Lohan under ‘cocaine dependence’ treatment
October 12th, 2010 - 2:14 pm ICT by IANS
London, Oct 12 (IANS) Actress Lindsay Lohan is reportedly being treated for cocaine addiction at the Betty Ford Clinic in Los Angeles. She is undergoing a rehab treatment programme as she has a dependency for the Class A drug.
“Lindsay’s primary problem is cocaine. She went through a thorough assessment, and it was discovered that she has a high dependence for cocaine,” femalefirst.co.uk quoted a source as saying.
Earlier, Lindsay had confessed to experimenting with drugs.
“At this point, Lindsay is at a critical point of her detoxification and recovery, and she is doing well,” the source added.
Lindsay, 24, has her own treatment team in the facility which is comprised of a personal physician, nurse, psychologist, primary counsellor, case manager, spiritual care counsellor, family counsellor, dietician, fitness trainer and chemical dependency technician.
After failing two drug tests last month, Lindsay is now due in court Oct 22 for a probation hearing.
The actress, who served 13 days of a 90-day jail term behind bars in July, returned to prison following the failed tests, but ended up spending just a matter of hours behind bars after posting $300,000 bail. She then voluntarily checked into the Betty Ford Clinic.
