She had posted at the beginning of the year that she “took her relapse public” but then deleted the tweets she had shared on X, People magazine reported.
The “American Pie” actress had been clean for a decade, according to US Weekly.
Lyonne has been open about her battles with substances, telling Entertainment Weekly in 2012 that “Spiraling into addiction is really, really scary.”
“Some things have a very A-to-B scientific effect. Like, alcohol is a depressant. Cocaine is a stimulant. And then: Cocaine plus heroin is bad! That’s the point of my story, that’s the moral,” she said at the time.
She also had been arrested on suspicion of DUI and had to undergo court-ordered rehab, Entertainment Weekly reported.
