Demi Lovato Secretly Completes Another Rehab Stay 3 Years After Near-Fatal Overdose: Report

Demi Lovato recently completed another stint in rehab three years after their near-fatal overdose, a report says.

Lovato, 29, who uses they/them pronouns after coming out as non-binary, returned to Utah for treatment but is already back home and "doing well," Page Six reported, citing an unnamed source "close" to the "Dancing With the Devil" singer.

One source "close" to the former child star's mother also told Us Weekly that Lovato returned home from rehab during the holidays.

"Demi will have a sober living companion [with] them during this transition," the insider added. "It was their decision to go back to rehab."

Lovato has yet to publicly address their recent recovery steps. The actress has since wiped their Instagram and only left one photo on their account that they had uploaded a week ago.

In December 2021, the "Confident" singer's sobriety journey made headlines after they confirmed in a statement on their Instagram Story that they were no longer "California sober," which involves drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana in moderation.

"I no longer support my 'California sober' ways. Sober sober is the only way to be," they wrote.

Lovato opened up about this lifestyle choice for the first time when they appeared on "CBS Sunday Morning" in March last year.

"I think the term that I best identify with is California sober," they said. "I really don't feel comfortable explaining the parameters of my recovery to people, because I don't want anyone to look at my parameters of safety and think that's what works for them because it might not."

Lovato also talked about the California sober lifestyle in their docuseries, "Demi Lovato: Dancing With the Devil." The Grammy nominee admitted that telling themselves they would never drink or smoke marijuana again "doesn't work for me."

"I know I'm done with the stuff that's going to kill me, right? Telling myself that I can never have a drink or smoke marijuana, I feel like that's setting myself up for failure because I am such a black-and-white thinker," they explained. "I had it drilled into my head for so many years that one drink was equivalent to a crack pipe."

Lovato was previously hospitalized in July 2018 after overdosing less than one month after the "Skyscraper" singer confirmed they had relapsed after six years sober. Lovato stayed in the hospital for nearly two weeks before completing three months in a rehab facility.

In their documentary, Lovato alleged that they were sexually assaulted by their drug dealer the night of their overdose. The singer said that the dealer ended up getting them high and left them for dead.

"When they found me, I was naked, I was blue, I was literally left for dead after he took advantage of me," Lovato recalled. "And when I woke up in the hospital, they asked if I had had consensual sex. And there was one flash that I had of him on top of me, I saw that flash and I said yes."

Lovato later realized that they had been intoxicated and couldn't have made a "consensual decision" at the time. "That kind of trauma doesn't go away overnight," they added.
