Chiangrai TimesPete Doherty has been thrown off a Thai drugs rehab programme for being a disruptive influence on other addicts. Doherty cancelled a string of festival gigs to fly three weeks ago to a remote jungle clinic in Thailand in a last ditch attempt to rid himself of his crack cocaine and heroin addiction.

But the star is understood to have been so disruptive, drugs counsellors forced him to leave half-way through the intense treatment.

Father-of-two Doherty, 33, went to The Cabin, in Chiang Mai, Thailand escorted by his manager Andy Boyd and there were high hopes that finally he would be cured of his devastating drug addiction.

The Cabin has a high success rate with less than a dozen patients out of 300 being asked to leave in the last two years.

But today all hopes were dashed as it is believed the singer was flying from the remote location to Bangkok for a 10 hour flight to Heathrow and is expected to land at 7am tomorrow.

At first Doherty seemed to be responding to treatment but in recent days his behaviour became challenging.

The Cabin has a high success rate with less than a dozen patients out of 300 being asked to leave in the last two years.

For the last decade, Doherty has battled drug addiction and been in and out of rehab since as far back as 2004.

Recently he confirmed that he is still using heroin and crack cocaine.

Staff at the £7,200 a month Cabin put a diplomatic gloss on Doherty’s departure but couldn’t tolerate his disruptive behaviour.

Programme Director Alastair Mordey – himself a recovered addict said; ‘Pete was discharged today for therapeutic reasons.

‘It is important to maintain the integrity of the treatment programme for the other clients to have a good chance of recovery.

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

Since 2009 the Cabin has treated over 300 men and women from around the world with a programme completion rate of 96% and a recovery rate

He added: ‘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.’

Since 2009 the Cabin has treated over 300 men and women from around the world with a programme completion rate of 96% and a recovery rate amongst the highest in the world.

One former addict treated at the Cabin described the treatment and care as ‘fantastic.’

‘At some of the well known treatment clinics in the UK you are fleeced and you don’t get a lot of one to one and personal attention.

‘You develop an inner calm that helps you cope with the treatment programme.

A former staff member, who asked not to be named, said: ‘People at the clinic will be sad this has happened because they have such a good success rate. It’s almost unheard of for someone to leave mid-treatment.’

As part of his detox Doherty was undertaking a tailored exercise programme including yoga and pursuits such as elephant trekking as part of his treatment, along with in-house medical care and 24-hour nursing.

Comedian Michael Barrymore, who was treated at The Cabin earlier this year, has spoken out of his recovery and has now celebrated 6 months clean and sober. – Daily Mail
