Crackhead extraordinaire Pete Doherty checked into rehab last week for the umpteenth time. The singer reportedly entered the $600-per-day Cloud House clinic in Salisbury, Wiltshire, about two hours outside of London.
Doherty, who recently used the UK’s Daily Mirror to profess his love for on-off girlfriend Kate Moss, spent part of Friday in group therapy.
At the 38-bed facility, the singer is expected to do chores, called “Therapeutic Duties,” including vacuuming the lounge in the shared house or setting the table for dinner. He can also take part in Friday night sing-alongs with a band called Mustard Seed, who put “recovery lyrics to popular music,” according to the center’s Web site.
A friend tells People: “He really needs help, and we’re grateful he’s getting it.”
Doherty has battled drug addiction for years and has had numerous run-ins with police for drug offenses. In July he admitted in court to possessing quantities of crack cocaine, heroin, cannabis and ketamine as well as to two driving infractions.
This round of rehab comes on the heels of his arrest last week after police found drugs in his car. He escaped jail time thanks to a police foul-up technicality.

I’m so glad that they haven’t developed any kind of “smell-o-vision” yet. I’m pretty sure my nose would fall off my face if I had to smell that nasty guy.

Oh, for Gawdsake. Leave the guy alone. Can you imagine what it is like to have drug additions and to be hounded every minute of every single freaking day by paps?
Hell, that’d make me snort battery acid.
