Demi Lovato was rushed to an L.A. hospital after suffering what appears to be a heroin overdose ... law enforcement tells TMZ.
Our sources say Demi was transported from a home in the Hollywood Hills just before noon Tuesday, and is currently being treated. We do not know her condition.
Demi has fought substance abuse for years ... at one point she lived in a sober living home after getting released from a treatment center. She had been 6 years sober from alcohol, cocaine and Oxycontin.
Last month she released a song called "Sober" where she revealed she had fallen off the wagon.

Like Prince, she’ll keep trying until eventually she gets it right.
It’s very sad, otherwise successful people killing themselves.
Hate to say it but I know who she is. I even like a couple of her songs. Sad..she is so young.
Hollywood is an evil, evil place.
Any parent who sends their kid there is guilty of child abuse.
Sorry to hear that. Demi is one of the few younger singers who has done work that I like. She has some good songwriters and producers working with her.
Demi’s former boyfriend’s show name is The Weekend.
The Weekend is a black, Canadian of Ethiopian descent.
The Weekend is another of the few young people who have created music that is either interesting or plain old entertaining. I would like to see The Weekend work with the Elder Songsmith Paul McCartney.
Unfortunately an opiate addict who quits from some period of time then falls off the wagon will usually dose at the last known level of the drug, and without the body’s tolerance they easily overdose and often die.
I hope for her that it doesn’t end this way.
The Narcan situation. I'm conflicted. It saves druggies if they're tended to soon enough after an OD. But it's made druggies less fearful. Some folks around here say that overall it hasn't caused a decline in overdose deaths.
Maybe a fear of death and a reason to live are the only cures. (I ramble...)
I don’t know anything about her, but hope that she makes it through. Life is short enough as it is.
Celebs die at 27 so she has few years left....
I don’t know just where I’m going
But I’m gonna try for the kingdom, if I can
Cause it makes me feel like I’m a man
When I put a spike into my vein
And I tell you things aren’t quite the same
When I’m rushing on my run
And I feel just like Jesus’ son
[Chorus]
And I guess that I just don’t know
And I guess that I just don’t know
[Verse 2]
I have made big decision
I’m gonna try to nullify my life
Cause when the blood begins to flow
When it shoots up the dropper’s neck
When I’m closing in on death
You can’t help me, not you guys
And all you sweet girls with all your sweet talk
You can all go take a walk
[Chorus]
And I guess I just don’t know
And I guess that I just don’t know
[Verse 3]
I wish that I was born a thousand years ago
I wish that I’d sailed the darkened seas
On a great big clipper ship
Going from this land here to that
In a sailor’s suit and cap
Away from the big city
Where a man cannot be free
Of all the evils of this town
And of himself and those around
[Chorus]
Oh, and I guess that I just don’t know
Oh, and I guess that I just don’t know
[Verse 4]
Heroin, be the death of me
Heroin, it’s my wife and it’s my life, haha
Because a mainline into my vein
Leads to a center in my head
And then I’m better off than dead
Because when the smack begins to flow
I really don’t care anymore
About all the Jim-Jims in this town
And all the politicians making crazy sounds
And everybody putting everybody else down
And all the dead bodies piled up in mounds
Cause when the smack begins to flow
And I really don’t care anymore
Ah, when that heroin is in my blood
Heh, and that blood is in my head
Then thank God that I’m as good as dead
And thank your God that I’m not aware
And thank God that I just don’t care
[Chorus]
And I guess I just don’t know
Oh, and I guess that I just don’t know
Heroin- Velvet Underground
Another dead (or almost dead) doper.
Whats for dinner?
I don’t know. I’m fortunate in having no personal or family experience with drug addiction. However, it is a characteristic of people that they adjust their behavior to compensate for reduced risks of foolish behavior. Your car has more safety features, so you drive faster and with less caution.
Ditto.

A lost soul, how very sad.
Yeah I figured, but she is still on the heavier side now, than the pic I responded to.
I always wondered who owned NARCAN and which one of obama pals they are. Notice NARCAN was given out heavly during obama regime? Notice how bad opiod addiction spread during obama regime?
Another commie goal achieved, gotta keep them high so they do not see what the gov is doing to them I am now against NARCAN given out to all drug addicts. If they OD, well so be it. They will OD and die at some point.
I think the ones who receive NARCAN the most are the homeless, homeless which is another left goal to make us a 3rd world nation. Saw a special on TV not so long ago. It said NARCAN given the most to homeless. They interviewed some of them. Most of them didn’t care about life anymore.
The Chinese never forgot about the Opium Dens.
