    Disheveled ex-Libertines rocker and former BF of model Kate Moss -that'd be Pete Doherty- has been tossed from a Thai rehab treatment center, a mere few weeks after starting intensive treatment to beat his longterm drug addiction.

    Doherty, who has been addicted to heroin and crack over the years, checked into The Cabin in Chiang Mai at the end of June and was escorted to the facility by his manager Andy Boyd.

    He was asked to leave after three weeks after rumors sprang that he was disturbing other patients.

    Program director Alastair Mordey told The Daily Mail that "Pete was discharged today for therapeutic reasons. It is important to maintain the integrity of the treatment program 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. 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."

    That doesn't sound like he was being a pain in the ass...But do we really need press statements on someone's drug treatment?

    Good luck to Pete Doherty, wherever he lands next.

    Are you a Pete Doherty fan? Will he beat his addictions?
