This is a scary thought. We thought the worst was behind Demi Lovato now, being hospitalized after an apparent overdose.
We’d even heard she was already planning to go to rehab outside Los Angeles.

But at least one insider is still wary things could get worse before they get better. Why?
The source explains to People:
“The thing about an addict is that you become so good at hiding it. She’s a really smart girl. When she had work commitments, she could pull it together. But that’s how she’s always been, and this might not be her rock bottom. Demi has to want to get help. She can’t be forced into rehab or treatment. It won’t work.”
Demi was apparently so good at hiding her drug use, the source says some of her good friends were “reeling” from the news:
“A lot of people knew she was drinking again, but not that she was using drugs again. That was a shock to a lot of those around her, even those who have spent extended periods of time with her over the last several weeks. When she’s slipped up or been close to slipping up in the past, the biggest concern was alcohol.”
And since she reportedly made the conscious decision to use alcohol in “moderation” that was presumably more difficult to gauge.
We hope this insider is overly worried, and that Demi really is ready for help.
If not, we do NOT want to see rock bottom.
