I'm in a great place after rehab: Zac Efron

'High School Musical' star Zac Efron is back from rehab and feeling better than ever.

The 26-year-old actor said he is moving forward and using that challenging period in his life to grow, reported People magazine.

"I'm so happy. I feel like I'm in a great place and I'm glad that I'm really here to share this moment with everybody and be present for all of it," he said.

"It was an interesting year. I learned so many things. So much. The best part of it was being able to reflect upon that experience and realize how much I have learned about myself and the kind of man I want to be," he added.
 

The actor entered rehab last spring for an alleged drug problem.
