Michael Lohan to Open a Rehab Center

Lindsay Lohan's estranged father,
Michael Lohan, has revealed his next goal in life--to open a faith-based rehab center. The publicity-loving Lohan tells
UsMagazine.com that he moved from New York to Los Angeles specifically to start to this new venture.
"After seeing what my daughter, myself and other people I know have been through, it has led me to realize this is my calling and purpose in life," he told UsMagazine. Lohan has struggled with both drug and alcohol addictions. He also was very outspoken about wanting his oldest daughter Lindsay to seek treatment during her legal troubles over the past few months.
Lohan says the rehab center won't have doctors or medical treatment; instead it will be a "rehab that focuses on mind, body and soul. It is a spiritual retreat." He goes on to explain there is no religious affiliation with the center, though "the basis of the rehab will be that there is a God; that good conquers evil; that the best way to live is to treat others like you want to be treated; and treat your body like a temple."
A site for the rehab center hasn't been found yet, but Lohan claims they're getting close to getting if off the ground. "We've got the team in place, and the financing is all there," he said.
Lohan is also quick to point out the center will be available to everyone, not just the rich and famous. "I'm not going to close my doors on anyone. We may offer a scholarship [to those in need]," he explains. "You don't have to be Lindsay Lohan or Nicole Richie or Robert Downey Jr. or a celebrity to get rehab."
"All of the things that have happened to me in my life have led to this. I know this is what God wants me to do first and foremost," he concludes.

Make sure it has a automatic revolving door for Lindsay.

Lindsay will have her own private entrance, reserved parking spot right up front, and personal staff! And given time her mom and sister may have theirs, too. They are the family that just won't go away.
And lets see how much lindsey will owe you when shes done with her stint there, when she cant even pay her other rehab bills

He's doing it so his drunk daughter can go to rehap for an 10 minutes and he can doctor up the paperwork saying shes been there for 3 months.... this family is as messed up as the Palins

Which Lohan parent is the worst? Lohan shares the same ego driven self seeking mother as Bristol Palin; her father is phonier than both of them. Hope he is the first client in his rehab center.

What qualifications does he have as a father and disciplinarian, let alone running a drug/alcohol rehab? Maybe his daughter wouldn't be doing what she's doing had both her parents been on the same page long ago. Her father abused drugs/alcohol and her mother took her bar-hopping. What a fine example they set for her. Talk about dysfunctional!

Why not build another 'wing' to the L.A. County Jail and make it the local for the Lohan Rehab Center? The patients/prisoners won't have far to go from court to where ever they are sentenced to go.

The builders should include a lot of 'dark' carpeting for the place, especially for the 'detox' room for the patients with the 'post coke blues!'
