Rehab gives sad update weeks after Tylor Chase video went viral

A rehabilitation facility has issued a sad update weeks after a video of child actor Tylor Chase went viral online.

Chase, 36, is best known for his role as Martin Qwerly in the Nickelodeon TV series Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide from the 2000s, as well as for his appearances in Everybody Hates Chris and the 2007 movie Good Time Max.

Concern for Chase was first sparked after a social media video of him suggesting that he was homeless in Riverside, California, went viral online.

Chase's father has already spoken out, claiming that his son suffers from mental health issues, while Riverside Police Department Public Information Officer Ryan Railsback told the Daily Mail they didn't know how long Chase had been 'experiencing homelessness'.

The Mighty Ducks star Shaun Weiss, who works with a rehab facility called Eleven 11 Recovery, also added: "Tylor has been taken to a facility by a mental health crisis team. He is under the care of Riverside County officials.

"The public outpouring of support came at a very crucial time. He is not well. He requires care beyond the scope of standard detox facilities. He needs weeks to stabilise."

Weiss, who once struggled with homelessness and addiction himself before celebrating two years sober in 2022, became involved after the viral video of Chase surfaced last month (20 December).

Chase was then said to have been receiving urgent medical care in a hospital in Southern California around the festive period.

Tyla reached out to Mike Jordan, from Eleven 11 Recovery, for the latest update on the former child star, to which he replied on Sunday (18 January): "Regarding Tylor Chase, I'm sure you are aware of the recent developments."

Jordan explained that, the last he heard, Chase was 'still on the street and declining support'.

"While some individuals are keeping close tabs on him, Shaun Weiss and I have stepped back slightly," he added.

Jordan continued: "I have offered my treatment services to help, and that offer still stands if Tylor chooses to accept it. We would love to provide him with a full scholarship for treatment at our program, Eleven 11 Recovery, located in South Orange County.

"I have been working in the mental health and addiction space for 13 years, and it is difficult to watch someone's mental health decline as Tylor’s has."

He concluded: "We hope that with the support of those watching over him, he will eventually ask for help. Shaun Weiss also remains a great resource, as he can relate to Tylor’s situation on a personal level."
