Lindsay Lohan enters treatment center

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Actress Lindsay Lohan has entered a residential treatment center, her publicist said on Wednesday, but would not disclose the reason.

"I have made a proactive decision to take care of my personal health," the 20-year-old star of "Mean Girls" and "Freaky Friday" said in a statement. "I appreciate your well wishes and ask that you please respect my privacy at this time."

Lohan's spokeswoman declined to say what Lohan was being treated for or where the center was located. The actress said in December she had been attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings for about a year.

Us Weekly magazine reported on its Web site that Lohan had been admitted to the exclusive Wonderland Center in West Hollywood and was seen arriving in an SUV followed by two other cars.

According to its Web site, the Wonderland Center is a "residential treatment and detoxification facility providing services for alcohol, substance abuse and relapse-prevention programs."

"We provide first class food service and accommodations, secure and gated on a private estate, the Center has two swimming pools and three acres of sitting and walking areas," the Web site said.

Lohan, who made her movie debut at the tender age of 11 in "The Parent Trap," has since become one of Hollywood's hottest young stars.

In a 2005 article for Vanity Fair, she said she had an eating disorder but later denied making the remarks.
