Beador is enrolled in an “outpatient behavioral wellness program with an alcohol component,” insiders close to Beador said TMZ on Monday.

Beador — who was arrested in the early morning hours of September 17 — will continue to perform alongside her RHOC co-stars Tamra Judge, 56, and Vicki Gunvalson, 61, in their Tres Amigas comedy shows, which involve alcohol.

Beador will refrain from “drinking on stage” during the shows, including a pre-show cocktail party, the insider said.

The next Tres Amigas show is scheduled for November 16 at the Comedy venue in Phoenix Stand Up Live! phoenixwhere participants must purchase a minimum of two drinks in the venue’s showroom.

Beador said last month that she will pay for the damage she caused in the US incident, which occurred after she was seen at an establishment in Newport Beach, California called A Restaurant.

Beador’s attorney Michael Fell has been in contact with the owner of the Newport Beach property the reality star damaged while driving under the influence, insiders said TMZ last month.

Beador is trying to “make things right” by compensating the property owner for the damage caused, the source said, and has said she will pay for any necessary repairs as a result of the incident.

Beador was also looking at various options for treatment at the time, but had not yet taken any action, the source told the outlet.

“Shannon and I have been friends for a long time,” Lewis said on his SiriusXM show last month. “I was shocked – she called me yesterday and we talked for a while – and I was shocked because I never knew Shannon to ever drink and drive.

“I’ll tell you she takes full responsibility. She’s ashamed, she’s ashamed. Personally, as her friend, because people say, ‘Oh, she needs rehab,’ ‘Oh, she’s an alcoholic,’ I don’t think Shannon is an alcoholic.”

He added: ‘I think she’s going through a lot of personal issues at the moment, and I think she’s leaning on alcohol – but I don’t think she’s an alcoholic.’

Lewis said Beador is “going to therapy” after the accident and arrest.
