As reported by Jesse Paul of the Denver Post, Ty Lawson will be spending the next 30 days in a rehab facility in California and will undergo court-ordered alcohol monitoring at completion of his rehab.
Lawson appeared in Denver court Friday, an appearance stemming from his January arrest on suspicion of DUI following a team charity event. According to Paul, much of today’s proceedings included discussion about Lawson’s most recent arrest, which occurred earlier this week in Los Angeles under the same charge.
Lawson will be heading to Cliffside, a luxury drug and rehab center in Malibu, tomorrow, city prosecutors say. He'll be there for 30 days.

From the facility’s website, Cliffside offers “a guarantee that if the client completes all 3 levels of care at our facility and follows our aftercare recommendations, but has a relapse prior to obtaining one full year of sobriety, then Cliffside Malibu will take the client back into our 30 day Primary Care program free of charge.”
The site proudly advertises that the facility has been featured in such media as CNN, Forbes, The New York Times, CBS, ABC, The Guardian, NBC, ET! and others.
According to thefix.com, a private room at Cliffside Malibu went for $78,000 in 2012.
