The Facts on Lohan?

Question by Miss Alexis: The Facts on Lohan?
Lindsay Lohan, fresh out of rehab, has been arrested again on DUI charges, and posession of cocaine.

“Lohan left Promises Malibu Alcohol and Drug Rehab Treatment Facility on July 13, after a stay of more than six weeks.” Quoted from:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19930594/

If this is true, why did Lohan reportedly spend her 4th of July weekend with family, friends, and a possible boyfriend? Wasn’t she still supposed to be checked into rehab, and supposedly receiving 24-hour care and supervision?

Any Suggestions for Good Drug Rehab in Florida?

Question by Elysnoss: Any suggestions for good drug rehab in Florida?
I’m looking for a drug rehab in florida.
Any place that would let me bring along my laptop would be a definite win.
Any place that’ll allow 2 family members at the same rehab is also a plus but not as important.

Just looking for a decent place that would allow me to use my laptop sometimes.

Nar A Non, look in the phone book for Narcotics Anonymous or Alcoholics Anonymous. I know for members of AA they have Al-A-Non for family members. It is free all you have to do is go to meetings. They have schedules of meetings in your area. You can also call the local mental health hotline and ask them or the hospital in your area.

Friends of mine have an adult child who has already been through short term drug and alcohol rehab (2 weeks to 30 days) treatments, only to relapse. He needs longer term treatment to address the psychological problems associated with addiction; but like millions of other Americans he has no insurance.
