Lindsay Lohan: "I Hit Rock Bottom"
Working on a film after completing a court-ordered stint in a Utah rehabilitation facility, Lindsay Lohan says she has a game plan to stay out of trouble.
Lohan checked out of Cirque Lodge on Friday and flew to Los Angeles with her father, Michael, over the weekend, according to published reports.
"I'm going back to shoot 'Dare to Love Me,' but I plan on returning to Utah so I can stay focused and avoid other distractions," she tells OK! magazine in her first post-rehab interview.
Lohan says she plans to steer clear of Hollywood's hectic nightclub scene and worries that she might relapse.

"If I wasn't [worried] I'd be living in denial," she said. "Temptation is always there. But now I'll avoid it the right way."
Lohan is said to have a small role in "Dare To Love Me," a biopic about Argentine tango legend Carlos Gardel. The film, due out in 2008, is being produced and directed by Alfonso Arau ("Like Water For Chocolate").
The 21-year-old actress was arrested in May after she crashed her Mercedes-Benz into a tree in Beverly Hills. She was arrested a second time in an incident where a woman claimed she was being chased by an SUV that Lohan was driving. Police say Lohan was in possession of small amounts of cocaine in both cases.
Lohan reached a plea deal in August on misdemeanor drunken driving and cocaine charges stemming from the arrests. The deal called for her to enter treatment, spend a day in jail and perform community service.
She says the arrests were the breaking point for her.
"I hit rock bottom," she says. "Everything in my life came to a point where I had to make a decision."
