Journey to Wonderland: Rehab Facility or Celebrity Resort?

With all this talk about everyone in Hollywood shoving off to rehab, I thought it would be a good idea to take a look at what's really going on out there in "La-La Land." Since Lindsay Lohan's admission into a rehabilitation program on January 17^th 2007, websites have been abuzz with talk about her recent appearances seemingly everywhere BUT the facility itself.

Currently, fellow residents are fuming about the apparent "revolving door" access that Ms. Lohan seems to be fully utilizing. The center where Lindsay is supposedly receiving all this wonderful care for her alcoholism is called Wonderland. Stories circulating on celeb gossip websites are claiming that fellow residents are beginning to take offense to Ms. Lohan's comings and goings. Gossip sites also report that the other residents are beginning to request the same liberties that Lindsay's been privileged to have. Keeping this in mind, one has to wonder exactly how rigid the treatments REALLY are in Wonderland...

A TRIP TO WONDERLAND

With a name like "Wonderland", one would expect to find grand rooms, lush gardens, and Five-Star service. If that's what you were thinking, then you are correct. Located in the "Boho Celeb" area of Laurel Canyon, the facility is literally teeming with luxury. Inpatient rooms are adorned with high vaulted ceilings, huge fluffy beds, and high-end minimalist furniture. Some rooms in the private, gated estate overlook one of the center's two swimming pools. Located close to film and recording studios, the Wonderland Center actually takes pride in the fact that the accommodations more closely resemble a resort than a rehabilitation facility. Nestled in the rustic surroundings of the canyon, the three acres of land it sits on are fraught with exotic plantlife, winding trails, and all the makings of a Five-Star Inn. Amongst the amenities offered are first-class food service, and beauty and spa services. With treatment like this, who would ever want to leave?
