Actress Lindsay Lohan was released from a rehabilitation centre on Tuesday just 22 days into a three-month program ordered by the court.
Her early discharge follows media reports that doctors treating the actress do not believe she suffers from previously diagnosed drug or psychiatric problems.
The 24-year-old was also released from jail this month on the grounds of good behavior and to help alleviate overcrowding after serving just 13 days of a 90-day sentence for violating her probation in a 2007 drunk driving and cocaine possession charge.
Lohan immediately entered a residential rehabiliation program in Los Angeles for a 90-day period stint as part of her sentence.
However, the prosecutor in her case stated a fortnight ago that health care professionals were likely to recommend an early release with follow-up treatment as an outpatient for Lohan.
The actress admitted she was addicted to alcohol and drugs in 2007 and went to rehab three times.
She was ordered to wear an alcohol monitoring anklet in May this year and was jailed for missing multiple alcohol education classes imposed as part of her probation three years ago.
Lohan began her career as a promising actress, starring in “Mean Girls” and “The Parent Trap”, but she has floundered in the past three years, hitting the headlines repeatedly for nights out and strange behaviour.
Her legal problems have delayed the shooting of her next movie in which she will take up the role of 1970s porn actress Linda Lovelace. Lohan was last seen in movie theatres with “I Know Who Killed Me”, which flopped in 2007.
