Posted by Drug Free in Drug Abuse Treatment, Drug Rehabilitation, Raising Healthy Kids on February 20th, 2011

Michael Lohan, the equally controversial father of actress Lindsay Lohan and her siblings Ali, Cody, and Michael Jr., will be in Florida for a chance to visit troubled teens in a rehab facility. He will have a speaking engagement at South Florida for those who are participating in the nationally famous and parent-recommended residential teen rehab program, the Inspirations for Youth and Families.

Michael and Lindsay LohanMichael agreed to speak to the community as a way of keeping his promise to his daughter Lindsay that he will be helping other teenagers and their families survive the critical years of adolescence.

Christopher Walsh and Karen Corcoran Walsh created the Inspirations as a unique approach in working with teens and their families. The Inspirations for Youth and Families is popularly known as the Inspirations Teen Rehab which is a licensed residential treatment center for teens ages 13 to 18 years old. The center serves as the house that will cover therapeutic programs needed by troubled teens and their families.

Michael and the Walshes are concerned with the growing rate of adolescent drug use and the tragedies that arise from these situations. Through the institution, they try to let others know about the dangers of teenage substance abuse and reach out to parents who are losing hope and don’t know what measures to take in dealing with their children’s problems.

Michael Lohan to Open a Rehab Center!

Posted by Drug Free in Drug Rehabilitation on August 30th, 2010

A post on RadarOnline.com Friday revealed news that some people may find startling, even downright ridiculous: Michael Lohan, Lindsay Lohan’s father, announced that he was going to open a drug and alcohol rehab center in California.

Michael Lohan“Yes it’s true, I’ll be running it,” Lohan reportedly revealed to the site via an exclusive interview. He goes on to say: “I think it’s time that Dina and I both step out of the media for a while, and for me that means getting back to what I know best — helping people with addiction.”

From a certain perspective, it would seem that Mr. Lohan may be able to pull off something like that, if he pulls something out of his “treasure box” of personal experience with substance abuse. After all, if his daughter has her run-ins with the law, he was in the same predicament way before she did.

The fact, though, that he was giving an interview 48 hours after Lindsay’s release from a court-mandated stay in rehab has tongues wagging. The comments section of the feature certainly contained a number of negative reactions, to say the least. Reader Ellie, for instance, said: “He’s blowing smoke again. He has no education & no credentials.”

At any rate, Lohan revealed that he was receiving support from a “really well-known person” that he declined to name, and that he already has a circle of therapists. Financing has already been completed, although the location is reportedly still under negotiation. He said that he will be moving to California to run the center.
