On Friday, Lindsay reportedly checked out of the Cirque Lodge, a drug and alcohol treatment center in Utah. She had entered treatment in August after reaching a plea deal on misdemeanor drunken driving and cocaine charges following two arrests.
Lohan says in an interview with OK! magazine that "It was a sobering experience," . "It was humbling. It made me look at myself, and all of the people, places and things in my life in a different way. I was in there for substance abuse, after all."
She also added - "I'm staying in Utah until it's time to shoot `Dare to Love Me,' and then I plan on returning to Utah so I can stay focused, and avoid other distractions," she tells OK!
When asked whether she's worried about a relapse, Lohan said: "Of course I am! If I wasn't I'd be living in denial. Temptation is always there but now I'll avoid it the right way."
Lohan — who recently reunited with her father, Michael Lohan, after a 3 1/2-year estrangement — tells In Touch Weekly that her parents' divorce triggered her behavior.
"The trouble in my family resulted in me rebelling and doing things to get my parents' attention," she says."But all in all, it's better for me now to have them. It's healthy."
Lindsay says she's cutting out the people who encouraged her substance abuse.
"Those are the ones who are around me for the wrong reasons," she says. "The people who want to go out and party, that's not what I am about now."
"I just want to apologize to any of my fans that look up to me, especially my younger fans, for setting the examples that I didn't mean to set," she tells In Touch. "That is one of the reasons that I want to change things."
