An “exhausted” and “broken hearted” Selena Gomez has been hiding a secret from her legions of adoring fans: RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned that emotional issues sent her to an Arizona rehab facility in January for a hush-hush emergency two-week stay. The “Come & Get It” singer was admitted to Dawn at The Meadows recovery facility in Wickenburg, Ariz., on Jan. 5.
According to its website, Dawn at The Meadows specializes in patients 18 to 26 years old who are struggling with emotional trauma, addiction or dual diagnosis concerns.
And while a rep for Gomez confirmed the treatment to Radar — “Selena voluntarily spent time at Meadows but not for substance abuse,” a spokesperson revealed — a source close to Gomez has revealed that in the months before her stint in rehab, she had been “partying very hard.”
Indeed, Radar has learned that Gomez, 21, had been leading a life very different from the carefully created squeaky-clean public persona: one troubled by drug and alcohol use.
The former Disney princess — who first made her debut appearing as Gianna in Barney & Friends and starred in Wizards of Waverly Place — had been experimenting with marijuana and prescription drugs, including Xanax and Ambien.
Ambien, prescribed as a sleep aid, has become a drug of choice for many in Hollywood because it is similar to drinking a large amount of alcohol where one feels completely relaxed and loses control of their body.
“Her friends and family became increasingly worried that there might be a serious problem with Selena,” said another source.
“Particularly, her parents. The partying was, at times, wild. They wanted to help her — and they very much encouraged her to go to rehab. Others very close to her also urged her to seek professional help.”
“Selena came to understand just what a bad influence Justin had been on her life,” said one source. “Their relationship left her broken-hearted.”
“I don’t know whether Justin pushed her to drug use, but amongst their close knit group of friends, smoking was common place,” said another insider.
“Justin and Selena would smoke marijuana together regularly.”
