"Afterwards, Demi felt awful about her behavior and realized she needed to take personal responsibility for it," said an insider close to the family. "Because of this, and because of the battles Demi has fought throughout her life, both she and her family realized she needed to take steps to get help immediately."
It was then that Lovato decided to enter treatment and address her "physical and emotional issues." She is currently still receiving treatment.
