Super-producer Scott Storch, whose financial issues and speculated drug abuse have been the talk of the music industry, revealed to MTV that he’s been in hiatus – on a road to recovery.

After the recent headlines of his arrest for grand theft auto, Storch told MTV that for the last three years he’d been coasting through life. Spending excessively on lavish trips, houses, cars, cocaine, women, and non-stop partying. Once a $70 million dollar man who charged $100,000 per beat, his music production work afforded him that lifestyle. But the lifestyle soon caught up with him.

From his recent arrest for unpaid child support to unpaid property taxes [Storch’s $10 million Home Up for Sale], Storch let MTV know that these things occured due to “poor judgement decisions.”

Today, he’s in recovery, and taking everything back to “square one,” he told MTV.

“I’m taking it back to square one,” Storch told the network, while sitting in a Miami studio.

“I found myself slipping a little bit,” he said. “I got involved in doing drugs. I had to get myself into recovery. Being in the life that I was living — very fast-moving, option to do anything you want, go anywhere you wanna go — it definitely takes its toll on you, and you lose your concept of reality. I had to get it under control. I had to take it back to the beginning and back to the Hit Factory, where I made a lot of my hits.”

Today, Storch is in his final stages of rehabilitation. He lives in a three-quarter home and is supervised by a live-in counselor. He is allowed to go work in the studio until his mandatory curfew time.

“I haven’t won the war. It’s not like something you can just fix and it’s just gone,” admits the platinum producer. “Addiction is a disease, and I have to constantly battle it. I feel so much better and have more clarity, especially in the studio. It’s cool. It’s been a really productive period. … With the help of my publisher TVT, I’ve had the chance to woodshed and come up with a whole new vibe. I’m very happy right now.”
