LOS ANGELES (AP) — Lindsay Lohan has checked into a rehab and will not face a probation violation for leaving another treatment facility after a few minutes, a prosecutor said Friday.
Santa Monica Chief Deputy City Attorney Terry White said he has received confirmation that Lohan has checked in to a rehab facility and he is satisfied with her location. He declined to say where Lohan is receiving treatment, but a source close to the actress who was not authorized to speak publicly said she has checked in to the Betty Ford Center in Rancho Mirage, Calif.
The "Liz & Dick" star is required to spend 90 days in rehab as part of a plea deal in a misdemeanor case filed after a June car accident.

I no longer feel sorry for this self-centered, out-of-control woman. Yes, addiction is horrible and hard to beat. But she has had so many chances, and is in no way remorseful, and has been caught again and again lying and cheating and trying to manipulate the system, or use whatever is left of her “star power” and looks to get a better deal. She needs a long stretch in jail, followed by a long stretch in a halfway house. Then she needs to get serious about a drug & alcohol program that will keep her sober after she is on her own again. Until then, screw her.
I actually live about 1250 miles from my nearest relatives, and maintain a pretty small circle of friends, but fortunately the compulsion and desire to drink has largely faded, but I know it's always lurking somewhere in the background like a caged rabid rat just waiting for the opportunity to get out; it's pretty good incentive to regularly and scrupulously inspect the cage to make sure it's in good working order.

She just wants to do what she wants, when she wants and to hell with the consequences.
Ah, well, yeah. In 2000 Linsay Lohan was 14. As a freshman in college you had a crush on a 14 year old? Ooookay!
What is sad is she really does have tome acting chops. She has really good comedic timing also. She is great in “Georgia Rule” and surprisingly so is “Hanoi Jane” playing her very stodgy, very Conservative Grandma!
I have been listening to a series on prayer by Charles Stanley. Talking about getting on your knees when that whispering in the ear starts, and as a child of God, the power He will surround you with cannot be overcome. Something to think about.
I only suffer from nail biting and chronic pain, so I can’t imagine the struggle of addiction. I raised my kids to understand that for hard drugs if you never try them you never battle the addiction, and for the socially acceptable drugs, don’t overindulge. We have been blessed in that department.
Gee whiz, will you get a grip?
He posted a pic from 2003 (that could be considered in the early 2000's) when LL would have ben 17 or 18 and stated he had a crush on her as a college freshman. Most college freshmen are 18 years old when they start their freshman year. What in the world is so problematic for you for an 18 year old to have a crush on a 17 or 18 year old??
It was 2004
And yes I realized a posted a pic from 2003, I estimated the time, sorry if I wasn’t a 100% correct on the matter.
Classic description of an alcoholic. Been there, done that. (except for the looks and star power) This is EXACTLY the way we behave(d).
David Crosby basically admitted that he would have been dead years ago had he not finally been sent to jail for drugs.
Lindsay, no one can defeat your demons except you.
Not guilty!
"Horrible and hard" does not even scratch the surface.
I have seen addiction cripple even the most hard working, intelligent and strong people. It is truly a mental illness where nothing else matters to the person except for that substance or behavior. Not their children, not their friends, not even themselves. I've seen people lose all their teeth, organs and body parts to addiction and still not stop. Formerly good husbands smoking crack in the basement while their family is crying and being evicted from their home. Men dressing up as women to sell themselves for dope.
Even if you are clean for decades, it still follows you around forever. Imagine the most charming and convincing salesman in the world sitting on your shoulder 24/7 and constantly telling you to do it “just one last time”. Constantly reminding you of how great giving in feels, rationalizing everything and helping you figure out how to lie/cheat/steal to get it. It truly is a form of “possession”.
IMO, there is no cure for many addicts and they can never be free. Nomatter how much jail, rehab, etc. The only way they stay on track is someone else watching 24/7 to keep them honest.
I agree with you as well.
