Justin Bieber has opened up about the “scary” depths of his drug addiction and the extraordinary measures he’s taken to get healthy.

Justin Bieber has revealed his drug addiction was so bad he felt like he was “dying”.

The pop star, 25, said he would smoke marijuana and pop pills as soon as he woke up.

He told how he was dependent on marijuana at 13 – and later took other drugs including a codeine-based cocktail plus MDMA and mushrooms, reports The Sun.

“My security were coming in at night to check my pulse,” Bieber says in the YouTube documentary, Seasons.

“People don’t know how serious it got. It was legit crazy, scary.”

Bieber said he stopped as he feared he would die.

His doctor Daniel Amen says “he was a wreck” when he first met the star in 2014.

Bieber also said that: “Anti-depressants help me get out of bed.”

Bieber’s recovery routine now includes a hyperbaric chamber and endures IV infusions to rid his body of toxins following years of drug abuse.

The 25-year-old singer explained that he had been “struggling with a lot of anxiety” as he climbed into his own personal chamber during the 14-minute video.

“I’ve abused my body in the past and now I’m just in the recovery process trying to make sure I’m taking care of my body and taking care of the vessel that God’s given me,” he said.

In the documentary, Bieber explained how the hyperbaric chamber worked.

“It fills up with oxygen,” he said.

“I really have been struggling with a lot of anxiety. You get more oxygen to your brain so it decreases your stress levels. It’s pretty cool.”

“Mental health is so important to get on top of,” Bieber added. “If you have ADHD if you have … something and you don’t want to take medicine, I strongly believe in it.”
