Lindsay Lohan is more than halfway through with her court-ordered treatment program at Cliffside in Malibu, Calif., and HollywoodTake reports that the program's counselors have warned the star not to move in back with her mother Dina Lohan in Long Island after she's finished rehab, calling it a bad idea.
Lindsay's counselors are concerned that Dina is an enabler and a bad influence, and that living with her could lead to a relapse.
"[Lindsay and Dina] have been known to go out clubbing and drinking together. Lindsay doesn't need a friend in her parents, she needs Dina to act as her mother," an insider told Radar Online.
Instead, Lindsay is being advised to enter a sober living facility following treatment, though the insider added that the troubled star "has no desire to move into a sober living facility," as she is against the idea of being away from home with strangers for much longer.
Money is a big concern for Lindsay Lohan at the moment, as though the star enjoyed a lavish life in the spotlight during the peak of her film and music career, she has plummeted into debt in recent years from legal fees, unpaid taxes and unpaid bills to the IRS. Celebrity pal Charlie Sheen wrote the star a check for $100,000 in 2009 to help cover her debt, but she still seems to be struggling. There is some good news, however, as entertainment site Celebuzz has hired Lindsay to blog about her experiences following rehab, according to the Huffington Post.
Lindsay could stay with friends after rehab, but the Radar insider warned that this would open "up another can of worms because most of her pals are party animals," adding that "time will tell how seriously she is taking her latest stint at recovery."
Dina Lohan recently told the New York Daily News that she would "definitely" welcome her daughter back home. "We're going to work it out to all go visit her again and then we're planning a pool party," she told the newspaper.
As for her stay at Cliffside's luxurious treatment facility, an insider told Radar Online: "Lindsay has been doing so well at Cliffside. She is responding very, very well to treatment." The star was spotted looking clean, healthy and happy while enjoying a smoke break with fellow in-patients last month.
"Lindsay says she is required to be in Venice, Italy, at the beginning of August to attend the premiere of [her new movie] 'The Canyons,'" the source said. "She has assured the doctors that she will continue to go to AA/NA meetings and work the 12 steps.
