Now that Lindsay Lohan has been released from rehab, what's next for the 24-year-old actress?
She will undergo "fairly rigorous outpatient" treatment, her civil attorney Ed McPherson tells UsMagazine.com.

Indeed, at a Wednesday morning hearing at a Beverly Hills courthouse, Judge Elden Fox prescribed strict new terms of supervised probation for the star, which will last until November 1, 2010.
Among Judge Fox's orders: Lohan, 24, must reside at her Los Angeles-area home, and is not permitted to leave the state until the end of this period; she must attend psychotherapy sessions five times per week; she must speak with a "chemical dependency mentor" at least seven times a week; she must attend meetings for a 12-step dependency program five times a week, and submit to behavioral therapy twice weekly. Most importantly, Lohan will be subject to random drug and alcohol testing at least twice a week.

If Lohan ever tests positive for drugs or alcohol, she'll receive 30 days in jail.
Judge Elden also confirmed that he issued an order at 5pm Tuesday evening releasing the Mean Girls actress from UCLA Medical Center. A progress report is scheduled for November 1.
PHOTOS: How her face has changed
Earlier this month, she was released early from jail due to good behavior after serving 13 days of a 90-day sentence for violating probation in her DUI case.
Lohan "has changed," attorney Holley told UsMagazine.com. "She is positive and looking forward. I hope you will support her."
Tell Us What You Think
37To Charl, hey I agree totally with what you are saying, although you have to think of one thing. Lindsay knows exactly who she is and knows that she is followed by her every move so if she didn't want to be "caught" then she should have never done this in the first place. I totally understand covering up feelings and its probably really tough for her, she's been in the spotlight most of her life, but what I'm saying is that if she doesn't want her dirty laundry scattered all over the world, then stay clean and be good. She doesn't have to be the center of attention all the time.
I wish everyone would just leave this girl alone. What chance does she have? Her every move is photographed by people that have no business calling her names! Her parents are the worst ever! Her mother only enables her and her father is probably the biggest joke in Hollywood! They both suck off her. IF she is doing drugs to the extent everyone says she is, who could blame her? I would want to bury myself. If everyone would just leave her alone, she may have a chance to realize what she is doing and make a plan to make a change! The way things are now, she does not have a chance....BACK OFF PAPARAZZI, PARENTS AND BLOODSUCKING SO CALLED FRIENDS!
please someone shoot this thing
Dina Lohan is falling down on the job. Even though Lindsay is technically an adult, she still needs somebody to step up and say, "You are in serious trouble." Dina doesn't seem to get it, so she can't help Lindsay at all. My mother was a witch on wheels, and a strong disciplinarian to say the least. But if she wanted one of her kids to be off drugs and alcohol, we would be. She'd give it to us straight and tell it like it was, and how it was going to be with her around. We wouldn't like it, but we'd be alive. Dina's still in major denial. Athis rate, Lindsay will be dead before she's 30 - and Dina could have done something about it.
As long as the authorities in charge of her case keep letting her out of jail and rehab early, she will keep expecting to get out of them early. Because there will be repeat performances. Jail and rehab have both failed because no one holds her accountable for her actions and actually tries to make any kind of discipline or punishment STICK. If she gets 90 days in jail, she should serve them. If she's ordered to go to rehab for a period of time, she should stay. I think everyone in charge of her case is just as responsible as she is for her not getting her act together. Her mother, the authorities, no one in a position to truly help her is taking any of it seriously enough to try to drum some real discipline into her. Because obviously she can't do that herself.
LOST CAUSE DEAD Lindsay!Lindsay=IRRESPONSIBLE DRUGGIE DRUNK LOSER!
As much as I am so sick of hearing Lindsey's name, I hope she gets serious help. She is definitely a spoiled girl but she has real issues. Please take all the help you can get or you are gonna leave this earth way to young.
Nunya, where have you been the last 3 months. Since May 24, Lindsay has been taken random drug tests per the court order as well as alcohol tests and has passed every single one of them. There's no reason to believe she can't pass drug tests. Anyone who is more objective can look at this outpatient requirements and see how heavily it favors psychotherapy and behavioral therapy. That unfortunately is way often ignored and people continue to go the Lindsay drug addict explanation rather than looking at how UCLA has treated her and their emphasis on psychotherapy and behavioral therapy along with 12 step meetings and drug testing.
Well this is good news, at least she'll be back in the slammer soon, because there's no way in hell she will pass frequent drug testing.
PLEASE, we aren't fooled anymore. Nobody is going to hold this bimbo accountable for anything she does, or enforce any of her so-called "punishment". We may as well give her a get-out-of-jail-free card, and let her go her merry way until she kills herself or someone else.
Well, this is good news and it is also bad news. Her Mom is sick, because she is a drug-crackhead, and now poor Lindsay is left with only hope for herself! The only thing we can hope for is that she will get better in time. Best Wishes, Lindsay! :) :)
Them is some pretty tough rules for a non adict to ahere to.
I don't get this. The hospital said she was misdiagnosed and her problems were not as bad as they were made out to be. There was also the report that she was weened off her medications without any withdrawal symptoms. Seems to me that the outpatient therapy is pretty rigorous. Sounds like they should have kept her the entire 90 days and then put her in outpatient therapy. I wonder if this has to do with money; Lindsay had to foot the bill for the Rehab, which I hear was 40,000 a week. I Wonder if she has to pay for the outpatient care; if so, how much.
Honestly, I'm at a loss for words on this issue. So much for justice in this country...
ok, but if she gets in trouble again I say no more second chances!! as for her acting ability, truthfully there is an abundance of talent beyond her and she should be grateful for any job, she is certainly no draw for me to go see a movie
Rigorous according to LaLa Land law means "if and when you want to". This is a slap in the face of our judicial system.
I Wish you the best, tell the world that is possible to rehab once and for all, God bless you...
She is a lost cause!!!
can't cure stupid. rehab's a waste on this, folks. never happen. no brain, no pain.
Sorry: I meant to say: Lets see how long it takes the paparazzi to take a pic of Lindsay coming or going from a late night party? My bet: 2 days
