Following Demi Lovato‘s apparent heroin overdose, the singer is reportedly set to be discharged from the hospital where she will be headed straight to rehab to begin her recovery.
According to E! News, the 25-year-old had been partying hard for weeks prior to the incident on Tuesday.
“She slipped up and thought she could handle it. This is obviously a huge wake-up call,” a source told the publication.
“Demi doesn’t want to die and she’s very grateful to be alive. She will be leaving the hospital and heading straight to rehab. Her family has been by her side supporting her and is getting her the help she needs.”
An insider told Us Weekly that only Lovato’s mother has been given clearance to visit her room.
“The hospital has placed two security guards outside of her room and has been instructed to not let anyone that Demi’s mom hasn’t approved to visit her,” says the source.
“The entire floor is basically on lockdown with the rooms next to hers remaining vacant to give her the upmost privacy.”
In a statement to Us Weekly, the singer’s rep thanked fans for their love and support and stated that some information has been reported incorrectly.
“Demi is awake and with her family who want to express thanks to everyone for the love, prayers and support. Some of the information being reported is incorrect and they respectfully ask for privacy and not speculation as her health and recovery is the most important thing right now.”
A representative for the Los Angeles Fire Department revealed to the publication that they “transported a 25-year-old female patient to a local hospital,” while the Los Angeles Police Department confirms both departments “responded to a medical emergency” in the area of the singer’s Hollywood Hills home.
TMZ obtained audio of the emergency call which reveals Lovato was unconscious upon their arrival and revived with Narcan — an emergency medication to reverse the effects of a narcotic overdose.
However, while TMZ reports the overdose is heroin related, a source close to Lovato claims that it is not, via PEOPLE.
