Photogs spotted the Disney star on her way to further treatment yesterday, and we hope this means she’s feeling better!
Things are hopefully looking up for Demi Lovato. The 18-year-old actress was released from an undisclosed treatment facility on Jan. 28, after her camp cited she suffered from “emotional and physical issues.” Demi was seen entering A New Journey Eating Disorder Center in Santa Monica, Calif., on Jan. 31, and she appeared to be in good spirits! We’re just glad she’s continuing to seek treatment
We did some research and it turns out that each outpatient at A New Journey, will undergo a “personal assessment,” as well as “psychiatric” and “nutritional evaluations.”
Demi has been spotted out and about in LA over the past few days, even making her first stop the yummy Cheesecake Factory! But despite Demi’s recent release, and desire to start working again, sources tell TMZ “she is focused” on herself! Unfortunately, we can still see the scars on Demi’s wrists from her reported cutting.
We just hope Demi’s treatment won’t be affected by her ex-boyfriend Joe Jonas and his new girlfriend Ashley Greene‘s very public dates in LA, NYC, Baton Rouge, LA., and even overseas!

I commend the girl for not concealing her scars to avoid ‘headliners’ like these. You guys pretend to care about her, but in the end we know your careless for adding “Sadly we can still see her cutting scars.” What a low blow for pointing that out!
I am by no means a devoted Demi Lovato fan, i don’t even know how she became a celeb. I’ve never cut myself or had an eating disorder, so I’m not trying to identify with her. Following her around taking photos is one thing, but zooming in to check out her wrists is another.
Thank goodness you provided your readers with photos of the treatment center she is attending! That was a MUST. I can’t believe you included the fact that she was spotted at a Cheesecake Factory! That was a way to comment on her eating disorder, without directly addressing it. Very clever! (totally sarcastic)
I think you should take into consideration the constructive criticism your readers leave on your website.

This website I think is so wrong! Celebrities have there own personal things and it isn’t any of our bussiness! All the press say “oh, we only want the truth and oh please we just want to help” but really you just want to expolit them! Demi lovato is one exaple! Just stop because if they want to tell the world something, they will! And they don’t need you to go forcing her! Just give her some personal sapce! She is a human being just like the rest of us and shouldn’t be treated any differently! Even though she gets that little bit more pressure than we do! Back off!

Rehab is a a place for depressed celebrities to get better. they have a secret locatoon so they dont get harrased. it costs up to $20,000 per week depending on the quality . Many celebs enter so they are treated for their issues. Like Drugs, Drinking eating disorders like demi and misbehaving.Demi cut her self because she was ashamed of her Body.

can you leave demi alone.
joe and ugly ashley have nothing to do with her, and you should be supporting her strength to even check herself into rehab,
i love that girl and just cos she has one problem doesn’t give anyone the right to begin scrutinizing her and coming up with fake exaggerated stories about her life, maybe all these people should first get a life.

oh em gee ! why can’t you let her alone ! I’m sure everybody knows she’s still in treatment and for sure all of this won’t make any good to her !
About the scars – of course they’re gonna be there for quite a looong time ! you don’t even need to be a specialist to know that. It’s not like they’re gonna fade right-away, it will take some time until they are definitely gone !.
I personally can say how proud I’m to see how good Demi is handling all of this because it is not easy for sure. I’m a huuuge fan of hers and this engrows my love and admiration towards her !
DEMI – ECUADOR is still waiting for you and we love you ! (:

Is is necessary to post where she was going & what kind of clinic it was? We all know she was having issues but it should her right as a human being to keep certain things private.
Why is it our business? I like the girl & I feel bad her privacy is being invaded.
She isn’t weak at least she sought help & im sure all of us would have at least a small issue with our ex flaunting their new relationship in front of us in close quarters. Im sure now that they arent on tour it will be better.

demi – you’re such a weak person, why even bother
Ignorance is bliss
Posted at 6:33 AM on February 24, 2011
Weak?? And u r ignorant!! She can’t help it know one wishes for a eating disorder or to self harm and have ugly marks on u. Or die from bulimia or anorexia? No know one wishes for that anymore than a cancer patient wishes for cancer! Are u going to call them weak? She’s getting help making her brave and strong not weak!

We would not be seeing them if you would not publish pictures of them. Why don’t you do the responsible thing and leave her along and let her get well. You are part of the problem with these young people.
