Demi Lovato, currently under treatment for "emotional and physical issues" at a medical center in Chicago, hopes to be home for Thanksgiving.

A source tells E! News that the Disney star is "getting better."

"She doesn’t want to be in the center for Thanksgiving and wants to go home," the source adds.

Demi is not expected to resume work immediately following her release from the treatment facility.

A Disney source tells E! News that the channel doesn’t expect the Sonny with a Chance star to return to the TV show till New Year. They don’t want Demi to resume work till she is ready.

To fill in for her absence, Disney has spun a new plot from within the TV show that doesn’t involve Demi.

Demi’s upcoming album, for which she has recorded four to five tracks, has also been shelved to give her time to recover.

"They’re still committed to her," the source said. "No one is abandoning her. But she is holding off on her music for a bit."
