Pete Doherty, the on-off boyfriend of supermodel Kate Moss, is being treated for drug addiction at a clinic in Portugal, it was reported today. The 27-year-old Babyshambles frontman will have the drug naltrexone, which reduces the craving for heroin, implanted in his abdomen at the clinic at Oeiras, an oceanside suburb of Lisbon, the 24Horas newspaper said citing clinic sources.
Doherty arrived in Portugal on Tuesday and is being accompanied by a British doctor, it said. The troubled singer has repeatedly sought treatment for drug addiction before in Portugal as well as at clinics in England, France and Thailand.
He was arrested on suspicion of possessing crack cocaine earlier this month after he was spotted driving his Jaguar erratically near his home in East London. He was released on bail, along with a man and a woman who were in the car at the time, pending analysis of the substances recovered. All three were ordered to appear in court next month.
