BANGKOK, July 19, 2012 (AFP) - Troubled British rock star Pete Doherty has been thrown out of an exclusive drug treatment centre in Thailand for failing to show he is ready to kick his heroin habit, the clinic said Thursday.

The Libertines' former frontman, who once dated supermodel Kate Moss, was asked to leave The Cabin -- a $12,000-a-month centre in northern Chiang Mai -- after three weeks of treatment.

British press reports said Doherty had been thrown out for disruptive behaviour, claims denied by the centre which said he was simply not ready to complete the rehab course and was discharged on Tuesday.

"It is important to maintain the integrity of the treatment programme for the other clients to have a good chance of recovery," said Alastair Mordey, part of The Cabin's counselling team.

"Pete understands this and therefore the reasons behind why we have asked him to leave.

"Although our parting with Pete is amicable, we are of course disappointed to see him leave. We hope some of the things he has learnt here will help him in the future and look forward to the day when Pete decides to consider recovery again."

Doherty cancelled several high-profile gigs to enter The Cabin's renowned drug addiction courses, which include intensive therapy, meditation and outdoor activities such as white-water rafting.

The famously dishevelled songwriter, who has maintained a wide fan base despite being jailed several times in Britain for drug possession, has tried to kick his longstanding habit on numerous occasions.

In May the hell-raising 33-year-old appeared at the Cannes festival in his first film role -- as a debauched young man in 19th-century France.

what a wreck!

[Jingthing]

He must have been really, really bad for them to throw out a 12K USD per month customer. Oh well!

[GentlemanJim]

Give him a kilo of H, a locked room and a needle and let him get on with it! People like this do not deserve to be in the public eye, nor have any fame or attention dished out on them. He was/is a crap singer who came to fame because he dated a beautiful model, it is this fact and his notoriety and bad behaviour that led to him being able to charge high fees for his attendance at events, in no way should an oxygen thief like this be able to afford a 12K a month rehab clinic. There are better people living on the streets of London this very day that deserve a fraction of the opportunities this clown has been given.

Agreed, also all alcoholics should be tied up and have booze poured down their throat until dead.

[OzMick]

Kate Moss - I wonder what they had in common?

Not to worry. I'm sure the RTP could provide a rehab cell at a much lower rate. On second thoughts, he has enough money, so after parting with some of it, they will most likely let him get back to killing himself (not so) slowly.

If not, then get a life. Next thing you will be suggesting all smokers are made to chain-smoke until they get cancer or all homesexuals to stop using condoms until they catch AIDS. Maybe all wan#ers should be made to masturbate until they explode.

The smokers idea isn't bad at all, well done! A drug addict, is a drug addict.

Don't bring homosexuality into it though... apples and oranges.

If we killed all the wanke_rs, the human population expire in 100 years, max!

" 'It is important to maintain the integrity of the treatment programme for the other clients to have a good chance of recovery," said Alastair Mordey, part of The Cabin's counselling team."

I have worked as a therapist and consultant at a few very reputable rehabilitation programs and the number one rule in every one of them was to maintain the integrity of the program by keeping all clients' names and information anonymous. The answer to any inquiries was "I am unable to divulge any information about whether someone is or is not enrolled in our program." Had Mr Mordey worked for any of those programs and made the unprofessional and unethical statement above, his services would have been terminated immediately.

It appears that the leak of Mr. Doherty's participation was more about publicity for the clinic than to serve any benefit for the client. I am sure that information would have become public without Mr. Mordey's statement. Of course that is if anybody really cared about it.

The monk rehabs like Wat Tham Krabok and similar that have been going since the 1950s, with their intense purge-vomiting and serious hardship treatment, is the way to go. If this guy is in Thailand for rehab that is where he should be. The expensive comfortable clinics are not what everyone needs.

The monks rehab is pretty much free, except for donations or small fees. The incentive to quit is that the cathartic shock of purge vomiting, that puts a sort of permanent mental block associated with the drug part of their life and the resulting purge experience, which is permanently ingrained in the person's subconscious. There is a fail rate but the secret is to go back until it works. I know people who did the purge vomiting when they kicked heroin here in 1984. I went up to visit them at the temple gates before and after treatment and it was like meeting a different person.

you might be surprised at who would be considered an alcoholic - unless you totally don't drink alcohol you might be included

[Pseudolus]

He just wanted to get into the papers again so checked in, realised he did not get the publicity so got himself kicked out. Sad tale of someone dying to be famous. Hope he hurry's up and meets his destiny soon to avoid further pain and anguish to his family; they will get over bereavement a lot quicker than watching his demise.

Don't be so hard on my Petey. He's just misunderstood.

[Scott]

A lot of people who do not drink are alcoholics.

I hope he beats his demons. Addiction is a horrible disease.

Ok, so now we know you are attracted to chinless guys with bad teeth and b.o.

Just goes to show, that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

The man is a shamblesm and an emotional baby to boot. It's just a baby shambles.......

Sir Elton John had it right on the type of rehab some people need. Sir Elton said that the best thing that happened to him was a tough course of rehab where he had no celebrity special treatment and where he was expected to help clean the facilities including the scrubbing of floors.
