LOS ANGELES - Lindsay Lohan has checked into rehab. Again.

The move followed a weekend during which the actress, who is a month shy of her 21st birthday, crashed her Mercedes, was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence, and was photographed slumped in the passenger seat of a friend's car.

Lohan "admitted herself to an intensive medical rehabilitation facility" on Monday, according to a statement released by her publicist, Leslie Sloane Zelnick.

The statement added, "Because this is a medical matter, it is our hope that the press will appreciate the seriousness of the situation and respect the privacy of Lindsay as well as the other patients receiving treatment at the facility."

This is Lohan's second rehab stint this year. She said in January that she had checked into a rehabilitation center for substance abuse treatment.
