Heather Locklear will be moved to a long-term care facility, after fears of an overdose earlier this week.

The former Melrose Place star was recently released on bail after she was arrested for allegedly attacking a police officer.

TMZ later stated she had been hospitalised after officials were called for ‘someone overdosing at her California home’.

And the publication now states an insider told them the 56-year-old has voluntarily agreed to check in to the facility for treatment.

A source told the site that doctors at the hospital conducted ‘a battery of tests’ that have painted a clear picture of her problems.

They claim Heather has been ‘cooperative’ so far and agreed to enter the long-term facility off her own accord.

Her family are now ‘holding their breath’ and hoping she stays committed to rehabilitation.
