Demi Lovato has embarked upon her second week of treatment and the Disney star is determined to beat her demons.
CNN reports that a source close to Demi’s family says, "Demi knows she needs the help and knows that she is where she needs to be right now.”
“This is a girl with emotional problems who has been fighting demons her whole life," the source says. Sources have been stressing that she has been “out of control” in the weeks leading up to checking into treatment.
The Sonny With a Chance star is in a facility that specializes in adolescents and adult women for various problems. "Demi is not in treatment for drugs. She is there to deal with emotional and physical issues she's been battling her whole life," a source says.
This past weekend, Demi’s family visited her in the facility both Saturday and Sunday. Her stepfather Eddie and mom Dianna De La Garza came with her sisters, Dallas, 22, and Madison, 8.
A source says, “It marked the first time the entire family had been together since Demi started treatment."
"She is determined to get better. She recognizes that she has a difficult road ahead," a family source says, adding, "Demi is committed to her treatment.”
