Winehouse's battles with substance abuse were the subject of much media attention. In 2005, she went through a period of drinking, heavy drug use, and weight loss. People who saw her during the end of that year and early 2006 reported a rebound that coincided with the writing of "Back to Black". Her family believes that the mid-2006 death of her grandmother, who was a stabilising influence, set her off into addiction. In August 2007, Winehouse cancelled a number of shows in the UK and Europe, citing exhaustion and ill health. She was hospitalised during this period for what was reported as an overdose of heroin, ecstasy, cocaine, ketamine and alcohol.

In various interviews, she admitted to having problems with self-harm, depression, and eating disorders. Winehouse told a magazine that the drugs were to blame for her hospitalisation and that "I really thought that it was over for me then." Soon afterward, Winehouse's father commented that when he had made public statements regarding her problems he was using the media because it seemed the only way to get through to her. In an interview with "The Album Chart Show" on British television, Winehouse said she was manic depressive and not alcoholic, adding that that sounded like "an alcoholic in denial". A US reporter writes that Winehouse was a "victim of mental illness in a society that doesn't understand or respond to mental illness with great effectiveness." In December 2007, Winehouse's spokesman reported that the singer was in a physician-supervised programme and was channelling her difficulties by writing a lot of music.

Carroll's mother was agoraphobic and suffered from borderline personality disorder, and two of Carroll's three brothers became methamphetamine addicts. Carroll herself suffered from acrophobia (the fear of heights) and stage fright, and began smoking a pack and a half of cigarettes daily at age 15, which continued until she was 42. Aside from the cigarettes, she remained a "kind of clean and sober straight-edge person," but when she started performing in drag clubs at age 21, she began abusing alcohol; she had her first drinks on her 21st birthday, consuming five and still not becoming intoxicated. The drinking became a daily ritual involving 1/5th of liquor a day or three bottles of wine.

(Winehouse was prevented from travelling to and performing at the Grammy Awards ceremony in the US due to failing a drug test.) In a newspaper commentary, the executive director of the UN Office on Drugs and Crime, Antonio Maria Costa, said that the alleged drug habits of Winehouse and other celebrities sent a bad message "to others who are vulnerable to addiction" and undermine the efforts of other celebrities trying to raise awareness of problems in Africa, now that more cocaine used in Europe passes through that continent. Winehouse's spokesperson noted that "Amy has never given a quote about drugs or flaunted it in any way.

The addiction later extended to other drugs such as oxycodone (Percocet). In 1995, her drug problems had developed to the point that she gave a "disastrous" performance at the Met in "Aïda", where she recalled that she could not hit a note at one point during the performance. The Met bought out her contract and dismissed her from the company.

She cancelled an upcoming tour and entered rehab. Cook later said, "I needed some help. I did not feel like rehab was what I needed and I tried to desperately convince some key people around me that in that moment I needed intensive therapy and I probably needed medication. They cancelled the tour and said you can't go because we don't trust the state that you're in. You're saying you're not addicted to anything and you're saying you don't have an eating disorder but we don't know that".

She voluntarily turned herself in and was held overnight. Police said, at her arrival she was "in no fit state" to be interviewed. Ten days later, Winehouse was arrested on suspicion of possessing drugs after a video of her apparently smoking crack cocaine was passed to the police in January, but was released on bail a few hours later because they could not confirm, from the video, what she was smoking. The Crown Prosecution Service considered charging her, but cleared her when it could not establish that the substance in the video was a controlled drug. Some members of Parliament reacted negatively.

On 23 June 2008, Winehouse's publicist corrected earlier misstatements by Mitch Winehouse that his daughter had early stage emphysema, instead claiming she had signs of what could lead to early-stage emphysema. Mitch Winehouse had also stated that his daughter's lungs were operating at 70 percent capacity and that she had an irregular heartbeat. He said that these problems had been caused by her chain smoking crack cocaine. The singer's father also reported that doctors had warned Winehouse that, if she continued smoking crack cocaine, she would have to wear an oxygen mask and would eventually die. In a radio interview, Mitch Winehouse said the singer was responding "fabulously" to treatment, which included being covered with nicotine patches.

