Kate Moss checks out of an Arizona rehab clinic one month after embarassing cocaine scandal

Kate Moss is headed back to the runway.

The supermodel checked out of an Arizona rehab facility earlier this week and plans to reunite with her 3-year-old daughter, Lila Grace, and get back to work, according to a rep from the Storm modeling agency.

Moss, 31, entered the Meadows Clinic outside of Phoenix last month, days after London's Daily Mirror published embarrassing photos of her "hoovering up" lines of cocaine at a late-night recording session for rocker-beau, Pete Doherty and his band, Babyshambles.

"Kate is in excellent spirits and looking forward to getting back to work. She would like to thank everyone for their messages of support as they have played a major part in helping her," a Storm spokesperson said in a statement.

The Daily Mirror's scathing expose threatened to derail the baby-faced catwalker's long career as several luxury purveyors, including H&M, Chanel and Burberry, canceled million-dollar contracts with her.

In the aftermath, Moss released a statement expressing regret over her behavior, apologizing to people she let down, and indicating she was taking action to address her personal problems, but stopping short of admitting her drug use.

Moss previously checked herself into a drug treatment center in 1998, claiming she was suffering from "exhaustion." She later admitted she'd been hitting the bottle and getting high before hopping on the catwalk, but denied ever indulging in harder substances.

Moss, whose longtime agent said she was "absolutely devastated" by the cocaine allegations, has her share of defenders, including fellow fashionista Naomi Campbell, who called the uproar a "vendetta" against her friend, and actress Sharon Stone, who said Moss' mess wasn't a big deal because she was owning up to her mistakes.

Unfortunately, the headlines of cocaine use by the celebrity have spurred a police investigation, and it's possible Moss may face questioning by authorities if she returns to Great Britain.

U.K. police also arrested Doherty, 26, and interrogated him for more than 12 hours after conducting a raid on the ex-Libertines front man and his group backstage at Music Hall in Shrewsbury, England, where Babyshambles was playing a gig.

Per the Guardian newspaper, investigators seized drugs including heroin, Ecstasy, LSD and cocaine. Doherty, who was released on bail, declared the matter afterward a "pain in the arse," before heading for a pub.
