The 41-year-old actor was ordered by a Yuba County, California judge to complete a 90-day rehab program, and could be out of custody as soon as Thursday, the district attorney’s office told TMZ Tuesday.
Weiss, who played the role of Goldberg in the hockey-themed Disney films, will initially detox in an Orange County, California for a week before beginning his rehab stint.

Sources told the outlet that the plan is for the Montvale, New Jersey native to finish an outpatient program and take part in a sober house program until he’s cleared to stay in a sober living home.
Officials with an unnamed television series helped coordinate Weiss’s upcoming stint at the costly rehab facility, according to TMZ. (A Mighty Ducks reboot is in production with Disney+.)
Lindsay Lohan’s father Michael Lohan previously had a rehab facility in Texas ready to open its doors to Weiss, according to the outlet.
Weiss was taken into custody January 26 in connection with residential burglary and being under the influence of meth, and held on $52,500 bail, according to a release from the Marysville Police Department.

Police said that a resident in Marysville, California, a community about 125 miles northwest of San Francisco, contacted them after discovering Weiss on their property.
Responding officers said Weiss broke a window to slip into the vehicle he was found hiding in, in the garage of the home.
Weiss, who was arrested on the spot, ‘displayed symptoms of being under the influence of methamphetamine,’ police said. The actor told police that he was trespassing and broke into the vehicle that was not his.
The actor has been plagued with drug and legal problems the past few years, as he was also arrested in connection with public intoxication in August 2018 in Oroville, California. Before that, in 2017, he was sentenced to 90 days in jail after he was arrested in connection with meth possession in Burbank, California.
