Selena Gomez Quietly Seeks Treatment

Here’s another reason why so many people love Selena, she’s a smart young woman. This became apparent when Selena voluntarily checked herself into a treatment program at The Dawn at the Meadows in Arizona on January 5th. Her Reps state, “Selena voluntarily spent time at Meadows but not for drug abuse.” The facility specializes in the treatment of young adults for addiction and other issues. It’s believed Selena checked into a 45 day program and left after 2 weeks because she didn’t pose any threat to herself or others. Leading up her stay, Selena had cancelled her “Stars Dance” Australian tour and had recently spent time with her ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber. Pictures had been posted of the pair riding Segways near Bieber’s Calabasas, California home on January 2nd.
Many think Bieber is the reason for her seeking treatment. They blame him for being a “bad influence” on Selena. The pair broke up in early 2013, but have occasionally reconnected throughout the year. In a public statement, Selena says, “My fans are so important to me and I would never want to disappoint them. But it has become clear to me and those close to me that after many years of putting my work first, I need to spend some time on myself in order to be the best person I can be.” It’s true that she’s been working continuously over the past 6 years, focusing on her career as a pop star and actress. Even so, her family and friends were not happy with her recent outing with Bieber. They were concerned she was falling back into the on again/off again relationship with Justin. A source reported to E!, “She needed to work on her emotional life. She needed to learn tools to deal with Justin and letting go of that relationship.” It’s obvious how much her family and friends love her and want her to be healthy and happy.
Since leaving the treatment facility, Selena has been spotted attending the Sundance Film Festival with Rudderless co-star/director William H. Macy on January 20th looking fit and fabulous. Insiders say she’s never been better. She’s strong and great.
Selena, take care and take the time you need. Your loyal fans will understand. Remember those who truly care about you will always want what’s best for you.
