In March 2018, Demi Lovato celebrated six successful years of sobriety, followed by a near fatal relapse on July 24, 2018 from an overdose of opioid drugs, heroin, and fentanyl. In a docuseries detailing her road to recovery, Demi referenced the relapse, stating, “I picked up a bottle of red wine that night, and it wasn’t even 30 minutes before I called someone that I knew had drugs on them.” The dealer who gave Demi the heroin laced with fentanyl also sexually abused her when she was unconscious.
