The 18-year-old star – who is currently being treated for “emotional and physical issues” in an unnamed facility – reportedly wants to be with her family for Thanksgiving (25.11.10) and has asked to go home for the holiday.
A source told E! News: “She is getting better. She doesn't want to be in the centre for Thanksgiving and wants to go home.”
Though Demi – who entered rehab voluntarily at the beginning of November - wants to leave the facility before the end of this month, she doesn’t plan to return to work immediately.
Disney are hoping she recommences filming her TV show ‘Sonny With a Chance’ early next year, but will not pressure her to come back until she is ready, and have also shelved plans for her to record an album until she is completely well.
The source added: "They're still committed to her. No one is abandoning her. But she is holding off on her music for a bit.
"There are a lot of people who never heard of Demi Lovato before this and if she can get through this, she will come back stronger and bigger than ever."
