Selena Gomez has spoken to the press since leaving rehab in January, but at the time, few knew the 21-year-old singer had just completed a two-week treatment program in Arizona. Gomez addressed the revelation for the first time in an Instagram caption Monday, writing, "I've done everything I could to the best of my ability. Thank you for the unconditional love and cyber hugs. You inspire me."

The former Disney Channel star was admitted to Arizona's Dawn at the Meadows on Jan. 5. After leaving the facility, she flew to Utah to promote Rudderless at the Sundance Film Festival on Jan. 20. The next week, she hit up the Beats Music party and the Hollywood Stands Up to Cancer benefit.

Demi Lovato, who has battled substance abuse and eating disorder issues in the past, supported Gomez's decision to seek help during a recent E! News interview. "I've known her for 14 years and we've been best friends," the 21-year-old singer-songwriter said of the Spring Breakers star. "That's all of her business, and I just want to let her do her thing. And yeah, she's amazing. I love her."

Joe Jonas echoed Lovato's sentiments while chatting with E! News during New York Fashion Week: "I want her to succeed and I want her to be happy!" the former Camp Rock star said Saturday, Feb. 8.
