LOS ANGELES - Lindsay Lohan's estranged father says she suffers from
multiple addictions, including alcohol and the painkiller OxyContin, the
Web site E! Online reported Wednesday.

The 20-year-old actress checked into rehab Monday following a weekend
that included crashing her Mercedes, being arrested for suspicion of
driving under the influence and being photographed slumped in the
passenger seat of a friend's car. This is her second rehab stint this
year.

"I'm satisfied they are doing the right thing for her, helping her detox
from painkillers and things," Michael Lohan told E! Online. "First she
needs to get clean, then she needs to let God in her life."

Lindsay Lohan's publicist, Leslie Sloane Zelnik, did not immediately
return an after-hours call and e-mail from The Associated Press on
Wednesday.

Michael Lohan was released from a New York state prison in March after
serving almost two years for driving while intoxicated and other charges.
He said he is studying to become a drug-rehab counselor with the
faith-based organization Teen Challenge.

Before entering rehab, the actress was scheduled to start work this week
on "Poor Things," a comedy featuring Shirley MacLaine, who is also a
producer on the movie. MacLaine and co-producer Rob Hickman said in a
statement Wednesday that Lohan still wants to work on the project.

"We are trying to rearrange the shooting schedule to facilitate her
working at the end of the shoot to coincide with the completion of her
rehabilitation," the statement said.

In other events swirling around Lohan, who turns 21 on July 2,
authorities who have been conducting undercover operations at trendy
celebrity watering holes in recent weeks are seeking to find out if she
was served alcohol before her weekend car crash.

California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control investigators also
want to know if Lohan or others were served after hours, agency spokesman
John Carr said.

Videos show Lohan leaving Hollywood's Les Deux club at 3:30 a.m.

Alcohol cannot be served in California after 2 a.m.

The Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control told the Beverly Hills
Police Department it wants to review witness reports and other evidence
to determine if a formal investigation is warranted, Carr said.

Les Deux owner Lonnie Moore said in a statement that Lohan stayed late
having dinner and waiting for friends, and wasn't drinking.
