UPDATED AUG 3, 2018

Demi Lovato's path to recovery has been closely watched by people all around the world. The 25-year-old singer has been staying at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where she was admitted on July 24 after being found unconscious in her Hollywood Hills home earlier in the day. Her immediate family and close friends including her ex-boyfriend Wilmer Valderrama have been by her side.

According to People, the 'Sorry, Not Sorry' singer has agreed to enter a drug treatment center following a relapse and overdose that has left her hospitalized for the past 10 days.

“Demi is well enough to leave the hospital this weekend. She has agreed to rehab and will go straight to an in-patient facility,” a source told the publication. “It’s her choice to go to rehab. This is not anything that can be forced.”

“She understands the severity of her overdose and the recovery has been very challenging for her,” the source added. “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.”
