Well they say that the third time’s the charm; let’s hope that holds some truth for Lindsay Lohan. MSNBC is reporting that Lohan has checked into rehab in Sundance, Utah. I wonder if she realizes that it has nothing to do with the film festival, and she’s unlikely to score any good swag. Lohan will be staying at the Cirque Lodge drug and alcohol treatment center. Hopefully for a really, really long time.

“Cirque Lodge was recently named by Town and Country magazine as one of the top substance abuse treatment facilities consistently providing outstanding levels of care.

“Cirque Lodge provides alcohol rehab and drug rehab treatment services at two main facilities: the Lodge and the Studio. The Lodge is described as “a private substance abuse mountain retreat with stunning views of both the Sundance Ski Resort and the cirque on beautiful 12,000 foot Mount Timpanogos.” The drug treatment center at the Studio is located near the base of Mount Timpanogos and the mouth of Provo Canyon, a world-renowned fly-fishing and ice climbing area.

“Admission guidelines state that a thorough history and physical examination will be completed upon arrival by the center’s medical staff, and it is also stressed that new participants keep an open mind:

“’We believe that recovery involves spiritual healing and ask that all individuals seeking addiction treatment at Cirque Lodge be open to exploring this aspect of their lives,’ say the guidelines.

“The rooms are certainly built for comfort, with private and shared rooms featuring down duvets and pillows, reading and relaxation areas, fireplaces or wood-burning stoves, and large bathrooms with slate tile and jetted tubs.”

I’m always surprised that so many luxurious spa-like rehab facilities exist across the country. My image of a drug addict is more “holed up in a rat-infested tenement on the Lower East Side.” Proportionally, there must be a small percentage of incredibly wealthy drug addicts that keep these places in business. Because I’m pretty sure that if you sent the average drug addict – no scratch that, if you sent the average non-drug user as well – to one of these places, they’d relapse on purpose. Actually, maybe that’s what Lohan’s doing. Several news agencies are reporting that she’s strapped for cash. Maybe she just wants some nicer digs. Alright so here’s the required, “Good luck in rehab, I hope you turn your life around!” statement. I’m sure it wont work because you’re a self-involved ego-maniac that has rage issues. We wish you the best!
