Kim Richards -- I Checked Myself Into Rehab

Z STAFF

EXCLUSIVE

Kim Richards had an ah-ha moment a few days ago … she needed help, so she made the decision on her own to check into rehab.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ, Kim is in a live-in facility in Malibu which specializes in substance abuse. We’re told she made the decision after consulting with family.

As we reported … the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star was arrested 9 days ago at the Beverly Hills Hotel after allegedly causing a scene while heavily intoxicated. She was booked for trespass, resisting arrest, battery on a police officer, and public drunkenness.

We’re told she will stay at the rehab facility “as long as it takes.”
