Lindsay Lohan: Rehab Is 'A Good Thing, But There Are Other Things I Could Do Instead Of Going'

Lindsay Lohan opens up about everything from her experiences with drugs and alcohol to her destructive family life in a new interview with Piers Morgan.

The 26-year-old troubled star, who started her 90-day lockdown rehab program on May 2 -- after leaving her New York and Newport Beach centers for the Betty Ford clinic -- talked to Morgan late last month and admitted that although rehab is "a good thing," it may not be what's best for her.

"I look at it as a good thing. I can come back afterwards and be fully focused on work. But I think there are other things I could do instead of going to a rehab center that would benefit me more," she tells Morgan, whose full interview with Lohan appears on the Daily Mail. "The best thing they could do for me would be to make me go abroad to different countries and work with children."

When Morgan asks her if she ever voluntarily sought out treatment, Lohan says, "Once. I went when I was doing a movie called 'I Know Who Killed Me,' and I hadn’t been drinking for a year at that point, but I was having really bad nightmares and the movie was pretty traumatizing. So I stayed in a facility so I could get some sleep and talk about it with someone the next day, because it was overwhelming. But I would leave every day and just sleep there at night," she continues, "I liked that. It was kind of like having my own live-in therapist, because I was having crazy nightmares and I was having AA meetings on set and stuff. It really helped."
