Noah Centineo Opens Up About Addiction Journey

Actor Noah Centineo recently shared details about his struggles with substance abuse.

Centineo stated that he recognized destructive patterns in his life and felt he was at a critical crossroads. He believes stopping his substance use at that point prevented the situation from worsening significantly.

He began experimenting with drugs around the time he booked the role of Jesus Foster on 'The Fosters,' influenced by an older partner. Centineo noted that having financial support for his lifestyle initially provided a false sense of security.

Centineo recalled waking up on his 21st birthday seeing a different person, which scared him. While he has worked on maintaining sobriety, especially during demanding projects, he has experienced relapses when taking breaks between work.

He is currently focused on recovery, stating he is back on the "proverbial wagon" and intends to remain so. Centineo acknowledged the privilege of having support systems and resources to address his struggles.
