Britney Spears has voluntarily entered a substance abuse treatment facility, just over a month after her arrest on suspicion of driving under the influence.
The arrest occurred in March following reports of erratic driving on U.S. 101 in Ventura County, California. Authorities reported a combination of alcohol and drugs were found in her system during field sobriety tests. She was briefly detained and later released.
Investigators submitted the case to the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office, with a decision on charges expected before a May 4 court date. A representative previously described the incident as “completely inexcusable” and expressed hope for positive change.
Spears has largely stepped back from her music career in recent years, with no album releases in nearly a decade and no tours for almost eight years. She regained control of her finances and life decisions in 2021 after a 14-year conservatorship was dissolved, and later released a bestselling memoir.
