Demi Lovato and Pals 'Were on a Binger' Night Before Overdose and Had Narcan on Hand: Source

Prior to herapparent drug overdoseon Tuesday,Demi Lovato‘s friends had a strong suspicion an incident like thiswould occur.

“She and her ‘friends’ were on a binger the entire night,” an insider tells PEOPLE of the house party that continued after the group leftSaddle Ranch. “They keep Narcan on hand for such situations – they were prepared for this. The people she has been hanging around lately aren’t her real friends – they don’t have her best interests at heart. She’s pushed her true friends away.”

The source adds, “She had to find creative and sneaky ways to get drugs because her team and those that really care about her really try to keep a close watch on her.”

The “Sorry Not Sorry” singer was rushed to the hospital Tuesday morning following the incident at her Hollywood Hills home, hours later appearing “alert and stable,” a close source confirmed to PEOPLE.

And while the insider says Lovato is “capable” of pulling through this, sources close to the star told PEOPLEthey had been fearing an incident like thisfor an extended period of time.

“Things have been a total mess for months. She and her team severed ties, and they played a large part in getting her sober years ago. She hasn’t been in a good place,” a close source claimed.

Last month Lovato released her new hit song, “Sober,” revealing her recent relapse following six years of sobriety. She performed “Sober” in Paso Robles, California,just two days prior to the apparent overdose.

Since her apparent overdose, Lovato has received a massive amount of support and well-wishes from fans and close friends, includingex Wilmer Valderrama.

“He knew she was going through a tough time but he wasn’t prepared for this,” thesource told PEOPLE. “He saw her through so many ups and downs and was her rock through some of her darkest moments. To see her back in such a sad and vulnerable place is heartbreaking for him.”

The source added Valderrama has “always cared deeply for her and they truly remained friends after they broke up.”

And though Lovato has been vocal about her struggles throughout the years, another insider revealed that Lovato’s period of sobriety was full of ups and downs.

“Demi was never really clean and sober from all of her demons. She has been fighting depression and anxiety for quite some time — and is still in such a dark place. She was sober for a while, but not completely sober for six years.”
