Lohan's latest rehab stint comes after she dodged jail time after pleading no contest to reckless driving and lying to cops stemming from a crash on Pacific Coast Highway in Santa Monica on June 9, 2012 — she was heading to the set of her made-for-television movie "Liz & Dick," according to Santa Monica Patch.com.

Santa Monica Patch further reported that Lohan also admitted to violating her "probation in an earlier Venice theft case, but a 180-day jail sentence for that violation was put on hold by Los Angeles Superior Court Judge James R. Dabney, who said if the actress meets all the terms of her latest sentence, her probation in that case will be reinstated and she won't serve any additional time behind bars."

The Seafield Center, according to its website, was founded in 1985 as a 60-bed facility. It has since expanded to 90 beds and operates six outpatient facilities on Long Island.

The facility is headed up by Executive Director Mark Epley, who is also the mayor of the Village of Southampton. He is also known as a friend of Lohan's father.

Epley could not be immediately reached for comment.
