TMZ reports arrangements have already been made at a live-in rehabilitation centre for the Sober hitmaker’s arrival.

According to the report, Demi’s family held off on making arrangements as she was suffering severe side-effects including nausea and high fever. Now that she is doing better they are adamant to get her the help she needs.

Demi will go straight from Cedars-Sinai hospital in Los Angeles to the facility. It was reported earlier this week that she is expected to be discharged any day now.

This comes after close friends of Demi’s told People magazine that the only way for Demi to get better is to quit show business completely.

“If she wants to survive, she needs to get out of this business. Right now her health and her life are at stake.”

The source added that the 25-year-old’s “sobriety over the last six years was a fight every single day.”
