More therapy ordered for Lohan
Lindsay Lohan has been ordered to meet with a therapist three times a week for the next 18 months following her stint in rehab.
The actress departed the Cliffside drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility in California on Tuesday (30 July) following a 90-day court-ordered stint, and her team at Cliffside have ordered the additional therapy for Lohan to avoid "almost certain failure" after she leaves rehab.
In a letter to Superior Court Judge James R. Dabney, Cliffside CEO Richard Taite wrote: "Our entire clinical team is in unanimous agreement that if these sessions are not required by the court and attendance verified once a month to ensure accountability, it is a setup for almost certain failure."
Taking the nature of her work into account, Lohan can have her therapy sessions telephonically or via Skype when she is away from home, the court said.
Meanwhile, Lohan’s lawyer Shawn Holley insists that the actress is determined to stay out of trouble, and has employed a sober coach to keep her on the straight and narrow.
She told E! News: "It was [Lohan’s] idea to have a sober coach with her. She is doing well. She is so positive and [wants to get] her life on the right track."
Meanwhile, Lohan’s father Michael says he is "very proud" of his daughter.
"I’m very, very proud of what she’s accomplished, how far she’s come and how seriously she’s taking her sobriety and her future," he said.
Lindsay was sentenced to 90 days treatment for substance abuse issues after pleading no contest to charges for lying to police about driving during a car crash in June 2012.
