Britney Spears is seeking treatment.

The pop star has “voluntarily” checked herself into rehab, her representative confirmed to multiple outlets on Sunday.

Spears’ decision comes five weeks after her March 4 arrest on suspicion of DUI in Ventura, Calif. She’s due back in court on May 4.

Celebrity Intelligence with Dan Wakeford was the first to report the news of Spears entering rehab. Representatives for Spears did not immediately respond to EW’s request for comment.

Last month, the singer’s rep called her arrest "an unfortunate incident that is completely inexcusable" and hinted that Spears might seek treatment.

“Britney is going to take the right steps and comply with the law and hopefully this can be the first step in long overdue change that needs to occur in Britney's life,” the rep said in a statement. “Hopefully, she can get the help and support she needs during this difficult time.”

In the days before she entered rehab, Spears was posting on Instagram as usual.

On Saturday, the troubled pop star uploaded a video dancing in a sheer black bodysuit while covering her breasts with her hands. Later the same day, she added another clip of pink flowers sitting in a bowl of water with the caption, "Touch."

Following her arrest, Spears posted a quick video with her youngest son Jayden Federline.

"Thank you guys for all your support… spending time with family and friends is such a blessing!" she wrote in the caption.
