The GreeneStone Clinic Muskoka, located in cottage county some 200 km (125 miles) north of Toronto, issued a statement asking the public and media respect its patients' privacy.

Ford and his family had not immediately disclosed where he would be seeking treatment. The clinic said on Friday it was releasing the information with Ford's consent.

Earlier this month he told a Toronto newspaper that rehab was "amazing". [ID:nL2N0NT1CE]
