Washington
(ANI):
In
a
bid
to
finally
kick
her
drug
addiction,
Amy
Winehouse
will
be
flying
all
the
way
to
a
top
Israeli
rehab
centre.
The
troubled
singer
will
go
through
a
'very
short,
intensive
and
effective
treatment'
costing
12,800
dollars
within
the
next
few
weeks
at
the
Barzilai
Medical
Centre.
Eliezer
Cohen,
chairman
of
the
Israel
Anti-Drug
Authority,
has
claimed
that
the
clinic
agreed
to
treat
the
24-year-old
after
a
request
from
her
management.
"They
spoke
to
a
renowned
Israeli
institution
and
an
Israeli
professor
who
conducts
a
very
special
and
effective
method.
She
has
requested
to
come
to
him
to
do
this
method,
since
it's
a
method
that
is
suitable
for
her," Contactmusic
quoted
Cohen,
as
saying.
Winehouse
will
receive
36
hours
of
treatment
under
Andre
Waismann,
who
is
looking
forward
to
make
the
singer
drug
free.
"All
of
my
patients
are
discharged
healthy
and
no
longer
dependent.
There
is
a
misunderstanding
about
drug
addiction.
People
think
it
is
a
social
and
psychological
problem,
but
it's
a
neurological
problem,"
Waismann
said.
"Whether
it's
Amy
Winehouse
or
anyone
else,
it
is
a
privilege
to
be
able
to
treat
anyone
who
is
opiate-dependent,
and
allow
them
to
live
a
normal
life,"
he
added.
