Lohan Wants Lindsay Out Of Current Rehab Clinic

LINDSAY LOHAN’s father MICHAEL wants the actress to be moved to a different rehabilitation centre - because he’s convinced she won’t recover if she’s still given prescription medication.

The Mean Girls star checked into the Betty Ford treatment clinic in southern California on Tuesday (28Sep10), four days after posting $300,000 (£200,000) bail to walk free from jail after failing two mandatory drug tests.

But Michael Lohan, who has previously been treated at the same centre, is adamant the actress won’t overcome her drug issues unless she is moved to a more strict facility.

And he’s particularly concerned because late model/actress Anna Nicole Smith, who died in 2007 from a prescription drug overdose, also tried to overcome her problems at Betty Ford unsuccessfully.

He tells UsMagazine.com, “Look at the ’short’ list of people who went to Betty Ford - most, if not all, have relapsed. I went there myself, and I will tell you, Betty Ford is a country club. They administer prescription meds and even put their patients on prescription meds. Once more, they don’t have family therapy at all. The root of her problems is her family. This will not work - mark my words!”

Lohan insists he’s relieved “to know Lindsay is in a safe place and away from her enablers” but adds, “If Betty Ford gives her any prescription drugs, they become another enabler. Back to square one!”
