While we’re still hoping that Bobbi Kristina makes it through her coma with no additional severities, there is a silver lining in a string of dark clouds. During his disorderly interview with Dr. Phil, Nick Gordon and his mother admitted that he was battling depression (due to the state of Bobbi K.), an addiction to alcohol and drugs as well as failing health. Dr. Phil was able to get the young man into a rehabilitation center where sources are now saying that he is “responding well” to “treatment with no relapses.”

Apparently, the limelight exposure is also what forced him into a depressive state, but the “quiet time is good for him. He needed it.”

The source tells PEOPLE:

“Nick is a special person with many temptations and needs to be in a place where he can continue to heal and grow,” the source said. “He should stay for a long time — as long as he will allow.”

“The best thing for Nick is that he is out of the way, out of the limelight,” the source added. “This way he can continue the process to improve himself and move forward in a better life. It is a blessing that he is in rehab.”

If he can get through this, it will serve him all the good in the world. Maybe, just maybe this will help Gordon and the Browns to get along a little bit better.
