Fresh from completing his rehab stint for alcohol abuse, Jon Hamm opened up about the process he had to deal with.

The "Million Dollar Arm" actor spent 30 days at Silver Hill Hospital in New Canaan, Connecticut, reported Ace Showbiz.

"Life throws a lot at you sometimes and you have to deal with it as much as you can. That's why you have family and friends and co-workers to help you with that," he said.

"I've been very fortunate that throughout the most recent 24 hour period, I've had a lot of family and friends support me. I guess that's all I will say about that," he added.
 

When asked whether his recent rehab stint was the result of playing dark characters for long periods of time, the 44-year-old actor said, "Obviously there can be a lot of discussion about how much of this is related to that and honestly I don't have much to say about that either.

"I've said in varying ways that acting can be a difficult endeavour, certainly not as difficult as the recent example I used of being a baby heart surgeon. But, it does present its own challenges and so does life.
