Los Angeles – Lindsay Lohan has checked into rehab. The move followed a weekend during which the wild-child actress crashed her Mercedes, was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence and was photographed closed-eyed and slumped in the passenger seat of a friend’s car.
The 20-year-old “admitted herself to an intensive medical rehabilitation facility” on Monday, according to a statement released by her publicist, Leslie Sloane Zelnick. This is Lohan’s second rehab stint this year. She said in January that she had checked into a rehabilitation center for substance-abuse treatment.
“It’s so weird that I went to rehab,” Lohan said in Allure magazine’s May issue. “I always said I would die before I went to rehab.”
Lohan was arrested Saturday morning on suspicion of driving under the influence after her car hopped a curb and hit a shrub on Sunset Boulevard.
Officers investigating the crash also found a substance tentatively identified as cocaine. The case remains under investigation. Her preliminary court date is scheduled for Aug. 24.
Lohan was back out on the town before the Memorial Day weekend was over. Photographers captured her slumped in the passenger seat of a friend’s car early Monday morning.
