Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Elden S. Fox has ordered Lindsay Lohan to complete a rigorous outpatient treatment program. This comes less than a day after Lohan was released from a treatment program at UCLA Medical Center only 22 days into a court-ordered three month treatment program.
Fox wants Lohan to have psychotherapy and addiction counseling several times a week until at least November. Under the judge’s modification of Lohan’s sentence, she will be required to have frequent drug testing. Fox is the judge who ordered Lohan’s release from the UCLA treatment program on Tuesday. His judicial order will also require Lohan to live in Los Angeles.
The judge dismissed two drug counts that Lohan had pleaded guilty to in 2007. Fox said Lohan, 24, will stay on supervised probation until November. Lohan’s early release from treatment follows reports that physicians treating her do not believe she suffers from previously diagnosed drug or psychiatric problems.
Lohan served only 13 days of a 90 day jail sentence for a probation violation stemming from a 2007 drunk driving and cocaine possession charge. After her release, Lohan entered the UCLA treatment program as ordered by the court. It was supposed to be a 90 day program.
In 2007, Lohan admitted an addiction to alcohol and drugs and went to treatment three times. The actress was ordered in May to wear an alcohol monitoring ankle bracelet. She was put in jail for missing many alcohol education classes as part of her probation.
Lohan’s career has been at a relative standstill for the past year.
