The news follows the revelation last week that the guitarist, married for 23 years, had run away with 18-year-old Russian Ekaterina Ivanova.
"Following Ronnie's continued battle with alcohol he has entered a period of rehab," said the spokeswoman. "His close family and friends say he is seeking help and look forward to his recovery."
Wood is a long-time alcoholic and is thought to have spent time in clinics in 2002 and 2006.
His wife Jo said at the weekend: "How do you help an alcoholic? They have to want to get better and they have to want to go to rehab."
