ABC/Fred LeeDemi Lovato is reportedly leaving the hospital this weekend and will be heading straight to rehab, following her overdose over a week ago.
Sources tell People Demi understand the seriousness of her situation, and claim it was her decision to get treatment.
“Demi is well enough to leave the hospital this weekend. She has agreed to rehab and will go straight to an in-patient facility,” one source says. “It’s her choice to go to rehab. This is not anything that can be forced.”
The source adds, “She understands the severity of her overdose and the recovery has been very challenging for her. She wants to be sober. She wants to get help. She understands that it will take a lot of work and commitment to stay healthy, but this is what she wants.”
Demi has been surrounded by family and close friends at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center since being admitted July 24. A second source tells People they have been encouraging her to go back to rehab following her relapse.
“Her family has been pushing for her to get treatment in a center. The goal has been to get her physically healthy and now that Demi is stable they’re focusing on getting her clean again,” the insider says. “It won’t be easy but Demi agreeing to rehab is a huge step for her recovery.”
