Amy Winehouse Goes To Drug Rehab… Again
Oh, Amy. Once again, she gave a somewhat rocky performance (at the V festival this time) and once again, she has been urged to turn it around and get drug treatment. Her destination? The Focus 12 Clinic in Suffolk, located a mere 15 miles from Highpoint Prison where Blake Fielder-Civil, her husband, is doing time for “grievous bodily harm and perverting the course of justice.” She reportedly is looking for a house in Suffolk as well so that she can be close to her husband. Codependency be damned. Drug addiction treatment is a great start.
Lots of Support for Drug Rehab
Apparently, Focus 12 Clinic was recommended to Amy by Russell Brand, a comedian who received treatment for his heroin addiction at the rehab center back in 2002. It’s been said that Brand put in a call to Chief Executive of Focus 12 Chip Somers to help Amy get a spot, and it worked. She’s all set to check in.
Amy’s father, Mitch, is supportive both of his daughter’s decision to enter into drug treatment but also to remain near her husband. He says, “This is a very good idea. If she can get clean and still see Blake it can only be good.”
Celebrity Drug Addiction: Encourages or Discourages Drug Abuse?
You go on YouTube and find videos of celebrities like Amy Winehouse behaving badly under the influence of drugs. You watch entertainment television shows and see Lindsay Lohan drunkenly stumbling and stuttering. Then you see the early deaths of celebs like Heath Ledger and Anna Nicole due to drug overdose.
Here’s my question: do you think this bad behavior comes off as “cool” to those who are experimenting or considering experimenting with drugs and alcohol? Or does the wrecked spectacle they create discourage people from following in their footsteps?
