In 2007, the actress checked herself into the Wonderland Center rehab facility for 30-days. She also voluntarily attended Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. After he first DUI, Lindsay Lohan spent 45 days at the Promises Treatment Center and after her second DUI, the actress spent six weeks at the Cirque Lodge Treatment Center in Sundance, Utah.
Her various treatments raise the question: Will Lindsay ever be clean from drugs? Her most recent court order to spend 90 days in rehab at the UCLA Hospital-affiliated facility stems from the actress violating her probation from her second DUI conviction. Last month, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel sentenced the actress to 90 days in jail along with the 90 days of rehab.
Many Los Angeles criminal defense attorneys, including Lindsay Lohan's lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley, say that the judge gave the actress a very tough sentence. In a statement the lawyer said that her client's sentence was "harsh and unfair."
When it comes to drug crimes, a Los Angeles criminal defense lawyer will often ask that a client enter rehab instead of going to jail. This is best for the defendants because they get a chance to attempt to come clean and aren't as limited as they would be in a jail cell.
