Winehouse denies plans Israeli drug rehab plans

London (ANI): Troubled star Amy Winehouse has dismissed reports that she will be travelling to Israel for drug addiction treatment. The 'Back to Black' singer, who was recently photographed apparently smoking crack cocaine, was allegedly planning to undergo a 6,400 pounds operation to kick her well-documented habit. According to the Jewish Chronicle, the treatment was to take place at the Barzilai Medical Centre following a request from the 24-year-old singer's representatives. Her management has dismissed the report as "nonsense", however, Eliezer Cohen, the chairman of the Israel Anti-Drug Authority, told the newspaper: "They spoke to a renowned Israeli institution and an Israeli professor who conducts a very special and effective method."
