An insider told the US outlet that Elijah is "very lucky to have survived".
Cher is said to be focused on "doing everything she can to get him the help he needs".
Elijah's history of substance abuse has been public after Cher filed for a conservatorship to control access to his money in 2023.
The pop icon claimed her son was "substantially unable to manage his own financial resources due to severe mental health and substance abuse issues."
Elijah's dad is the late Gregg Allman.
He is also believed to have suffered from substance abuse issues which doctors say may have led to his death from liver cancer in 2012.
Elijah, who followed in his mom's footsteps to become a musician, is one of six siblings.
He was a part of the rock band Deadsy for 28 years as the lead guitarist before stepping away from the group in 2023.
He is currently going through a divorce from his estranged wife, Marieangela King, according to court documents obtained by Page Six.

Woke madness continues as classic Shakespeare play slapped with trigger warning because it featured violence and death
ROMEO and Juliet has been hit with a trigger warning — with audiences informed it featured violent scenes and death. Shakespeare's classic 16th-century love story has been 'retold' as a modern ballet. 1 William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet has been hit with a bizarfre trigger warning Credit: Alamy But London's Royal Opera House deemed it necessary to warn potential visitors the production includes themes of 'violence and death'. Sir Ian McKellen, who has appeared in Romeo and Juliet productions throughout his career, previously hit out at 'ludicrous' warnings. He said: 'I quite like to be surprised by loud noises and outrageous behaviour on stage.' It comes four years after The Globe in London warned of 'upsetting' themes in the play, and provided a number for The Samaritans. They were even provided a number for the Samaritans for after the show. Actor Christopher Biggins said: 'Do we have to have signs for everything under the sun? 'It's a joke. What they are trying to do is insulting to the mentality of theatre-goers.' The Globe has also warned about themes of 'violence, sexual references, misogyny and racism' in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, as well as 'anti-semitism' in The Merchant of Venice. In February, the University of the West of England slapped over 200 trigger warnings on Shakespeare's work - including 'bad weather' in The Tempest. The Royal Opera House was asked to comment.

BREAKING NEWS Cher's son Elijah Blue Allman, 48, is RUSHED to hospital after overdose
Cher 's troubled son Elijah Blue Allman reportedly overdosed in Southern California over the weekend. A source revealed to TMZ that the legendary performer's youngest child, 48, who she shared with the late Gregg Allman, 'was rushed to the hospital in Joshua Tree, California, after overdosing earlier Saturday morning.' The outlet also reported that it is unknown 'what drugs he was using' and that he is 'receiving the best care possible.' The insider added Allman is 'very lucky to have survived.' At this time, his mother is focused on 'doing everything she can to get him the help he needs' and only concerned for her son's well-being. Back in 2014, Allman revealed he began using drugs, like weed and ecstasy, at just 11 and detailed some close calls when it came to overdosing. 'I [was] just looking to escape all the things in my past and, that's when you turn to those kind of drugs, you know heroin and opiates,' he told ET. '[Heroin] kind of saved me … If I didn't have that at that point, I don't know what I would have done …You may jump off a bridge. If you can only just go through that time period and live through it and then get help.' Allman also revealed he had 'some close calls and some moments of really feeling at the edge of mortality.' 'I always kind of kept it a little bit safe but you never can do that,' he explained. 'Even though you think that in your mind, of course the wrong things can happen. The wrong combination of things can happen and you can just slip into the abyss. I knew it was wrong and I knew that I was very unsatisfied with life at that point.'
