Lindsay is out after Rehabilitation

Lindsay is out after Rehabilitation Lindsay Lohan, the ‘Mean Girls’ star who was undergoing exclusive detoxification since August has reportedly checked out of the Cirque Lodge Treatment Centre in Utah on Friday.

Her father, Michael Lohan, was seen carrying her suitcases as she left the clinic. "I will be there in her life as best I can but from here on she's going to have a lot of decisions to make on her own," he said. "Now that she is going out into the world, I can only hope for the best."

A source revealed that she had extended her stay at least once, and may return for outpatient treatment.

Lindsay's mother, Dina said she was proud of her daughter. "She's moving ahead with her life. Things were getting out of control. She took action. She took responsibility. She really needed to heal."

Rehabilitation of the actress also involved a reunion with her estranged father. Lindsay, who had been at odds with her father, was due to spend five days with him at a remote lodge in the Utah Mountains as part of her recovery.

The Dad-daughter had reportedly met twice while LiLo was at the Utah center, during her third stint of rehab this year. In early September, People’s magazine reported that the actress had recently seen her dad for the first time since he was released from prison in March.

Only two weeks after leaving a rehab centre, the 21-year-old actress was arrested on July 24 this year for drunken driving and suspicion of drug possession following a wild car chase through Santa Monica, Calif.

She pleaded guilty and was sentenced to one day in jail; 10 hours of community work and to complete a drug-treatment program. LiLo, on probation for 36 months, is required to complete an 18-month alcohol-education program.

She has also been fined hundreds of dollars in fines and has been ordered to visit a morgue and talk to victims of drunken drivers. She will not have to stand trial.

Resuming work, the actress is to start filming ‘Dare to Love Me’ in Los Angeles on Oct. 15.

"Lindsay will start her life over," said a source. "She's gotten rid of the people around her who were bad influences."
