Lindsay Lohan released from jail, now due in rehab

Los Angeles: Lindsay Lohan has been released from jail, but she's not a free woman yet.

The 24-year-old actress was discharged from a suburban Los Angeles jail about 1:35am (12:35pm UAE time) on Monday. She served 14 days of a 90-day jail sentence for violating her probation for a 2007 drug case.

The Mean Girls star's release doesn't end her legal saga though. She now must go to an inpatient rehab program.

The judge who handed down the ruling has picked an exclusive beachside facilty, Morningside Recovery in Orange County.

Lohan had been in a sequestered unit of the women's jail since July 20. The facility has also housed stars such as Paris Hilton and Michelle Rodriguez.

A judge in Beverly Hills determined Lohan violated her probation by missing seven weekly alcohol education classes since December.

Lohan's lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley visited the jail early on Sunday and but hadn't seen the new order.

"I'm hoping that she'll have some time to spend with her family before she goes to rehab," Chapman Holley said.

At Morningside, Lohan will seek treatment for an alleged prescription drug addiction.

The Mean Girls star is expected to complete 90 days at the facility which specialises in alcohol and opiate detox, and will also receive treatment for bipolar disorder, according to website TMZ.com.
