Nick Gordon Enters Rehab After Doing Dr. Phil

The troubled boyfriend of comatose Bobbi Kristina Brown was on his way to rehab Thursday after a dangerous drinking binge and surprise intervention involving his mom and Dr. Phil.

“Hopefully he’s in rehab right now. He got in car from the hotel with his mom,” a well-placed source told The News.

“Things got really bad with him,” the source said, referring to boyfriend Nick Gordon. “This was about saving his life.”

Gordon had been drowning his sorrow in dangerous amounts of Jack Daniel’s, and was confronted in his Georgia hotel Thursday morning, sources told The News.

The treatment he’s due to receive would be for suicidal thoughts, alcohol and Xanax, sources said.

It was his mom who approached Dr. Phil about getting Gordon some help, one source said.

“As we sit here right now, my son’s life hangs in the balance,” Michelle says in an excerpt of the dramatic Dr. Phil episode about the intervention set to air March 11.

The worried mom said Gordon was devastated when Whitney Houston died in a Beverly Hills hotel bathtub in February 2012, and that she’s not sure how much more he can take after Bobbi Kristina was found facedown and unresponsive in a tub on Jan. 31.

“When Whitney was found, he administered CPR to her and called me as he was standing in front of her saying, ‘Mom, why couldn’t I do it? I couldn’t get air into her lungs,’” she recalls on the taped segment.

“He won’t let go of the guilt,” she tells Dr. Phil.

A photo released by CBS Television shows Michelle clutching a tissue as she wraps her arms around a distraught looking Gordon on a couch across from Dr. Phil.

The intervention came after Gordon posted an alarming Twitter message hinting that he might harm himself.

“I’m so hurt I wanna do myself in, I know I have to strong,” he tweeted Tuesday.

Gordon lived with Houston and Bobbi Kristina as an adopted son before Houston’s death, and later became engaged to Bobbi Kristina.

He’s been suffering “severe pain, mental anguish and panic attacks” as Bobbi Kristina has remained unresponsive in an Atlanta hospital for five weeks, a press release from CBS Television stated.

As part of the intervention, Dr. Phil offered to help him with his treatment, according to the studio.

Bobbi Kristina turned 22 on Wednesday as relatives continued to pray for her recovery.

"Today is Bobbi Kristina's 22nd birthday, and we ask you to continue to keep her in your prayers as she is still fighting the battle of her life,” her aunt Pat Houston said in a statement posted on Whitney Houston’s website.

Gordon was banished from her bedside at Emory University Hospital after reportedly arguing with relatives.

A lawyer for Bobbi Kristina’s dad Bobby Brown said Gordon would be allowed to return if he gives an honest account of the events leading up to the bathtub incident.

“Obviously Mr. Gordon is not as desperate to visit Bobbi Kristina as he wants the world to believe. At least not desperate enough to inform Bobby Brown, in writing, what happened to Bobbi Kristina,” lawyer Christopher Brown said in a recent statement to The News.

Gordon was at home when the medical crisis started, but it was a friend who found Bobbi Kristina and called 911.

Local police have said they are investigating the matter for possible criminal behavior.
