Demi Moore Checks Into Treatment Facility

Posted byBy Stan Castle | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Demi Moore is in a rehab facility.

According to a source, the actress checked into the treatment center, Cirque Lodge, in Utah one week after her Jan. 23 dramatic hospitalization.

“It became clear to her that her way of coping with her stress was not working and she needed more help” a source says. “She’s on total lockdown and only talking to a small group of people.”

Cirque Lodge has previously hosted other celebrity clientele, reportedly including Lindsay Lohan, Eva Mendes and Mary-Kate Olsen. The facility specializes in “individualized addiction treatment”.

On January 23, Moore collapsed and started convulsing after she smoked a substance “similar to incense.” Thereafter, the paramedics responded and took the actress to the hospital.

Moore, who has had a drug problem in the past, had been showing signs of strange behavior lately.

“Really, it was over the last year her friends saw a change,” a source said. “She wasn’t sleeping as well, didn’t seem to be eating and looked really gaunt.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
