# Britney Spears Enters Treatment Facility After DUI Arrest Britney Spears voluntarily checked herself into a treatment facility following her DUI arrest last month, a representative for Britney Spears confirmed to Page Six on Sunday. The 44-year-old singer was taken into custody in Ventura, California, on March 4 after authorities observed her swerving in and out of lanes.

Authorities discovered an unknown substance inside Britney Spears' car during the arrest, and they believe she was on a cocktail of alcohol and drugs at the time.

Spears was released the following morning after her arrest on March 4, according to arrest records from the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office. She is due back in court on May 4. A source close to Britney Spears stated that her entry into treatment was her own choice and is not about one substance in particular, with a dual purpose focused on her mental health.

# Family Support for Spears' Treatment Decision Britney Spears' whole family, including Jayden and Sean Preston, is supportive of her decision to enter treatment. Jayden James was spotted grabbing a smoothie from Erewhon in Los Angeles on Monday. Spears has been supported by both of her sons in the weeks following her arrest.

Jayden was the first of Britney Spears' two sons to reconcile with her in 2024 after being estranged for years. Sean Preston is 20 years old. Sean initially rejected Britney Spears' efforts to reconnect.

# Recent Family Reconciliation and Outings Britney Spears, Jayden, and Sean Preston went on a yacht getaway last month. Spears was spotted in Los Angeles for the first time since her DUI arrest earlier this month.
