Houston is no longer living under the watchful
eye of a drug rehab chaperone, reports PEOPLE.
"She successfully completed the 30-day
treatment program and she is now in an
aftercare program, the specific terms of which
are confidential," said Houston's Atlanta
attorney, Mark Trigg.
Houston, 40, entered what was reported to have
been a one-month program in early March, but
after five days checked out of the center
(whose location was never disclosed but
believed to have been in the Midwest).
"Miss Houston is continuing the
prescribed treatment as was planned," her
publicist, Nancy Seltzer, told New York's
Daily News at the time. "Her movements
are in total keeping with the program."
Once she left the center, Houston reportedly
moved into a rented residence near her own
suburban Atlanta home.
Last week, Houston's husband, R&B singer
Bobby Brown, 35, was ordered to stand trial on
misdemeanor battery charges that he allegedly
hit his wife in the face at their home near
Alpharetta, Ga., in December, leaving her with
a bruised cheek and a cut inside her lip.
In a recent interview on Dateline NBC, Brown
described the domestic incident as a
"little spat" while the two were
playfully "slap boxing" but that
Houston took one of his jabs a "little
serious."
At last Wednesday's hearing, Brown and Houston
exchanged smiles and left the courtroom
arm-in-arm. They made no comment to reporters
waiting outside.
