Apparently Michael and Dina Lohan aren’t the only ones who think jail will do Lindsay no good.
Dr. Drew makes three!
When asked about the sentencing and her subsequent drug addiction to prescribed pills, Dr. Drew responded:
“Jail will only harden her. I have in the past and I even would be willing to go in front of the judge, if Lindsay asked me to, and ask that she be placed in my care to begin a year long residential treatment, at the minimum. The judge ordered Lindsay to 90 days of treatment, and that just won’t be enough for her sadly.”
However we don’t see Lindsay jumping at that offer to serve a full year in house treatment to Dr. Drew when she can probably knock out the entire jail/rehab sentence in less than four months.
Dr. Drew continues:
“Lindsay shouldn’t have been prescribed Dilaudid, except with great caution and the participation of an addiction team. She is an addict with unstable active disease, and Dilaudid can only make that much worse.
I always treat patients with a team in place. I never treat addicts alone. As a doctor, you can’t get sucked into that person’s disease, and the disease is so very powerful. Lindsay needs to have a team of doctor’s treating her. It’s also why we send families to Al-Anon, so the family
can stand with others so that the addict knows all on the same page.I have had lots of experience with Adderall.
There seems to be problematic issues related to Adderall, addicts seem to do OK on Adderall short-term, but as time goes on, the drug becomes an issue. I think what we saw in court last week with Lindsay was related to issues she could be having with Adderall.
I have always said someday, she will make an amazing sober person. I have only wanted the best for her, and my only intention is to help and not harm her.”
