LOS ANGELES?Troubled Hollywood starlet Lindsay Lohan has been allowed to return home after three weeks of treatment at a detox center for alcohol addiction, but will continue to be monitored, a judge said Wednesday.
At a court hearing in Beverly Hills, Judge Eldon Fox said Lohan had been released, but said tabs would be kept on the starlet for the next two months.
"If all conditions are met by November 1, she will be allowed unsupervised probation and permitted to live elsewhere, including outside California," Fox said at Los Angeles County Superior Court hearing in Beverly Hills.
Lohan was sentenced on July 6 to serve 90 days in jail and another 90 days in rehab for violating her probation in a drunk-driving case.
Due to jail overcrowding, however, she served just 13 days behind bars, before being released to the detox facility.
Lohan was not present at Wednesday's hearing but her attorney Shaw Chapman Holley said her client was well on her way to fulfilling all the conditions of her sentence, and is a changed woman.
"Ms. Lohan is serious about her sobriety," Chapman Holley said in court.
"She is very serious and has learned her lesson."
The attorney later told journalists that Lohan was well on her way to creating a new life for herself, after 22 days of rehab treatment.
"I am hoping this is a new beginning for Ms Lohan. She has completed everything that has been asked of her," Chapman Holley added. "She's healthy, clear-headed, positive."
The shortened rehab center stint was the second in detox for Lohan, who was arrested for driving under the influence three years ago.
After a stay in rehab, she was caught two months later for drunk driving and cocaine possession. She served a mere 84 minutes in jail after the arrests.
The court was less forgiving at last month?s hearing however, when Lohan was found to have violated the conditions of her parole and ordered her to serve her jail sentence on July 20.
The queen of Hollywood nights and a favorite target of the paparazzi, the former Disney child star was once considered one of the most promising actresses of her generation.
But Lohan's career has dipped many times since 2005 amid legal woes, stops in rehab and cinematic flops.
In 2008, the star of "The Parent Trap," "Mean Girls" and "Bobby" received two Razzie Awards, the satirical prizes presented to Hollywood's worst actors.
