Demi Lovato is now a co-owner of CAST Centers, the Los Angeles facility where she sought treatment in 2013.。

The singer, who has struggled with substance abuse, bulimia, bipolar disorder and depression, told CBS's Tracy Smith that "it feels good" to buy into the center that houses the programs that helped her heal.。
