Actress Lindsay Lohan enters rehab facility outside Los Angeles

Troubled actress Lindsay Lohan has entered a rehab facility in Southern California, according to TMZ's website.  Lohan is expected to remain in rehab until her next court appearance on October 22, 2010.

Lindsay Lohan checked into the facility of her own free will after narrowly escaping spending 30 days behind bars for failing two court mandated drug tests earlier this month.  Lohan was released from the Lynwood Correctional Facility on September 24, 2010 after posting $300,000 bail. 

Recents reports have stated that Lindsay Lohan realizes she has a problem and is ready to make positive changes in her life.  Lohan's failed drug tests, she tested positive for both cocaine and amphetamines, have resulted in her being reunited with her SCRAM bracelet.
