Singer and actress Demi Lovato was released from a Los Angeles hospital on Saturday and checked into an in-patient facility, roughly two weeks after an apparent drug overdose.
A source told the magazine: “Demi left the hospital over the weekend. She will get continued care at an in-patient rehab facility. At the hospital, she was surrounded by family and friends that support her sobriety. They all want Demi to be the best she can. […] She has a long journey ahead, but with all the love, her journey could absolutely be a positive one.”
The 25-year-old broke her silence Sunday with a lengthy Instagram post, saying she remains committed to overcoming addiction.
“I have always been transparent about my journey with addiction. What I’ve learned is that this illness is not something that disappears or fades with time. It is something I must continue to overcome and have not done yet,” she wrote. “I now need time to heal and focus on my sobriety and road to recovery. The love you have all shown me will never be forgotten and I look forward to the day where I can say I came out on the other side.”
Lovato thanked God, her fans, family, team and hospital staff in the post. She closed with: “I will keep fighting.”
