Welp, he's back home in Arkansas.
Confirming a report from earlier Thursday regarding his departure from rehab, Josh Duggar has returned home to his family at last.
Josh entered treatment last August for cheating on his wife, Anna, and admitting to molesting young girls when he was a teenager.
While it's not certain how Anna Duggar received her husband upon his arrival, his four children are reportedly psyched to see their dad.
"If nothing else, this is a happy time for their kids," a source told People, while the family issued its own remarks moments ago.
The Duggars said in a statement:
"Josh has completed his residential rehabilitation program. We are so thankful for everyone who worked with Josh in this program."
"It was a crucial first step in recovery and healing for Josh."
"Josh has now returned to Arkansas, where he will continue professional counseling and focus on rebuilding relationships with his family."
"We look to God for help and guidance and place all of our trust in Him."
"We are forever grateful for the love and prayers offered by so many and hope you will continue to pray in the days ahead."
Interactions between Duggar and his family will likely be kept private, even though a new season of Jill & Jessa: Counting On has teased family members' responses to Josh's actions.
Jessa Seewald, one of her brother's victims and the family's best-known faces, admitted to People in an interview that it's a challenge.
"I definitely have forgiven Josh. It is a process, though, that you have to work through in your heart," Jessa reflected.
"And trust is not quickly rebuilt. It is something that takes a while. We love him very much, though, and we are very hopeful for the future."
Other siblings have offered similar sentiments about forgiving but not trusting Josh following his shocking infidelity scandal last summer.
Time will tell if he makes his way back to TV for some kind of public apology tour, or if he's content to lay low for the foreseeable future.
