Nick Stahl has been found and is back in touch with his family.

The Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines star disappeared in June after checking out of a Los Angeles rehabilitation clinic against doctors' orders but he has now contacted his wife Rose Murphy Stahl and other family members.

According to TMZ.com, Nick is "in a good place" and is attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.

The 32-year-old actor has not yet moved back home with Rose - with whom he has a two-year-old daughter Marlo - but is instead staying elsewhere.

After leaving the treatment facility several weeks ago, Stahl - who has a history of drug and alcohol abuse - was reported missing by his friends and family after he failed to return to a pal's home.

After reporting him missing to the authorities, actress Rose refused to continue to look for him, insisting her priority was their daughter.

She said: "I'm backing off. He knows exactly where home is. It's the loving thing to do for him, myself and our daughter."

Stahl has disappeared on two occasions this year. In May, he went missing for over a week and when he re-emerged he was admitted to a rehabilitation clinic.

The troubled star had been living apart from Rose and Marlo since February.
