Britney Spears has recently entered a rehabilitation center to address her struggles with substance abuse, her representative confirmed on Sunday.

The confirmation follows reports from an insider, shared with Us Weekly, which indicated that the pop icon decided to seek help after receiving significant encouragement from those close to her. TMZ first reported the news, highlighting the intervention from her inner circle.

“She realizes she hit rock bottom,” a source revealed to the outlet, referring to the 44-year-old Grammy winner’s decision to seek treatment.

According to sources who spoke with TMZ, Spears has been dealing with longstanding issues related to alcohol and the ADHD medication Adderall.

The Daily Mail has reached out to Spears’ representatives for additional comments on the matter.

This development comes nearly a month after Spears was arrested on March 4 for a DUI in Ventura County, California.
