RadarOnline.com can exclusively reveal why she made the decision to leave the treatment center earlier than planned.
"Cate got permission to go home a few days early," a source close to Lowell and her husband Tyler Baltierra told RadarOnline.com. "She wants to be home for a while before getting ready for the reunion."
The Teen Mom OG reunion films Saturday, March 3 and Sunday, March 4 in New York City.
"She wants to be able to catch up with her co-stars Maci Bookout and Amber Portwood," the insider claimed. "She also wants to get her wardrobe prepped."
Lowell was also eager to be reunited with her 3-year-old daughter Nova.
"She's happy to see Nova," the insider said. "Nova was ecstatic to see her."
On this week's Teen Mom OG, Lowell suffered a miscarriage. The loss caused her to enter rehab on November 17 for suicidal thoughts.

RadarOnline.com previously reported that the couple was hesitant to attend the reunion special.
