It turns out that Lindsay Lohan’s ultra nice rehab, Cirque, has a few conditions required in less plush rehab facilities. The Utah rehab requires its patients to clean toilets, wash dishes, and do laundry. TMZ claims to have several sources inside the facility, and they say Lindsay is no exception, and has to do chores like everyone else. TMZ also directly counters Entertainment Tonight’s claims that Lindsay was difficult and required special treatment.

“Sources inside the facility say that Lindsay attends12-step every day as well as other meetings, talks with psychiatrists and psychologists, and receives “other medical treatment.” She is not in a private room; she has two roommates. She spends time during the day and night washing dishes, cleaning toilets and doing laundry.”

Well that can only be good for her. TMZ also reports that Cirque is “considered the most hardcore drug treatment facility in the nation” and frankly, Lindsay needs no less. Most other sources are reporting that Lindsay has been difficult and required special treatment – but despite the conflicting reports about the other details, pretty much everyone agrees that she’s cleaning toilets. That makes my heart sing. According to the Sun, Lindsay has a pretty rigid, but definitely tolerable routine.

“Lindsay’s daily routine is:

6am: All patients are woken up.

6.30am: A river hike followed by meditation.

8:00am: Breakfast.

8.30am: Cleaning duties, including cleaning their rooms and her toilets.

9am and 9.30am: Group meetings to discuss the day.

10am: The patients are given an awareness talk.

1pm-4pm: Patients take part in compulsory activities including horseback riding or gardening.”

Entertainment Tonight’s source (the one discredited, according to TMZ) has some really unflattering things to say about Lindsay. It’s hard to tell who’s story is true, so I’m going to publish both sides to show the complete picture, and let you all decide for yourselves.

“JANE P., who left the center on Tuesday, says she believes Lindsay checked into the center last Thursday night — and that her arrival and stay has been disruptive to other men and women in the program.

“’Rumors [that she would be coming into the rehab facility] started after she had been arrested again,’ says Jane, ‘but it was never confirmed until she came, at which point we were given a complete rundown of things we could not do or say due to the confidentiality at the time we are staying there.

“’Before I left, she had not attended any group meetings, other than the AA meeting, and she was supposedly given a private room,’ Jane adds when asked if Lindsay was given special treatment at the facility. ‘She’s not being required to attend [meetings] like the other residents are … she is being escorted around privately, so to me that is special treatment.’

When asked how the star’s presence affected the environment at the facility, Jane says, ‘Things became more tense amongst the staff … a lot of havoc was going on … so things changed.’

Jane adds that Lindsay’s appearance at the facility started to make the other people staying there ‘uncomfortable.’ ‘Most of the young people were excited about having her come so that they could help her,’ she says. “’t’s very important for people to work together, and you see that people of your own age, your own peers are going through the same thing, however that was not the case [with Lindsay]. … [After that first] meeting, when she toured the facility on Sunday, she hasn’t been seen.’”

TMZ directly contradicts Jane P, and gives a little generic history on her. I do give their report some credence – they’re not known to pander to celebrities, so if they’re defending Lindsay, I’m guessing they must have a few reliable sources. Here’s what they say:

“Doctors at the facility say she has been cooperative from the get-go. As for the woman making the allegations, there are two facilities at Cirque — The Lodge and The Studio. We’re told Lindsay and the woman were at different facilities and there was only a short overlap. We’re told the woman dropped out of the program days after Lindsay arrived, “against medical advice.” Several doctors described the woman as “a problem.” We’re told the only way the woman could have even seen Lindsay was at group meetings — she was never in a position to even see Lindsay’s accommodations.”

Let’s hope this program really makes a difference for Lindsay. If this doesn’t work for her, it sounds like nothing will. Considering Cirque is “the most hardcore drug treatment facility in the nation,” it’s likely her best shot. Hopefully Lindsay is working hard and taking this seriously. According to TMZ, during that period between her arrest and showing up at Cirque, “Lohan went to an intense, medical detox facility in L.A. for eight days. She then went directly to Cirque.” Here’s crossing fingers.
