drugs. She ruined her kids’ childhood just for her addictions. Intially, Mama June even had to get behind bars because of drug possession and ended up losing her daughter, Alana’s custody. Though she claims that she has been clean for years, her family has another drug addict now. Recently, a source revealed that Honey Boo Boo’s biological father, Sugar Bear, is dealing with addiction, too. Hence, he has decided to seek professional help and will soon check into rehab as well. Is it true?
Mama June: Sugar Bear Is Preparing To Check Into A Rehab & Seek Professional Help
Mama June star Sugar Bear has been living a lowkey life these days. He perhaps shares an estranged relationship with Alana, as he wasn’t even present for her graduation. Amid all this, viewers started to wonder where the celeb has been after getting a super expensive makeover last year. But they weren’t aware that Sugar Bear was actually struggling with his addiction all this while. Apparently, he ended up getting obsessed with the prescription drugs that he got during his diabetes treatment. The patriarch not only became a pill addict but also got severe depression and anxiety.
Intially, Sugar Bear was trying to deal with the mess on his own. But soon, he realized that seeking professional help was the only option for him. Hence, the celeb first reached out to former NBA star Lamar Odom for help. A source recently revealed to TMZ that now Sugar Bear would be checking in at one of the latter’s rehab centers in Kansas on Thursday and would try to deal with his addiction and sober up. Apparently, it seems that the Mama June celeb would have to pay around $629 if he is a non-insured patient. But if he has insurance, then it would cost him about $125 per day, which is based on average insurance coverage for a 30-day stay.
Mama June: How Will Sugar Bear’s Addiction Affect Alana’s Life?
Mama June fans have always sympathized with Honey Boo Boo. They saw how she struggled to accept her parents’ love and how her childhood was actually ruined just because her mother was a drug addict. However, her life smoothened a bit when she started living with her sister, Pumpkin. The latter took care of her, and now Alana has already graduated and is headed to college now. Indeed, things were getting better in her life as Shannon was no longer an addict, and she was about to pursue her higher studies and become a nurse.
But now Alana has to deal with her father’s pill addiction, anxiety, and depression. She again has to undergo all the trauma she has been trying to overcome for years. This made the viewers wonder how the star kid would deal with this. But it seems that Honey Boo Boo won’t have to face much. Apparently, she already has an estranged relationship with Sugar Bear and used to talk to him once a month. Hence, there is a fair chance his addiction won’t hinder her growth.
