Dina Lohan gave a status report on daughter Lindsay's extended stay at rehab.The troubled actress, 24, is "happy, relaxed," at the Betty Ford Center Dina, 48, told Matt Lauer on The Today Show Monday.
"The Betty Ford Center is just an amazing place," she gushed, calling it a "life-changing" experience.

It's the fifth time in rehab for Lindsay, but her mom is cautiously hopeful that this time could be the last. "We'll take it one day at a time," Dina said. "I don't have a crystal ball. I pray hard."
But her famous daughter has new ambitions of her own. "She wants to start her own facilities, help other children," Dina said. "She's so public, we can only be positive and look to the future to help other families."

Lohan is due to stay in rehab - she's out of the center and "in a home," said her mom - until Jan. 3. Lauer pointed out that last time Lindsay got out early. Might that happen again?

Lindsay is scheduled to stay the famous center until Jan. 3, but has often ended other rehab stints early. "Lindsay wants to stay," Dina said. "She's learning the trigger points and why she turns to something - drugs or addiction."
Tell Us What You Think
25There are two general rules to consider: lawyers should not represent themselves and doctors should not treat themselves. People tend to enter rehab because they are unable to cope on their own. If Lindsay could control her behaviour she would not have been ordered into rehab by a judge.
Are you kidding me??????? I mean, really??? Never have I heard such baloney. Even when I had just a month clean I wasn't this stupid.
What a nitwit. She just opens her mouth and stupid stuff comes out. No wonder Lindsay has a substance abuse problem growing up with this moron as her mother.
What will she call it? get ready to fail. Now lets go get F***ed up.
What would she call it get ready to fail...Now lets party.
Oh dear lord.
Yay, Dina! I read this headline and actually GUFFAWED. Let's also give Charlie Sheen a home for wayward girls. Well, at least Lindsay could make her connections at work and not go out of her way.
So now she wants to stay. Last week she wanted out to helping her clothing line and because she couldn't afford it. How about picking a story and sticking with it, Dina?
Oh My God, Woman, just shut up!! Dina Lohan, the new Michael Lohan...I would say Lady, but she's not one, ergo Woman.
HER MOM SHOULD BE THE FIRST ONE ADMITTED, WHAT A JOKE!
This has "Bad Idea" written all over it. She needs to be clean for more than a week before anyone will take her serious. This made me laugh, but not in a good way...Maybe after a few years of sobriety she can say say this, but right now....It's about getting clean, staying clean, and living one day at a time sober and drug free.
maybe Lindsay has realized...what we already know...she has a problem ...and her parents are not helping
this woman is nuts and a fame hoe just like her ex-husband... and lindsay should get the britney has where someone in her fame who isnt famous stepped in and took the reins... but in lindsay case it would be the the judge who throw her in jail and gave her a no special treatment
First of all it's Lindsay who wants to open a rehab center - ha ha ha. Dina would never do something like that because it would cause problems with her party life. The family is messed up - look at dad and Dina and Lindsay and Ali is pretty much a mouth little snot.
I wish Linday's parents would just shut up already. They haven't done a thing to help the girl and they won't stop talking to the media. If they cared, they would spend more time talking to her than about her. As for the rehab centers? Not really a good idea
Can't really blame the pink cloud ideas running thru her head, everytime I got clean I wanted to save the world, but, if she did open centers, did some good, then fell again, well, CATASTROPHE!!!, bad idea Lindsay

Yeah because she did such a great job at parenting that this would a natural step for her... I'm sorry I can't say that without laughing...
Now I had my laugh for today. Maybe she should take care of her own daughter
