NEW Details On Drug That Caused Demi Lovato Apparent Overdose

More Celebrity News ►►
More information is surfacing about Demi’s overdose and the circumstances surrounding it.
It’s pretty upsetting, but we’re glad Demi is getting the help she needs.
In the early morning hours of July 24th, Demi returned home from celebrating a friend’s birthday at Saddle Ranch and texted her drug dealer who she allegedly has been using since May. After receiving his text, he came to her house around 4AM where the two smoked oxycodone from tinfoil, also known as freebasing. The drug was laced with an opiate, fentanyl - the same drug that killed Prince, Tom Petty and Michael Jackson, and is responsible for more than half of all overdose related deaths, including 20,000 deaths in the US alone in 2015. Once the dealer noticed Demi was in bed breathing very heavily, the dealer fled her home where she remained until her staff and friends found her at 1130AM. They called 911 and while waiting for the medics to arrive, one used Narcan that they had on hand to revive Demi.
She was immediately brought to the hospital where she remained for two weeks and that last week went to a rehab facility in Arizona and last Friday flew to Chicago to meet with an addiction specialist who focuses on sobriety, mental health and wellness. This isn’t her leaving rehab, as her facility actually recommended this specialist to her, and she is jumping at every opportunity to focus on recovery and getting better.
A source told E news that “She will be in rehab for several months and is doing an extensive program to ensure she gets the help she needs”. They added that she "hasn't been in communication with anyone and is really focusing on herself." That also includes limiting contact with her ex-boyfriend, Wilmer Valderrama, who visited her several times while she was stabilizing in the hospital. Her family has been in contact with him and updating him about her status, but is also focused on eliminating all distractions so she can really focus on her health.
As Demi said in her instagram post after she left the the hospital, "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."
We’re so glad Demi is taking the time to get better and that her family is determined to help her get there. If you or anyone you know is struggling with substance abuse or addiction, we urge you to reach the National Substance Abuse hotline at 1800-662-HELP.
