Perhaps inspired by Robert Downey Jr.'s stunning transformation, Indio Falconer Downey entered a rehab clinic following his 2014 arrest, as per a Daily Mail report. A source close to the family told the outlet, "[Robert Jr.] not only knows about Indio's struggles, he's tried everything, as all parents do, including kicking Indio out of the family home, followed by boundaries and tough love." Unfortunately, the anonymous person added that none of the methods have been effective.
Two years after Indio's arrest and his stint at the Malibu rehabilitation facility, Robert Jr. candidly addressed his son's journey to recovery on social media. Taking to his Facebook page, the "Iron Man" star penned, "His ongoing commitment to recovery continues to inspire and amaze," and promoted Indio's rock band, The Dose. In a 2019 statement shared with RadarOnline, Deborah Falconer commended Robert Jr.'s dedication to supporting their son, noting that Indio was in a much more positive place.
In November 2023, Indio shared with People that he was officially 18 months sober. "I'm trying to push myself to just improve in a lot of areas that I haven't done that need improvement. I'm changing slowly but surely," Indio said. He credited incorporating daily practices like meditation and gratitude to enhance his well-being, along with channeling his energy into creating music.
