Demi Lovato has partnered with CAST Recovery to create The Lovato Treatment Scholarship in honor of her dad, Patrick Lovato, who passed away in part due to untreated mental health and addiction issues.
Demi has battled these issues throughout her life, and she understands what’s at stake. At the same time, effective treatment is costly, and many can’t afford the care they need.
The Lovato Treatment Scholarship will cover expenses for someone struggling with mental health and/or addiction issues, including the costs for one of CAST Recovery’s transitional living homes, as well as the clinical services provided at CAST’s outpatient program.
Demi knows the CAST Recovery team well. She continues to work with them directly, and trusts that their programs offer some of the best services available.
For those interested in applying for The Lovato Treatment Scholarship, please email us your story at [email protected]. Let us know who you are and why you are seeking help.
Demi and the CAST Recovery team wish they could help everyone, but unfortunately they can’t. And while the scholarship will only be able to help one person at a time, Demi will continue to speak out on these issues and lend their voice to those in need.
For those who need immediate help and cannot afford treatment, please go to www.SAMHSA.gov to find resources for additional free treatment options.
