Jazz queen Billie Holiday turned to heroin. In 1946, she tried to kick her habit with the "help" of psychiatrists, paying $2000a huge sum at that timefor a 3-week stay in a mental health sanatorium. Psychiatrys "treatment" failed her. Within a year she was arrested on drug charges and her cabaret card, needed to perform in New York, was cancelled. She died while under house arrest in a city hospital.
