Even celebs gone bad get to go home for the holidays.
Demi Lovato, who has been in a treatment facility since early November, was granted time away from the undisclosed center to spend with family, a source told RadarOnline.com.
Lovato, who is rehabbing for "emotional and physical issues," was permitted to spend "Christmas with her family outside of the facility," the source told the website. "She will return to the treatment center that [same] night."
This gives the fallen Disney starlet, 18, exactly 24 hours to spend quality time with stepfather Eddie De La Garza, mother Dianna and sister Madison De La Garza.
The singer/actresses' brief escape from rehab comes just days after she reached a financial settlement with Alex Welch, the back-up dancer whom Lovato tussled with in October.
"The parties are satisfied and the dispute has been resolved amicably and completely," Welch's lawyer told TMZ.com.
When Lovato reemerges from rehab for good, however, she'll find that some consequences of her actions are beyond financial repair.
The Disney show that launched her career, "Sonny with a Chance," will film several new episodes without her, though she is also rumored to be joining the cast of "The Avengers" movie, which will start filming in April.
If that casting news is true, it looks like her new year will be brighter than the way she ended 2010.
