A source tells the publication that Zeta-Jones was planning to return to treatment as a way for doctors to monitor her medication.

'There was no big problem,' insisted the insider. 'This was just a good time to do it. She is in between projects. This has always been part of the plan. She would manage her health. She is vigilant about it.'

Another source also told TMZ she has not had a relapse, adding: 'It's maintenance.'
