KATE MOSS:FASHION VICTIM CHECKS INTO REHAB

Kate Moss, the troubled model whose is facing the cocaine abuse, is checking into an American clinic to overcome her addictions.

Earlier this month, Moss, 31, was caught on tape "hoovering up" lines of cocaine, according to London's Daily Mirror, which published the images in a scathing exposé after conducting an underground investigation into Moss' activities.

Britain's Sky One has announced plans to air the footage of Moss snorting the drug--reportedly five lines over the course of 45 minutes--as part of an upcoming documentary, which will supposedly offer a balanced debate over the role of the media and the fashion industry and examine whether Moss will be able to continue her career.

Friends say that she has flown to the Meadows Clinic in Phoenix, Arizona, where she will stay for a month under "medical treatment and therapy."

This comes as Moss, 31 who try this as being be the first step to winning back the lucrative modelling contracts she has lost over the past ten days.

Moss has lost a series of high profile contracts with luxury purveyors such as H&M, Chanel and Burberry. Cosmetics giant Rimmel London announced it was reviewing its contract with the model and Roberto Cavalli distanced himself from her. Each contract lost is expected to cost Moss over $1 million.

The clinic, that costs $4,000 (£2,250) a night, has been used by models, comedians and sports stars with drug, drink or psychological problems.

The clinic has previously treated celebrities including Paul Gascoigne, Tara Palmer-Tomkinson and Michael Barrymore.

Moss will have none of the luxuries she is used to.She will have to share a room with other addicts and submit to the clinic’s tough regime.

Phone calls home – even to her three-year-old daughter, Lila – are banned, along with cigarettes.

The clinic offers help to “individuals seeking treatment for recovery from toxic and abusive living”.

Staff have no regard for celebrity status and the clinic does not just help the rich and famous – many of the US patients have their treatment paid by health insurance.

Former cocaine addict Palmer-Tomkinson has said: “It was hell – you have nothing with you, and no-one knows who you are, so I couldn’t even play on that. I was practically just a number.

Despite Moss' troubles, Doukas said the catwalker is close to signing a new contract to represent a luxury perfume.

Moss previously checked herself into rehab back in 1998, claiming she was suffering from "exhaustion." She later admitted she'd been hitting the bottle and getting high before hopping on the catwalk, but denied ever indulging in harder substances.

The model is the mother  of 3-year-old Lila Grace, her daughter with ex-boyfriend Jefferson Hack.

 Now time will tell whether it’s a publicity stunt to win back the lucrative contracts or Moss really comes out clean !!!
