“Scott knows he needs help,” a source tells ‘In Touch.’ “But being paid for it is probably what motivated him the most.”

It’s not Scott’s first time at the facility — ‘In Touch’ exclusively reported that he was there in February, but fled after one day. “It’s a learning process for some people,” Johnston tells ‘In Touch.’
