Michael Lohan says he's moving to California to open a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center, he told RadarOnline.com.
"Yes, it's, true, I'll be running it," Lohan told us in an exclusive interview. "I think it's time that Dina and I both step out of the media for a while, and for me that means getting back to what I know best -- helping people with addiction."

Michael says the rehab center is being backed by "a really well known person" but says he can't disclose yet who it is.
"But I have my entire team of therapists in place and the financing is done. We're still negotiating the location," he told RadarOnline.com.

I think he would have a successful career he is much more credible than Dr Drew. Michael Lohan is not my cup of tea but I do think he is on to something that is sorely needed. Dr. Drew is only a TV producer w/o medical education

He's blowing smoke again. He has no education & no credentials. Does he even have a job? How does he earn any money? He & his entire family's lives are a mess & he's gonna help others? What a joke this guy is.
