EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: Lindsay Lohan Arrives At Rehab Under Police Escort


Posted on Aug 02, 2010 @ 09:35AM - 18 comments

Lindsay Lohan arrived at the UCLA Medical Center to begin her court-ordered 90-day rehabilitation stint less than 20 minutes after she was released from the slammer — and RadarOnline.com has the exclusive video.

Lohan's motorcade consisted of a mini-van and two marked police cars.

A black SUV followed at distance, although Steve Whitmore, the Los Angeles County Sheriff Department’s spokesman, has declined to confirm whether Lohan’s mom Dina accompanied the transport.

Shortly after the convoy arrived at 1:54am PT, three more police cars arrived at the hospital and blocked off the entrance, as Lindsay checked into its substance abuse treatment center.

At the time, the hospital had a heavily increased security presence with both uniform and plain-clothed personnel.

Inside, the 24-year-old was placed under the supervision of the L.A. County Probation Department.

Earlier, Lohan was released from the women’s correctional facility in Lynwood, California, at 1:35am PT.

She managed to leave sight unseen and was spirited out a back entrance.

"She has been sent directly to her next destination, which is a treatment center... this concludes her custody," Whitmore told waiting media, outside the jail.

While Lohan avoided the same infamous walk Paris Hilton made during her exit from the same jail in 2007, the Mean Girl star’s release was not without its own drama.

In an elaborate plot to diffuse media interest, two black Cadillac Escalades drove from Lynwood to the high-end residential facility Morningside Recovery in Orange County, where Lohan had been slated to check-in.

They were followed by paparazzi, who remained camped outside the facility early Monday.

Lohan was expected to check into Morningside until Judge Marsha Revel made a last minute change of heart over the weekend, as RadarOnline.com was first to reveal.

"There was concern that [Morningside Recovery] was not a secure enough facility," District Attorney spokeswoman Jane Robison told PEOPLE.

Robison added Judge Revel was concerned that drugs could be easily passed onto the actress.

Lohan served 13 days of a 90-day sentence for violating terms of her probation in a DUI case.

Her early release was due to good behavior and overcrowding in the L.A. jail system.

She is required to remain clean and sober until August 2011, when her probation term ends and will be subject to a year of random drug testing.

Violation of the terms of her probation could have her sent back to jail.

UCLA has an established celebrity past: Britney Spears had an extended stay there in 2008 after first being transported there for treatment and evaluation during a 72-hour emergency hold.

EXCLUSIVE DETAILS: Life Inside Lindsay Lohan's Rehab Center


Posted on Jul 30, 2010 @ 12:55PM - 11 comments

When she is released from Lynwood Detention Center, Lindsay Lohan will be staying at Morningside Recovery in Newport Beach, California, RadarOnline.com exclusively revealed on Friday and we now have inside details on what life will be like for her during her stay.

When she is released from Lynwood Detention Center, Lindsay Lohan will be staying at Morningside Recovery in Newport Beach, California, RadarOnline.com exclusively revealed on Friday and we now have inside details on what life will be like for her during her stay.

Cash-strapped Lindsay will be paying $36,500 for her 90-day stay, which is a bargain price compared to the $60,000 that she is rumored to have paid for each of her last three rehab stints. A source tells RadarOnline.com that the average price for treatment is $75,000.

The former fashionista will be allowed to pack enough clothes for two weeks including indoor and outdoor clothing, personal products (soap, shampoo, toothbrush, etc.), blow dryer, gym clothes, bathrobes and an iPod.

EXCLUSIVE: Lindsay Lohan To Check Into Morningside Recovery

Lindsay will have to be careful about what pills she packs. Banned substances include any medications that aren’t pre-approved or without prescription, over the counter medications and anything alcohol-based – even mouth wash!

Following her multiple DUI arrests, Lindsay won’t be allowed to have a car or motorbike with her during her stay.

The facility is separated into houses overseen by a House Parent. After living alone in solitary confinement at Lynwood, Lindsay now may be sharing a bedroom and sleeping in a single bed. Each house has a fully equipped kitchen and TV room (that can only be watched during scheduled hours), and the residents are assigned special daily chores along with keeping their own bedrooms clean.

After being used to partying until all hours, Lindsay will be held to a strict 10 pm curfew in the week and 11 pm on weekends. There’ll also be no swanky sushi dinners – her food allowance is $75 per week in the form of a Vons grocery store card in order to “teach important life skills of responsibility, budgeting, and meal planning,” says the facility.

Residents are not allowed to spend it on tobacco or alcohol – but Lindsay will still be able to smoke cigarettes outside in certain designated areas.

Lindsay will have more freedom than in Lynwood but won’t get her beloved Blackberry back for two weeks and after that usage will be restricted. She will be allowed her laptop though, so look out for her on Twitter!

Along with the food allowance, residents are allowed $40 a week spending money so they can go shopping for personal items, but all trips must be approved and supervised.

The facility has a ‘Money on the Books’ program, which encourages residents to put down $1500 that can be dipped into for medication, special counseling, haircuts, manicures, theater and movie tickets, and psychological treatment.

Hardly known as a fitness fanatic, Lindsay is expected to workout during her stay and will be given passes to the local 24 Hour Fitness for scheduled gym time four times a week, plus an optional Sunday run .

Fans will be happy to hear that residents can receive mail but all packages are inspected for alcohol, drugs and drug paraphernalia and pornography.

While certainly not under lock and key, residents can request passes to leave with seven days notice as long as they are staying with responsible sober people and detail the date and time of leaving and returning.

Unlike prison, Morningside is not all work and no play – Lindsay can pay to join in group activities like go-carting, yoga, surfing softball, movies, deep sea fishing – and even trips to Disneyland!
