According to the Chicago Sun-Times, a longtime friend of Lohan’s says yet another attempt at convincing Lohan to return to rehab was derailed this past weekend.

“The only problem was, she saw David Trent [a close friend of her father, Michael Lohan] and immediately bolted,” said the source.

The attempted intervention took place during a party at the West Hollywood home of shipping heir Stavros Niarchos in the wee hours of Friday morning—Paris Hilton and her sister, Nicky, were also in attendance, but they were not involved in the attempted intervention, which took place in another part of the Niarchos house.

At nearly 7:00 am, several friends tried to get Lohan alone in a private area, but Lohan quickly departed after spotting her father’s friend, according to the source.

Though Lohan spent nearly five hours partying at the Niarchos house, “She kept moving from room to room…She was clearly hyped-up on more than just booze. It was impossible to corner her, until a few people tried to—in a bathroom when it was nearly dawn,” added the source, who seemed deeply concerned about Lohan.

Reportedly, Lohan’s former girlfriend Samantha Ronson has tried to talk the actress into getting help with her addiction, as did Lohan’s friend Courtney Semel, who recently left rehab and attempted to talk to Lohan about getting help at a Hollywood party earlier in the week.

"I had a conversation with her, her mother and everyone…over the next couple of weeks I’m going to be doing things in a pretty public way," Michael told RadarOnline.com. "But (Lindsay’s mother) has got to get on the same page with me. It’s a serious situation. You can’t just talk about it and tell me that you want to do an intervention and then do nothing."

The Daily News’ Cristina Everett writes that Michael Lohan previously revealed that his daughter has been abusing prescription drugs.

"I’m going to get her off the prescription drugs that she’s on," he said. "I hate it when people talk about illegal drug abuse… because it’s not just drinking and illegal drugs that kill you. Prescription drugs can destroy and kill a person and are sometimes harder to stop. Look at Heath Ledger and Michael Jackson."

He added, "You know why Lindsay’s not acting in feature films right now? Because she can’t. Because the girl with all the talent is hidden and buried deep inside this fungus that’s grown because of the prescription drugs. She can’t be herself. When you hug her she’s like, vacant inside."

According to a source, the 23-year-old actress has been relying on a multitude of prescription medications, including Adderall (used to treat Attention Deficit Disorder), the anti-depressant Zoloft, and anti-anxiety and bi-polar drugs.

Despite the backlash from those who say Michael is betraying his daughter’s privacy by speaking to the media, he is confident in his parenting skills.

"When Lindsay doesn’t adhere or listen to what I say about serious situations, I feel I have to speak publicly to put pressure on her," he said. "If she doesn’t take my advice and do what I say…the more pressure I put on her, the more likely she is to eventually do the right thing."

The eight-episode series follows Goldstein as he tries to help addicts get sober. AM captures the addicts on camera to show them what they are doing to themselves and to their families. In a format similar to that of A&E’s “Intervention,” the show progresses to an intervention and the addict going to rehab.

Goldstein seemed in good spirits while trying to help Amy, who was willing to go to rehab after shooting up one last time in an airport. Throughout her rehab process, AM made frequent journeys to her treatment facility to show his support.

In a follow-up with Amy seven weeks after she completed her treatment—and after Goldstein’s death—she said he shouldn’t be remembered for the way he died. She said he gave her a chance to live and that she’ll be forever thankful.

Top drug intervention specialists are Board Registered and many also have another degree or specialization, such as being a certified chemical dependency counselor.

The drug intervention allows the family to create a controlled environment in which the addict learns how their addiction has impacted loved ones and then learns about options for treatment.  It’s important for family members to be ready and willing to listen to the drug interventionist and take his or her advice. If family members are not fully committed to the process, the addict will often find a way to manipulate the situation and still avoid treatment.

Drug addiction hurts not only the addict. The family is often demoralized, frustrated, and tired of making excuses, fixing problems created by the addiction, and falling for the promises of abstinence from drugs.

Many families also hire a drug intervention specialist to help them choose the right treatment program. Interventionists are well versed in the various types of treatment available and they often spend time at the facilities, talking to the clinical staff, and making sure the treatment meets the highest standards.
