After
announcing last month that he'd be taking time off from his job in Congress to be "as vigilant as possible in my recovery," Rep.
Patrick Kennedy is heading back to work on Capitol Hill.
The Washington Post
reports the son of the ailing Sen. Ted Kennedy has been in a 28-day rehab program in Maryland. "I totally surrendered to my powerlessness over the illness," the Rhode Island Democrat said. "The fact [is], I can't do it by myself and need a higher power to help me."
Kennedy also did a stint in the rehab program at the Mayo Clinic in 2006 for drug and alcohol addition and bipolar disorder. His father continues to undergo treatment in Massachusetts for brain cancer.
