The “Mean Girls” star, who turned 21 on July 2, left Promises Malibu Alcohol and Drug Rehab Treatment Facility on Friday, according to a re- port on People magazine’s website Sunday. She will voluntarily wear an alcohol-detecting ankle bracelet as part of an intensive outpatient program, said her publicist, Leslie Sloane Zelnik, in a statement. On Saturday, Lohan was reportedly seen party- ing at Pure Nightclub in Las Vegas with several friends. “In part she is wearing the bracelet so there are no questions about her sobriety if she chooses to go dancing or dining in a place where alcohol is served,” Zelnik said. Lohan checked into the swank facility after a wild Memorial Day weekend during which she crashed her Mercedes Benz into a curb, was ar- rested on suspicion of driving under the influence and was photographed slumped in the passenger seat of a friend’s car. Her outpatient program includes going to Alco- holics Anonymous meetings, taking daily tests and receiving therapy. “She’s doing great,” Zelnik said. “Lindsay is working hard on her sobriety and we are all sup- porting her.” It was the star’s second stint in rehab this year.
