Todd Chrisley has been very vocal about his son Chase Chrisley’s rehab journey. The Chrisley patriarch revealed his stance on Chase’s sobriety journey in the latest episode of the Chrisley Confessions podcast.

“I’m not going to ever walk away from one of my kids. I’m not going to walk away from Chase when he’s down, when he’s having an issue…I’m not losing my child to anything.”

Todd Chrisley added that he had always held Chase accountable for his actions, and right now, what was important was for his son to continue getting the help he needs.

“In my heart, what I believe is in the best interest of our son is that he’s getting the help that he needs. He’s doing what he’s supposed to be doing. He’s following his program. He’s being held accountable. Is there one thing I have not held him accountable for? Have I not called out the bulls---? Have I not said, ‘This is the plan. This is what you will do. If you step out of it, this will be the consequences?’ I’ve done that.”

Todd Chrisley and Julie confirmed that Chase was doing good.

During the season finale of The Chrisleys: Back to Reality, which aired on Tuesday, September 16, 2025, Chase checked into a rehabilitation center to deal with his alcohol struggles.

This new development came months after the 29-year-old reality star celebrated his one month of sobriety. He wrote on his Instagram in March:

“Almost one month alcohol free, feeling better than I have in years. God is good.”

During the season finale, Chase told his father that he wanted to handle his trauma and find himself again:

“There's a lot of emotions. I just need to go and handle a lot of trauma that I have buried.”

Chase’s father, Todd Chrisley, advised him that his sobriety journey does not define who he is, and his rehab decision marked a new beginning in his life.

“My life's story is not going to be that I went to prison for 28 months. Your life story does not have to be that I had an alcohol and substance abuse problem. That's not your life's story. That's a part. That's a chapter.”
