The chairman of Israel’s Anti-Drug Authority claimed Amy Winehouse made plans to fly to his country to seek help for drug addiction. Although Amy has yet to confirm these plans, Eliezer Cohen told the Sun that Amy will undergo “very short, intensive and effective treatment.”
He adds: “Amy’s people 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.”
Andre Waismann, who will treat Amy, said: “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.
“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.”
I remember hearing rumors earlier this year about Amy going to Israel for rehab, but they never panned out. I’m kind of skeptical this time.
