(CBS News) A day after LeAnn Rimes celebrated her 30th birthday, she checked into a treatment center to help deal with emotional issues.

"LeAnn has voluntarily entered a 30-day in-patient treatment facility to cope with anxiety and stress," her rep, Marcel Pariseau, told People. "While there will be speculation regarding her treatment, she is simply there to learn and develop coping mechanisms. While privacy isn't expected, it's certainly appreciated."

Rimes celebrated her 30th birthday on Wednesday with a quiet dinner, reports Us Weekly. She entered the facility on Wednesday. Her rep said the county singer is not getting treatment for an eating disorder or substance abuse.

"This is just a time for me to emotionally check out for a second and take care of myself and come back in 30 days as the best 30-year-old woman I can be," Rimes said.

The singer's husband, 39-year-old actor Eddie Cibrian, told People he supports his wife's decision to seek help.

"My wife is the most remarkable and courageous woman I know," he said. "I am so proud of her for having the strength to finally take some time for herself. I will be with her every step of the way."

Rimes and Cibrian wed in April 2011.

Meanwhile, Rimes has been hard at work on new music as she gears up for the release of her album, "Spitfire," due out spring 2013. She has a batch of tour dates lined up, too, beginning with a Sept. 7 appearance on Eau Clare, Wis. Her rep said Rimes will keep those commitments. Dates are scheduled through mid-December.

You must be blind or something. A beautiful, talented young lady. I hope she can work through whatever she's going through. I'm pulling for her.

This girl peaked too soon. She's known as a homewrecker now after breaking up her current husband's former marriage.Never been a fan. It's obvious she has an eating disorder and is trying to keep that Eddie happy(he only likes his women rail thin). Looks like she's on meth or something to help with the weight loss. I knew it, but I hope she succeeds in getting clean and comes to enjoy a full meal without counting the calories.

To: mecanik-2009...maybe Jame-_V is ugly and can't sing but I bet she can look at herself in the mirror without any shameful skeletons in her closet. I used to really admire LeAnn until her blatent escapades of involvement with a married man with children. She is no better than most of them all thinking the grass is greener on the other side so everything is fair in love and war. She should of waited for his divorce and saved face. She deserves all the cat calls she gets. Sorry

Amen to that. It must be stressful breaking up a marriage, ruining the home of two small children, behaving badly and displaying immoral behavior and she's stressed out?

She got what she deserved!

How mysterious??? I am 58 years old and wish I had the luxury to 'check out' of life consequences any time I felt the urge.

That's because REAL women don't cheat, lie, breakup marriages, and steal children that don't belong to them. They work, take care of their OWN children, their OWN husbands and are nurturers.

Leann Rimes is not a real woman. She's a tramp!

Yes because life is so hard and stressful when you're rich.
