Actress Drew Barrymore has offered advice to stars entering rehab.

Barrymore, who went into rehab at the age of 13, told Vogue: "If you don't pull it together for yourself, no one else will.

"That's coming from a person who had to try it all - and who still loves to have a good time."

Kirsten Dunst, Britney Spears and Amy Winehouse have all entered rehab recently and Barrymore believes that celebs should prioritise their work to help overcome addiction.

"I do believe in 'work hard, play hard', but 'work hard' always comes first. And it did, even when I was wild and young."

Barrymore is currently dating her He's Just Not That Into You co-star Justin Long.
