Ben Affleck was seen heading to a treatment center in Los Angeles last week after claims he was getting support for his sobriety.

The 45-year-old actor was also spotted with what appeared to be a sober companion afterwards.

And on Saturday that same lady was close by the Argo director's side as he strolled with girlfriend Lindsay Shookus - a producer at SNL - in New York City.

All three were seen at a crosswalk with the unidentified female pal in a beige jacket, white blouse and jeans with grey loafers.

The action star has yet to comment on getting more treatment. 

Ben was bundled up in a steel blue bomber jacket over a T-shirt that advertised the Bahamian Baker's Bay Golf & Ocean Club.

Ben was recently seen back in The Big Apple on Friday night, after being spotted at a treatment center in Los Angeles.

The Justice League actor is reportedly still seeking help for his ongoing addiction with alcohol.

It was just seven months ago that the actor announced he had completed a stint in rehab.

Affleck announced in March that he had entered and completed a treatment program.

The actor wrote in a Facebook post: 'I have completed treatment for alcohol addiction; something I've dealt with in the past and will continue to confront. I want to live life to the fullest and be the best father I can be.'

They have daughters Violet, 11, Seraphina, 8, and son Samuel, five.
