Pop star Demi Lovato reveals that she has become a co-owner of CAST Centers, a mental health and wellness treatment center in Los Angeles, in an interview with Tracy Smith for CBS SUNDAY MORNING, to be broadcast Sept. 11 (9:00 AM ET) on the CBS Television Network.
Lovato has been open about her own health issues. In 2013, after a rough period in her life, Lovato was referred to the CAST Centers for help with depression, bulimia and substance abuse. The program worked, and she's brought her rehab guru, Mike Bayer, CEO and founder of CAST, on tour with her this summer. Why buy in? "I don't know what it says. It just feels good," Lovato tells Smith. "How many 24-year-olds own their own treatment center?" says Lovato's manager, Phil McIntyre. "But then to LEVERAGE her position in pop music, to do so much good, is just incredible." To say Lovato has come a long way since undergoing treatment at CAST would be an understatement. Indeed, CAST's Bayer admits to Smith that when he first met the former Disney star-turned-household-name, she was "very closed off." Lovato says that she was far from a model patient.Image courtesy of CBS
