The three months in jail will not be the only punishment for Lindsay Lohan. The actress will be kept clean of drugs and alcohol until August, next year, as decided by the Judge Marsha Revel. She is allowed to take only five types of medications that are prescribed by her doctor: Nexium for heartburn, antidepressants Zoloft and Trazodone, Adderall, its attention deficit and Dilaudid pain reliever for toothache.
According to the ruling that was issued on Wednesday by the Court of Los Angeles, “Lindsay Lohan has demonstrated the medical permission to take such drugs.” The report adds that the actress was twice tested positive for amphetamines and opiates, in the analysis that was performed in April, for one of the antidepressants and sedative.
Lohan was sentenced last Monday to 90 days in jail for having skipped the requirements of the probation, in which she was convicted for abusing alcohol and drugs, and driving under the influence of alcohol. Since last May, the interpreter has an ankle bracelet, which constantly measures the blood alcohol level. The night of the MTV awards alcohol meter jumped, leaving evidence that she had been drinking.
“I do not take this as a joke. It’s my life. It is my career. I am responsible for my actions. I’ve done the best I could. I don’t want you to think that I don’t respect you.” told to the judge Revel. Cheryl Marshall, head of the rehabilitation program to which she was convicted in 2007, testified that Lohan missed the meetings and the classes on nine occasions. “She has nine absences since December 2009″, told the judge.
This is not the first time the star of “Mean Girls” faces jail. In 2007 she was detained twice under the influence of alcohol and drugs. She was then ordered to spend 76 hours in jail and undergo rehabilitation treatment. The judge recalled that Lohan should have already settled their debts with the law a year ago, but because of her “creative excuses” for not attending the program was forced to extend the sentence by one year.
