Rehab bound: Lindsay Lohan, seen here in court, will reportedly be treated for addiction to methamphetamine at Morningside Recovery in Orange County
Lindsay Lohan's lawyer has hit back at claims that she is to be treated for addiction to Methamphetamine and bi-polar disorder during her court-ordered 90 days in rehab.
The 24-year old actress is currently in jail serving a 90-day sentence for a probation violation stemming from a 2007 DUI charge.
But with time off for good behaviour and because of overcrowding at the jail, she could be let out Sunday night or early Monday morning.
The TMZ website is claiming that that meth along with opiates were Lindsay's 'drugs of choice.'
Methampetamine, or Crystal Meth as it is more widely known, is a highly addictive stimulant drug which increases alertness and energy levels as well as increasing the levels of dopamine and serotonin in the brain.
It is approved by the FDA (US Food and Drug Administration) for the treatment for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, which Lindsay apparently suffers from and is therefore allowed to take the drug legally.
But Lohan's lawyer attorney Shawn Chapman Holley has told RadarOnline: 'The report that my client, Lindsay Lohan is going to be treated for methamphetamine addiction is categorically false. It's a fabrication, 100 per cent.
'I have never seen anything that implies that my client has an issue with methamphetamine abuse.'
Holley would not tell RadarOnline on what addiction Lohan will be treated for, but she added: 'Lindsay isn't a meth addict. I have no idea where that came from, but I can tell you, it's false.'
Morningside rehab centre: Lindsay will head here, possibly today, straight from jail
Lohan is due to check into Morningside Recovery rehab centre in Orange County, California, as soon as she is released from the Lynwood Regional Detention Facility where she is currently being held.
Morningside, which was hand-selected by Marsha Revel, the judge handling the star's case, lists detoxification from meth-amphetamines and opiates as one of its specialities.
The rehab centre was not on the original list of recommended facilities provided to the judge by the court-appointed psychiatrists who evaluated the Mean Girls star but the Revel took the advice of the probation officer who favoured the centre.
Bunking with Lindsay? Some of the bedrooms at Morningside Recovery in Newport Beach where Lindsay Lohan will reportedly spend 90 days have bunk beds
Lohan will be pleased to learn that the establishment where she will begin her 90-day in-patient treatment is far from bleak.
Morningside Recovery's website says: 'Orange County, California is a place of peace and serenity, which helps to offer the best temporal and scenic environment for those suffering from drug addiction, alcoholism, and/or co-occurring disorders through their journey to recovery.'
Billed as an 'exclusive addiction and dual diagnosis facility providing drug and alcohol rehab, and mental health and dual diagnosis services,' the rooms at Morningside look more in keeping with a summer camp than a rehab centre.
The building is divided into separate houses and decorated in muted beige tones with simple, yet comfortable furnishings.
Green and relaxing: Lush outdoor gardens with high fences to keep prying paparazzi out should make Lohan happy
Outside there is a large wooden deck, lush green gardens, a patio table, chairs and umbrella.
Indoors there are lounges with comfy couches, fireplaces and television sets and the bedrooms are fairly spacious with balconies that have ocean views. However, there are two beds to each room.
It's unclear whether Lohan will be housed in her own room or if she'll have a room mate. Some of the bedrooms do have bunks, so the Mean Girls star might find herself fighting over who gets the top bed.
Each house has a kitchen with appliances and cooking utensils and a television in the lounge. However, residents can only watch TV during scheduled hours and they are assigned daily chores to keep their house clean.
