Is Lindsay Lohan going back to jail?

Lindsay Lohan – Drug and Alcohol Addiction History

Lindsay Lohan is an actress, pop singer and model. She was born in 1986 and started as a child fashion model, making her movie debut in Disney’s 1998 remake of The Parent Trap at the age of 11. This led to her appearance on other films including Freaky Friday, Mean Girls, Herbie: Fully Loaded, A Prairie Home Companion and Bobby.

In 2007 she received two driving under the influence (DUI) tickets as well as three visits to drug rehab facilities.  This resulted in the loss of some movie deals. In 208 she appeared in the TV series Ugly Betty , in Labor Pains in 2009, and in Machete in 2010.

Lohan released the album Speak in 2004 with A Little More Personal (Raw) coming out in 2005.

In 2006 Lohan started to attend AA meetings brought about by heavy partying, and during the same month entered rehab (at the Wonderland Center )for the first time.  She checked out in February of 2007 after a 30 day stay.  After her first arrest for DUI she again entered rehab.

She entered the Promises Treatment Center in May of 2007 after being caught with cocaine during a DUI.  Upon release she had to wear a scram bracelet to monitor her sobriety.   During July of 2007 she was again arrested for DUI and she returned to rehab at Promises.  Two weeks after leaving Promises she was again arrested for DUI and possession of cocaine.

In August of 2007 she entered rehab at the Cirque Lodge Treatment Center in Utah.  She was there until release in October.  On August 23, 2007, she pleaded guilty to cocaine use and driving under the influence and was sentenced to one day imprisonment and 10 days’ community service, with 3 years probation.  At this time she issued a statement that she was addicted to alcohol and drugs.  After serving time she got an additional year of probation for missing court ordered substance abuse classes.

In May of 2010, Lohan failed to appear for a scheduled DUI progress report hearing.  The judge issued a warrant for her arrest.  This was later rescinded.   At a hearing on May 24, 2010 Lohan was instructed to attend weekly alcohol education classes, wear a monitoring bracelet, stop drinking alcohol, and undergo random weekly drug tests to remain free on bail.  The judge scheduled a hearing for July 6, 2010 to determine whether Lohan had violated probation by not having attended the required number of classes to date.

At the June 6 2010 hearing the judge determined that Lohan had indeed violated the terms of her probation and sentenced her to 90 days in jail, starting in July 2010.  He also ordered her to check into an inpatient rehab program for three months after her release from jail.  Starting July 20th Lohan spend 14 days in jail.  She then spent 23 of the expected 90 days in rehab.  She was instructed to submit to random drug and alcohol screenings as well as attend psychotherapy and behavior therapy twice a week, and also participate in five 12-step sessions a week.

On September 17 2010 it was confirmed that she had tested positive for drugs (cocaine and amphetamines) and faces a 30 day jail sentence.

Not too many drug-addicted celebrities bother to call a drug and alcohol hotline, which could have helped them through times of crisis.
