Lindsay Lohan's father, Michael Lohan announced that he will be moving to California to open a drug and alcohol rehab center.

Michael Lohan's actress daughter, Lindsay was just released from a rehab center after serving 22 days in the court ordered facility.

"Yes, it's, true, I'll be running it," Lohan told RadarOnline. "I think it's time that Dina and I both step out of the media for a while, and for me that means getting back to what I know best - helping people with addiction."

Michael Lohan who doesn't have the funds to open a rehab center on his own, says the facility is being backed by a "really well known person." However, Lohan revealed he can't disclose who that person is just yet.

"But I have my entire team of therapists in place and the financing is done. We're still negotiating the location," he told RadarOnline.com. Lohan, who has been an advocate against his daughter Lindsay's prescription drug use claims that prescribed medications won't be allowed at his rehab center.

"I'm going to have a protocol that will be have to be followed. I don't believe in prescription drugs," he said. "If people come in on them they're going to have to get off of them, otherwise they'll be looking for another rehab. I believe spirituality and holistic methods can cure anything. God will be a major element in recovery."

Lohan's announcement comes at a time when Lindsay has just been released from yet another rehab stay. Lindsay left the UCLA medical center on Tuesday, and on Wednesday reactivated her drivers license. Lohan was spotted driving around California sipping on an energy drink.

"I think even if Michael Lohan's motives may be questionable, the rehab center could benefit many people," said one local resident. What are your thoughts on Lindsay Lohan's father, Michael Lohan announcing he will be opening a rehab center? Leave your comments below.
