OK! previously reported that after the 13: The Musical actor lost nearly 127 pounds, his drug and alcohol use began taking a major toll on his life. “It became clear that once I lost the weight that I was the same head in a new body," Peck said earlier this year.

Peck knew that once his substance abuse began to take a toll on his career, it was time to seek help. “I had worked so hard for this thing, and I was getting very close to losing it,” he noted.
