Rehab isn't just a place where the rich go to have their self-made problems validated by smiling nurses holding trays of buprenorphine – it's also the place where Lindsay Lohan goes to indulge in emotional family reconciliations.
Apparently Lindsay Lohan has scored some leave from the Cirque Lodge rehab centre in Utah where she's currently receiving treatment for her addictions to alcohol, drugs and constantly winking in movie photos. And what better way to spend that time than by bonding with her semi-estranged father Michael Lohan in a remote Utah lodge? This getaway marks just the second time that Lindsay Lohan and Michael Lohan have seen each other since 2004, so we're sure that the conversation will be flowing all week, with anecdotes about how Michael Lohan once beat up Lindsay Lohan's uncle with a shoe during a religious event and how Lindsay Lohan has destroyed almost every aspect of her life with her relentless irresponsible behaviour. Good times.
Being in rehab gives you the chance to reflect and put your past mistakes right. For some this means realising that you used to drink far too much, for others it means realising that you're the devil and you must die but, for Lindsay Lohan, rehab has provided her with the chance to reach out to her father. Technically rehab has provided Lindsay Lohan with the chance to do plenty of other stuff too, since she's only been out of rehab for about three or four seconds this year, but the dad thing's been the most recent so we may as well concern ourselves with that.
Lindsay Lohan and her dad Michael Lohan have had a relationship familiar to fathers and daughters everywhere – you know, he raised her with the sole intention that she became famous, then he got arrested and imprisoned for attempted assault and DUI and contempt of court, then she wrote a song about what a shit dad he was, then he got released from prison and found religion only to blab about how she was addicted to prescription medicine right after she was arrested for crashing her car drunk, that sort of thing – but now that she's decided to basically spend the rest of her life in rehab, Lindsay Lohan has decided to repair the bonds with her father with a minibreak to a Utah lodge. MSNBC reports:
Michael Lohan is headed back to Utah to once again reunite with daughter Lindsay, Michael confirmed to Access Hollywood. Michael is scheduled to arrive in Utah on Monday night. He and Lindsay will then spend five days together at a secluded Utah lodge “We’re going to spend some quality time together,” Michael told Access. In an e-mail to People magazine, Lindsay’s mom Dina was pleased her ex-husband would get the chance to spend time with their daughter. “It can only help her recovery. It’s time to mend,” the e-mail stated… This will mark Michael’s second trip to Utah since Lindsay entered the Cirque Lodge rehab center on Aug. 3.
It's about time that Lindsay Lohan realised that a solid family-based support system is the most important thing in the world, and it must mean everything to her to know that she's regained that unconditional father-daughter love. True, Lindsay Lohan is still technically an alcohol-abusing drug addict who'll soon be going to prison for all of her DUI arrests and a woman who has wrecked her movie career to the extent that other moviestars want to attack her, but we're sure all that will fall into place now Lindsay has made friends with the man who hit her uncle with a shoe at communion again.

Au contraire. She was crazy long before that. By the way, aren’t you related to Chris Crocker, Robert?
