Rehab Becomes Reality for Singer Winehouse

A family feud has prompted "Rehab" singer Amy Winehouse to seek help for her drug addiction problems, reports Brit tabloid The Mirror. The 23-year-old British performer and her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, confessed to their escalating addictions to cocaine, heroin, and alcohol to his parents on Friday. This confession followed on the tail of Winehouse's Wednesday collapse. The singer was rushed to the hospital after reportedly taking a dangerous cocktail of cocaine, heroin, ecstasy, and alcohol.

But after Friday's admission to Georgette Civil and her husband, Giles Fielder-Civil, the couple were back to their wild ways. Winehouse's best friend, Juliette Ashby, discovered bits of burnt foil, which she suspected were the remnants of a heroin bender. She spilled the beans to both Blake's and Amy's families, leading to a confrontation the next day. When Winehouse's father Mitch learned of his daughter's problems, he grew upset and blamed her husband. And when Fielder-Civil's step dad Giles stepped up to defend him, Winehouse's dad turned on him. At one point, reports The Mirror, he had his hands around Giles Fielder-Civil's neck and was threatening to rip his head off.

The explosive confrontation appears to have been the turning point for Winehouse, who was reported to be broken-hearted at the sight of her family being torn apart. She and her husband, who were married earlier this year, agreed to enter treatment at an undisclosed location. Some reports claim that the singer and her man are being treated in the U.S.A., while others believe that she is receiving help in the U.K.
