Lindsay Lohan's Dad: "I Thought She Was Overdosed or Dead"

Lindsay Lohan's dad, Michael Lohan loves talking about his troubled daughter . In a chat with Us weekly , Michael thinks Lindsay can get back on track.

Us: Are you relieved to hear she's checked into Promises, a respectable treatment center?

Michael Lohan: I'm glad she's there and trying to get help. I hope she stays away from Samantha Ronson and all the people who have been negative influences. That includes the bodyguard, the assistants.... Lindsay needs to clean house. She needs to get God back in her life and put her family in her life. She's gotta start all over again from where she started when she was at her best.

Us: Is Lindsay religious?
ML: I wouldn't say religious. I'd say faithful. She believes in God.

Us: How did you find out she was in rehab? Did your ex-wife Dina call or someone from her camp?
ML: No. There was speculation, but I haven't heard from Dina. I'm still trying to arrange a sit down. I've put the past behind me.

Us: Why do you think no one from Lindsay’s camp called you?
ML: They're afraid of my relationship with Lindsay. You see, this is the problem. Unless they start [including me], Lindsay is never going to get better.

Us: Have you spoken to your probation officer about going to Promises yet?
ML: I'm talking to them tomorrow.
