Cuban radio host Rolando Zaldívar left a rehabilitation center outside Miami after entering the program, according to Conducta Dade. The project, which has accompanied him since late 2025, had announced his admission and later reported that he left treatment. His departure changes the initial announcement about his stay at the center, where the project said he had begun a new stage of rehabilitation.

Conducta Dade waited 48 hours before making the admission public to verify that Zaldívar remained in the program and followed its rules and scheduled activities. During that period, the radio host stayed at the center and participated in treatment activities, according to the project’s account. The later update said he was no longer there without detailing the circumstances of his departure.

When announcing the admission, Conducta Dade described the move to a center outside Miami as the result of several efforts and emphasized that the site was removed from Zaldívar’s usual environment. The community organization said it had accompanied him since late 2025. The first announcement presented his stay as a step in the process; the later communication reported that he had left the facility.

This stage came after Zaldívar left another treatment center in April without finishing the process, according to information about his recent history. The new admission represented a return to a rehabilitation program, but his later departure also interrupted that stay. Conducta Dade described the treatment as incomplete but did not detail what happened before he left the center.

Zaldívar is known for his work as host of Disco Fiesta 98, a Radio Ciudad de La Habana program through which he became prominent in the 1990s and 2000s. His radio career is part of the public history associated with his name. This report focuses on his stay at the center outside Miami and his later departure, two developments communicated by Conducta Dade.
