EXCLUSIVE: Michael Lohan Tells Lindsay - "Sober House Is NOT Rehab"
Posted on Jul 16, 2010 @ 07:12AM
Lindsay Lohan may be trying to put off jail time by checking into a sober living facility, but it’s not good enough for her dad, Michael.
In an exclusive interview with RadarOnline.com, Michael Lohan says his daughter needs to GET sober before she lives sober.

“I’m happy that she’s taking positive steps, but a sober house is NOT a rehab and it does not detox someone off prescription drugs,” Lohan told RadarOnline.com. “It [a sober house] serves no purpose other than staying clean off non-prescription drugs and alcohol. In Lindsay’s case, the prescription drugs ARE the problem.”

Michael, who has long been adamant about keeping Lindsay out of jail, tells RadarOnline.com that he’s finally come to grips with Lindsay’s jail sentence. However he says he hopes Judge Marsha Revel will let Lindsay put it off just long enough to get clean and sober first.
“She needs to appeal her case, buy some time and detox off prescription drugs,” Lohan said. “Even if she can’t avoid jail, at least she will do her time completely clean and in the right frame of mind.”

My youngest brother had a drug problem for years. He ended up in prison for 6 months for breaking probation. He did a drug program in there and has been clean since. He doesnt want to go back. (cont)

It IS really pathetic that the crazy antics of the father are really the voice of reason.

All they do is sit around and talk. I think (not positive) they are even allowed time outside of the sober house. Her ass needs to do the time.

Look up this Pickford place on the internet, EVERYONE. IT looks like the freakin' W Hotel with flat screens, etc. Look at the 'lofts". Michael is right and i am disgusted again with lindsay trying to lie her way out of everything.
