Demi Lovato, who was first admitted to rehab in 2010 for drug and alcohol addiction, has used his experience to help others who might be facing similar issues.
“I believe I used those coping methods because I was truly in such pain that I didn’t want to die and didn’t know what to do. I tried my best, but now that I have other resources and tools, I know how to deal with other situations so that I don’t need to resort to the same behaviors again,” Lovato said in a March 2021 episode of “Yeah No! I’m not OK” podcast.
After seeking treatment, the singer entered a sober home in 2013. However, he relapsed in 2013 after six years of sobriety. He was then rushed to hospital in 2018 following a near fatal drug overdose.
After the difficult journey, Lovato shared the reasons for the relapse in their Dancing With the Devil documentary in March 2021. Later, Lovato clarified that they did not completely eliminate marijuana and alcohol from the lives of their children.
The Disney Channel alum stated that he wanted to balance his life in both the substance and the entertainment side. A one-size-fits all solution is not the best for everyone. A path that works for someone else doesn’t necessarily mean it is safe, effective, and meaningful for you. … I encourage people to make their own choices. For me, autonomy is what has changed my life.
