In October 2010, the teen acting and singing sensation, Demi Lovato, entered into a rehab facility for undisclosed reasons.

Although much speculation encircled Ms. Lovato’s admission, the details of her struggles were well-concealed until now.

In the February issue of Seventeen Magazine, Demi Lovato talks openly about her decision to enter into rehab and her desire to change her life and become healthy. Although under the legal drinking age, Ms. Lovato admitted to drinking heavily as well as using drugs to numb her pain. In addition to these two substance abuse struggles, Ms. Lovato also admits to struggling with bulimia.

“With these admissions, it’s clear that Ms. Lovato is working hard to get well and live life to its fullest by being sober,” begins a spokesperson for Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center. “It can be difficult to admit your struggles, particularly as a young, famous individual. We truly applaud Ms. Lovato’s courage to take personal responsibility for her actions as well as her recovery. She certainly has the right attitude, and it seems that she has the determination to continue on her journey to lifelong sobriety.”
