TMZ first reported that the singer was transported to an undisclosed medical facility shortly before noon on Tuesday after friends called 911.
A law enforcement source confirmed she was given Narcan when she was found, a medication that’s used to try and reverse an opioid overdose.
While it’s been speculated that Lovato overdosed on heroin, TMZ reported late Tuesday that the star had refused to disclose to paramedics what she had taken and that no drugs were found at her home.
A source told the website that she had not overdosed on heroin but wouldn’t disclose any further details. However, the songstress has previously struggled with cocaine and Oxycontin addictions.

According to UsWeekly, the Narcan was kept on hand by one of the singer’s friends ‘in case something like this happened.’
‘Her friends knew this was coming because she’s been using so much again. They were up all night partying the night before at her house,’ a source told UsWeekly. ‘Luckily, the Narcan worked and she will recover.’
Law enforcement told TMZ that there is currently no criminal investigation because they could not determine what drug Lovato was under the influence of.
It’s reported that the Confident singer’s mother Dianna De La Garza is at her bedside.
Demi’s aunt, Kerissa Dunn, posted on social media Tuesday afternoon that the 25-year-old is ‘awake and responsive’, TMZ reported, and also asked fans to pray for the hitmaker. However, it seems the posts have since been deleted.
Following the update, Demi’s rep said in a statement to Variety: ‘Demi is awake and with her family who want to express thanks to everyone for the love, prayers, and support.
‘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.’
TMZ is now reporting that Demi’s friends were concerned for the star’s wellbeing in the weeks leading up to her overdose.
The star’s entourage said it was ‘apparent’ she had fallen off the wagon, with the signs becoming more ‘alarming’ as the days passed, according to the website.
Demi also allegedly had a falling out with her sober coach earlier this month, accusing him of betraying her.
However, the site claims that some of her other friends didn’t see it coming at all, with one acquaintance saying she seemed ‘great’ when he visited her at home just two weeks ago.
