No Israel drug treatment for Amy Winehouse. A representative for the troubled singer has dismissed the reports that Amy is heading for Israel within the next few weeks to undergo treatment at the Barzilai Medical Centre.

The Jewish Chronicle reported Friday, May 23 that the Barzilai Medical Centre has agreed to treat Amy to get sober following a request from her management. The Jewish Chronicle, additionally, also quoted Eliezer Cohen, chairman of the Israel Anti-Drug Authority, as saying "They spoke to a renowned Israeli institution and an Israeli professor who conducts a very special and effective method. She has requested to come to him to do this method, since it's a method that is suitable for her."

It was claimed that the rehabilitation program at the center will cost the songstress 6,400 pound sterling or $12,800. It was further reported that Amy was about to be treated by Dr. Andre Waismann, who serves as the head of the opiate-dependency unit at the ANR clinic at the Barzilai Medical Centre in Ashkelon, and would receive 36 hours of treatment.

Nevertheless, Amy's management dismissed the report as "nonsense". Chris Goodman, a spokesman for the singer, insisted she had "no plans" to travel to Israel. "These are just old rumors," he said. "She's going back in the studio and has absolutely no plans to go abroad for treatment."
