The Hills star Jason Wahler is in rehab, a family member tells PEOPLE exclusively.

“Jason’s in rehab, and he’s getting help,” said the relative, who declined to give her name.

“He’s doing well, and he’s going to be a new man,” she added. “There was a deal made [with prosecutors].”

Wahler, 20, was due to surrender at Los Angeles County jail last week to serve a 60-day sentence for a September 2006 assault case, but a judge delayed that in lieu of rehab.

“His jail sentence has been suspended for now,” says L.A. City Attorney spokesman Frank Mateljan. “But we’ll be informing the court of Wahler’s latest arrest in Seattle at his next progress report hearing on June 8.”
