Demi Lovato is recovering and may be discharged from the hospital "soon" after suffering an apparent overdose on Tuesday.
A source close to the singer told Fox News "there's a decent chance she could be discharged soon."
"After her family and friends paid their visits her family began making arrangements for her release," the source added. "Nurses have been giving her fluids nonstop to flush her system and her family wants to make her exit as quick and quiet as possible."
According to E!, Lovato plans to attend rehab after being released from the hospital.
The troubled pop superstar was reportedly found unresponsive in her Hollywood Hills home Tuesday after an apparent overdose. Lovato reportedly had to be revived with the opioid treatment drug Narcan before being rushed in an ambulance to a Los Angeles area hospital.
TMZ reported that the star refused to tell paramedics what drugs may have caused the overdose, and was not cooperative with EMTs when they arrived at her home.
A source told Fox News that "it's not heroin," though that's what TMZ initially reported.
"Demi is awake and with her family who want to express thanks to everyone for the love, prayers and support," Lovato's rep said in a statement to Fox News on Tuesday. "Some of the information being reported is incorrect and they respectfully ask for privacy and not speculation as her health and recovery is the most important thing right now."
