Gov. Bush's daughter enters drug treatment

TALLAHASSEE, Florida (CNN) -- Florida Gov. Jeb Bush's daughter, Noelle, has entered a drug treatment facility following her arrest last month on prescription drug fraud charges, the governor's office said Saturday.

Bush, 24, was arrested January 29 on charges that she tried fraudulently to obtain the sedative Xanax. Police alleged she provided a false prescription to a Tallahassee pharmacy.

The charge, a felony, carries a possible five-year prison sentence, although a local prosecutor said it's unlikely she would face jail time.

The governor's office provided no details about her treatment, and no comment from the governor.

Shortly after her arrest, Gov. Bush released a statement calling the arrest "a very serious problem."

"Substance abuse is an issue confronting many families across our nation," Bush said. "We ask the public and the media to respect our family's privacy during this difficult time so that we can help our daughter."

Xanax is a sedative used to treat anxiety disorder and as a sleep aid. It can make users feel drowsy and dizzy as it reduces nervousness and tension.
