YEREVAN, MARCH 19, ARMENPRESS: Lindsay Lohan's Monday (March 18) was a stress fest of hurry and wait, as the actress arrived 45 minutes late to court navigating Los Angeles rush hour traffic and diverted flights. Lohan agreed to a plea deal to avoid 6 months in jail, instead opting for a locked down rehab facility for 90 days, and to undergo 18 months of psychotherapy and do 180 hours of community service.
As reports Armenpress, referring to Interfax, Dr. Damon Raskin, who works as a consultant in Personalized Detox/Internal and Addiction Medicine with Cliffside Malibu Treatment Center, commented on what Linsday Lohan has in store for the next three months:
“In the case of Lindsay Lohan, she has gone through the residential rehab more than once, so the difference here is that she has a mandatory stay order for three months (90 days) which will be a more daunting achievement considering the time. What she can expect is a schedule of intensive psychotherapy, individual therapy and group activities that support healing and reinforce her therapies combined. She may need a detox, but of this I am not certain, not knowing her medical records. She will be drug tested regularly.”
“By the way, a locked down facility doesn’t necessarily mean jailed in dark and dingy treatment center with bars on the windows, she can still have all the amenities that are available at any five star facility, however, she will not be allowed to leave for the mandated 90 days,” he said.
Ms. Lohan pled no contest in Los Angeles Superior Court on charges of reckless driving and lying to cops stemming from the car crash she was involved in last June on the Pacific Coast Highway, on her way to the set of her TV movie, "Liz and Dick". She was alleged to be behind the wheel of the Porsche that hit the back of a truck and then claimed she was a passenger, not the driver. The truck driver whose vehicle was hit from behind, also appeared today in court.
