Amy Winehouse: Addiction treatments

Amy Winehouse began a treatment programme at the Priory Clinic in May

Singer Amy Winehouse's struggle with addiction to drink and drugs has been well-documented.

In an interview at the Mercury Prize ceremony in 2007 she spoke about her rehabilitation.

"I'm of the school of thought where, if you can't sort something out for yourself, no one can help you," she said.

"Rehab is great for some people but not others."

Here is a look at some of the treatment she received over the past few years
