NEW YORK (CBS/AP) Charlie Sheen wants to get back to work on "Two and a Half Men" this month, his spokesman said Thursday.

The 45-year-old actor is currently in rehab, but hopes to return to the CBS sitcom by the end of February, publicist Stan Rosenfield said Thursday. That's a "target" projection, he added.

The series halted production after Sheen sought treatment for undisclosed reasons, following a 911 call that led to a brief stay at a Los Angeles-area hospital last week. According to a recording of the call, Sheen was said to be intoxicated and in pain.

With uncertainty over Sheen's return, CBS is planning to use a combination of "Two and a Half Men" reruns and other sitcoms to fill out its Monday night schedule. The network has two unaired episodes of "Men" in hand, which are to be broadcast Feb. 7 and 14.

On Wednesday, Sheen released a statement thanking those who have supported him during his recent troubles.

"I have a lot of work to do to be able to return the support I have received from so many people," he said.
