Richie Sambora feels "great" after his "detox." The Bon Jovi guitarist - who completed a week-long program at the Los Angeles UCLA Medical Center last Wednesday - revealed he sought help because he was "drinking too much." However, he insisted he entered the facility for a "detox" and "did not check into rehab."

He told the "Today" show: "Instead of me heading into a place - I was just drinking too much and I needed to get my life together. I'm still in therapy and stuff like that, but it's good. I'm great. I feel fine."

Frontman Jon Bon Jovi insisted the band fully support Richie and vowed to help him through his troubles.

He said: "We've been through everything together and there was no way that we were not going to be supporting Richie right now - and that's what we're doing. He's been through the fire, and we've been there for him."

It has been a tough couple of months for Sambora. He split from actress Denise Richards in March after dating her for almost a year. In April, the 47-year-old rocker's divorce from Heather Locklear was finalized and his father tragically died of lung cancer on April 21.

Sambora admitted: "It's been a rough year."
