Lindsay Lohan and dad get some quality time
Filed under: Just For Dads, Activities: Babies, Celeb Kids, Celeb Parents, Alcohol & Drugs
Do you miss Lindsay Lohan since she has been in rehab? Yeah, me either. But her dad, Michael Lohan, does and is planning a five-day visit with his wayward daughter this week. What's on the agenda for the family reunion? According to Michael, he's going to try to convince her to take Vivitrol, a drug that may help curb her craving for alcohol.
"When I get there, that will be a large part of our discussion," Michael Lohan tells E! Online. "Because no matter how you look at it, when she's out, she will be tempted. But if that craving for alcohol is not there, then she will have a much better chance to stay sober."
Unlike other alcohol-curbing drugs, which must be taken orally every day, Vivitrol is injected once a month and slowly releases into the body over a thirty-day period. This isn't her first attempt using pharmaceuticals to help with her battle against alcohol. "She tried something else, but it failed her," said Michael.
Michael is picking Lindsay up from the the Cirque Lodge treatment facility this morning and whisking her away to a secluded house in the Utah hills. There, for the first time in three years, the two will spend some alone together. Besides trying to convince his daughter to take Vivitrol, dad envisions lots of hiking and possibly some shopping. "It will be just us spending quality time together," he said. "Though I know she wants to do some shopping. She's already told me that!"
Retail therapy on top of drug therapy. Let's hope it works.

Cynthia said...What the hell is wrong with that man? I'm no fan of Lindsay Lohan, but what earthly reason could her father have for sharing all these personal things with the press except for the fact that he is a publicity whore or possibly to make a quick buck? That man is scum.

"That man is scum..." ... and obviously doesn't have the first CLUE about Addiction Recovery. Not that I'm any expert, but I can tell you that trying to convince a recovering drug/alcohol addict to take yet ANOTHER DRUG? Probably not the wisest move. (yeah, I get that some Meth users have found salvation in a pharmaceutical, but in her case, I'm guessing that giving the 12 Steps a try should come first)
And someone needs to slap him and tell him that this little visit probably isn't about *him* at all, but about *her*. If this is a decent recovery center that she's in, she's working with her counselor(s), preparing a list of things to deal with him on, like his stellar fathering technique, among other things.
To "scum", I will add "moron", and a few others that I probably shouldn't print here.
