For instance, Demi revealed that she must deal with blurry vision and blind spots, affecting her ability to read and drive. The singer was rushed to the hospital in July of 2018 after being found unconscious at her home in LA.

Reportedly, Demi had taken opioids laced with fentanyl not long after she broke her six years of sobriety.
