TMZ reported Ben agreed to seek treatment after Jennifer begged him to get help while at his Pacific Palisades home on Wednesday.
Witnesses said she arrived carrying a bible and accompanied by a lawyer.
Ben, 46, appeared emotional as he left his house in a car driven by Jennifer. The actor reportedly arrived at The Canyon live-in rehab facility, in Malibu, that same evening, where he is said to check-in for an 'extended period of time.'
It is not clear if or how this will affect the pair's divorce proceedings, which have been stalled in the courts for years.
Two weeks ago the LA Superior Court threatened to terminate the couple's case because they have not filed the proper paperwork.
Documents obtained by The Blast say: 'If you fail to take the appropriate steps in your case, the court may dismiss your case for delay in prosecution.'
Canyon's website describes the rehab facility as a 'state-of-the-art private-pay treatment program housed on 120 beautiful acres near the Malibu coastline'.
TMZ claims Ben knew he needed help, and was open to seeking treatment.
Ben reportedly left in a car headed for rehab at around 6pm, and sources said he will be entering a facility in Los Angeles County. While on the way, they made a stop at Jack In The Box, according to the website.
The actor is said to have fallen off the wagon 'a while ago', and has 'gotten progressively worse'.
Garner is said to have 'read him the riot act' a few weeks ago, telling him that he needed to clean up for the sake of their children.
She gave him both barrels while the pair were watching a children's soccer game in front of other parents, Radar Online reported.
'She doesn't want her kids to grow up without a dad,' the source said, adding that she told him to stop acting 'selfish and childish'.
