Alexander To Enter Healing Center

Chad Alexander issued this statement this morning:

To My Family, Friends, Colleagues, and Clients –
I regret to inform you that I will be taking a leave of absence from my personal
and professional obligations for approximately the next 28 days.  I am leaving
immediately for inpatient care at the Sante Center for Healing in Argile, TX.
Over the course of the last several months, due to the pressure of meeting the
demands of my clients at the State Legislature, 15 campaigns, and my duties as a single father, I became personally overwhelmed and started down a path of
dependency on chemical substances in an effort to maintain my workload.  My
dependency on chemical substances unfortunately culminated in my arrest on
Tuesday, May 13th, 2014 in Oklahoma County.  I have hired counsel for my legal
matters and am working with them to aggressively pursue the best possible
outcomes in my case.  What began only a couple of months ago has quickly
escalated to a point that has caused me to carefully re-evaluate myself and I am
committed to making healthy and permanent changes to prevent anything like this
from ever happening again.  I deeply apologize for any embarrassment I have
caused you, as a person in my life who has both trusted and loved me.  Although
my actions over the last few months have not met the standards that I strive so
hard to maintain both personally and professionally, I want you to know that I
am fully committed to dealing with my issues as professionally and proactively
as possible.  My only hope is that at some point in the future you will be
willing to grant me another opportunity to earn your trust and to exhibit to you
the healthy changes that I will be incorporating into my life.  As ashamed as I
am of my decisions and conduct; however, I am both grateful and relieved that
this unsustainable lifestyle has been exposed and that I can begin the process
of seeking out the best help that I can to make sure that this kind of behavior
and these kinds of decisions are behind me once and for all.  For the time
being, and at the advice of my counsel, I will not be at liberty to further
discuss the facts of my arrest and/or case, and I hope that you can respect
that.  On a case-by-case basis, should it become necessary I would be happy to
explore the possibility of more detailed discussions with the advice and consent
of my attorney, Tommy Adler, of Atkins and Markoff Law Firm.
