Britney Spears voluntarily checks into rehab

Britney Spears has entered a treatment facility following her DUI arrest last month

A rep for the pop star confirmed to PEOPLE on Sunday, April 12, that Spears, 44, voluntarily checked herself into a treatment facility.

Spears was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol (DUI) in Ventura, Calif., on March 4. She was released the next day, and a rep for the singer told PEOPLE in a statement that the “unfortunate incident” was “completely inexcusable.”

Britney is going to take the right steps and comply with the law and hopefully this can be the first step in long overdue change that needs to occur in Britney’s life. Hopefully, she can get the help and support she needs during this difficult time.

“Her boys are going to be spending time with her. Her loved ones are going to come up with an overdue needed plan to set her up for success for well being,” the statement read.

Spears shares sons Sean Preston and Jayden James with ex-husband Kevin Federline.

The arrest marked yet another setback for Spears, whose erratic social media presence has drawn concern from fans in the wake of her conservatorship ending in 2021.
