Actress Kirsten Dunst has prompted speculation she is losing her battle with alcohol addiction just five weeks after leaving rehab, according to reports.
The 26-year-old star was reportedly admitted to Cirque Lodge earlier this year after a wild week of partying at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah, prompting family and friends to seek intervention.
But, during a break from filming while on location in New York to celebrate her birthday earlier this month, she was allegedly seen drinking and dancing with pals - including The Strokes' Fabrizio Moretti - at a local bar.
A source tells Star magazine, "She got worse as the night went on. She started out pretty chilled, but hours later she was dancing and jumping like a crazed animal."
"She indulged in any guy who would have her attention. She also went up to several guys and started flirting with them hard-core."
"She was just completely out of it. It was obvious that whatever happened in rehab didn't stick."

NOTE by AddictionInfo editor: Cirque Lodge, like many "celebrity rehab" facilities, is based on a twelve-step program. According to the article AA Is Not The Only Way, by Melanie Solomon, "The 12-step success rate is approximately 3 percent."
