Lindsay Lohan has admitted she failed a court-ordered drug test less than three weeks after being released from a rehabilitation program.

Despite earlier denials, Lohan posted on her Twitter late Friday: "Regrettably, I did in fact fail my most recent drug test."

She added, “Substance abuse is a disease, which unfortunately doesn't go away over night. I am working hard to overcome it and am taking positive steps forward every day. I am testing every single day and doing what I must do to prevent any mishaps in the future."

RadarOnline.com has learned the Mean Girls actress tested positive for cocaine last week.

Under the terms of probation set in August, Lohan would be sent back to jail for 30 days for retuning a dirty test.

Lohan said on Twitter that she was prepared to return to court and "face the consequences."

Considering that in the past she has never admitted to anything, may be this is a bit of progress to finally admit something is wrong. Truthfully, until she cuts her ties to her mom, I don't think she will ever really get better.

While she was in rehab the official story was that she was misdiagnosed and wasn't an addict. Now all the sudden she says "substance abuse is a disease". It probably isn't even her words. It came from her lawyer.

TRAIN WRECK. Lock her up for 6 months DON'T let her out early. Then throw her in a hardcore rehab, not cush hotel like one for a FULL yr & she may stand a chance in living.

So sad.. she is STILL in denial.. and everyone around her still enables her..She is their paycheck..until
she realizes how deadly addiction is and removes all enablers(incl.family) she will not stay sober

Why wasn't she charged for hitting the baby carriage while driving?
She should face the same consequences as the rest of us - JAIL TIME, and that means the whole
sentence, not just a couple of weeks for a 3 month sentence.

She'd get over her disease if they threw her a** in jail for a year. The CA courts won't
do anything until she kills somebody. Even then, being a celeb, she'll only get 30 days.

“Substance abuse is a disease, I am working hard to overcome it and am taking positive steps every day".
Yep, she's got the spin down now to a fine art. Looks good in print. Not buying her B.S. though. Loser. Book 'em, Dano!!

The new manager probably wrote the tweet. If she really wanted to stop using drugs she would stop partying and stop hanging out with coke users. Duh! Not buying the managers new tactic lol