British Lung Foundation spokesman Keith Prowse noted this type of condition could be managed with treatment. Prowse also said the condition was not normal for a person her age but "heavy smoking and inhaling other substances like drugs can age the lungs prematurely." Norman H. Edelman of the American Lung Association explained that if she stopped smoking, her lung functions would decline at the rate of a normal person, but continued smoking would lead to a more rapid decline in lung function. Winehouse was released from the London Clinic 24 hours after returning from a temporary leave to perform at Nelson Mandela's 90th birthday and at a concert in Glastonbury, and continued receiving treatment as an outpatient.

She also abused cocaine that she said "helped alcohol be more fun" and at one point weighed 357 pounds. She got sober with the help of Alcoholics Anonymous at age 31, but shortly thereafter relapsed. It would be years before she would get fully sober again; the precipitating event was an alcohol and cocaine bender she went on at a wrap party's open bar. The episode led to eight hours of vomiting—red wine, vodka, and the cocaine—which she ended up admitting to her therapist. The therapist said that next time this occurred, she wanted Carroll to go to proper rehab, but the idea was so "mortifying" to Carroll that she "threw" herself into four-phase "smart recovery, and therapy, and journaling, and all the self-care stuff [including] exercise." She stopped using alcohol and drugs in 2015 and quit cigarettes in October 2018.

Siddall travelled to Paris and Nice for several years for her health. At the time of her wedding, she was so frail and ill that she had to be carried to the church, despite it being a five-minute walk from where she was staying. It was thought that she suffered from tuberculosis, but some historians believe an intestinal disorder was more likely. Others have suggested she might have been anorexic while others attribute her poor health to an addiction to laudanum or a combination of ailments. She became severely depressed and her long illness gave her access to laudanum to which she became addicted.

In the film "Amy", director Asif Kapadia showed an interview with Mitch in which he explained that "he didn't believe [Winehouse] needed treatment [for her drug and alcohol addiction]". In an appearance on the British talk show "Loose Women", Mitch clarified the comments he made in the film, saying that Kapadia misinterpreted what he actually said to Winehouse: "[...] I say that Amy didn't need to go to rehab, right? What I actually said was — referring to 2005 — Amy didn't need to go to rehab at that point.

He talked openly in the music press about his problems, telling the "NME": "When I cut myself I feel so much better.

Drew Pinsky. Although she checked in for a five-day detox program, she ended up staying for nine and a half months. After finishing her treatment, she was taken aback when instructed to abstain from sex and relationships for a year, though she found that the 102 pounds she gained after quitting drugs facilitated this resolution, and allowed her to, as she put it, "find the inner foundation" that she had been denied when she became a working professional at age 14. During her "View" appearance, she stated that she was sober for "four years and a few months". Though Gimenez had never worked professionally in recovery, Drew Pinsky felt she was well-suited to the task of running the sober living facility depicted on "Sober House", explaining, "Sober houses are often run by recently sober people.

I [also] got hooked on meth and in order to get up and function, even play a show, I had to snort lines, you know. And I told myself, 'I'll do this tour, I'll do this Ozzfest, and I'll do meth the whole time and I'll go home and check into a rehab.' And it scared me, you know, 'cause I was like coming every month I would tell myself, 'I'm gonna stop this tour,' and I wouldn't be able to do it.

Hyland suffered several health ailments. While her husband Glen was still in a coma in 1957, she was found to have an ovarian tumor. She described herself as having been "on the ropes" from 1961–63, i.e., in and out of hospitals. Later on, during the 1970s, Hyland became vegetarian, but she found it odd that many religious groups that advocate vegetarianism, such as Jains, some Hindus and some Buddhists (including Assemblies of God and Seventh-day Adventists), frown on alcohol and other mind-altering substances as "carnal" or "unspiritual." However, according to Murthi, she admitted that her fondness for alcohol may have stemmed from her Irish Catholic upbringing.

The judge's sentence followed a plea to the court on her behalf from Drew Pinsky, where he stated that while the treatment she received while on the show was not adequate considering her level of addiction, he felt that she would have a better chance of recovery if she participated in a year-long treatment program. As part of her probation terms, instead of a possible ten-year prison stint, Sierra was also prevented from getting within 100 yards of a camera or microphone, a restriction that kept her from participating in the reunion episode of Celebrity Rehab 1 as well as in update interviews for American Idol Season 4's Rewind episodes.
