NEW YORK- Although official autopsy results haven't been revealed in the death of Amy Winehouse, one thing that the world does know: addiction problems plagued this young, talented musician.

The death of Ms. Winehouse has shown the world that addiction problems are a global issue, not isolated to any particular geographical area or specific demographic profile. It's a problem that the world must conquer, together.

“The death of Amy Winehouse brings addiction to the forefront and the attention of the world,” begins a spokesperson for Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center. “While the cause of her death isn't fully known, her addiction struggles have been public knowledge for several years. Her death is a terrible tragedy and shows the importance of keeping the lines of communication open with young people about the dangers of alcohol and drugs. Nowadays, the very individuals who young people idolize are often those who, by chance, get caught up in the cycle of addiction. It shows that no one is beyond the deadly reach of drugs and alcohol.”
