Adamant: Lindsay Lohan has now reportedly told her team of lawyers she is only prepared to go to a 'lockdown' facility if she will be allowed to continue taking her medication for ADHD
Prosecutors are already said to be debating whether to send her to jail or undertake a 90-day stint in rehab.
But Lindsay Lohan has now reportedly told her team of lawyers she is only prepared to go to a 'lockdown' facility if she will be allowed to continue taking her medication for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Sources close to the 26-year-old actress have claimed she has taken the drug Adderall on a daily basis 'for years', and the troubled starlet is said to be prepared to 'take her chances at trial' if her lawyer Mark Heller can't find a rehab facility to accommodate her demands, TMZ reports.
Lindsay was first prescribed Adderall back in 2010 when she was diagnosed with the condition while behind bars for her previous misdemeanours, and is said to be adamant that she needs the prescription medication to function.
The 26-year-old was sentenced earlier this month to spend three months in a 'lockdown' facility after she was caught lying to cops during an investigation into a car crash in Malibu last July.
She's already spent time in regular rehab and a women's jail in Los Angeles for previous offences, which is what made the prospect of a 'prison-type' rehab a clear choice.
Lindsay's lawyer Mark Heller offered to prosecutors for the Mean Girls to spend her time in a rehab that would keep her against her will but TMZ reported that there is 'no such thing' as lockdown facility in the states of New York or California - not even across the entire United States.
Now prosecutors are re-evaluating what to do with Lindsay, but nothing has been decided. The case could easily land back in court where the judge may have to hand down a new verdict.

Of course Lindsay won't take the wait lying down, as she has instead chosen to spend her last moments of freedom party hopping in the south of Brazil.
The Liz & Dick actress was showing no signs of slowing down her party lifestyle in the wake of the ruling as she enjoyed yet another night out on Saturday.
Continuing her party tour of Brazil in the coastal resort of Florianopolis, the actress seemed to be in high spirits as she took to the DJ decks for a set.

The Mean Girls star has been in Brazil since Thursday after reportedly being paid a six-figure sum to launch John John Denim's flagship store in Sao Paulo.
And she was still doing her bit to support the brand on Saturday night, cutting a leggy figure in a sky blue John John Denim vest and a high-waisted black sequin skirt as she arrived at the nightclub.Â
Lindsay completed her party look with a branded navy blue baseball cap and Mary Jane platform heels as she enjoyed her third night out in a row.
The actress was looking happy and relaxed, in spite of her suffering a wardrobe malfunction when she arrived in picturesque Florianopolis earlier in the day.

Saved by the hair: The only thing keeping the 26-year-old from full exposure was her hair
Struggling to balance her bags and her headphones as she stepped off her helicopter, the star very nearly popped out of her dress altogether as her low-cut maxi shifted in the hasty getaway, almost revealing too-much of her ample chest.
Fortunately her long red hair was draped in a ponytail over her right shoulder, providing a natural barrier from a potential wardrobe malfunction.
Within a few steps all was back to normal for the Liz & Dick actress as she and her entourage left the heliport and presumably continued on their weekend of sun and fun.
Lindsay - who will enter a 90-day rehab in May after being charged for lying to police after a car crash last summer - has been in Brazil since Thursday, where she appeared at the opening of John John Denim's flagship store.

The former Disney star was reportedly paid $ 100,000 to walk the red carpet and say a few words at the event.
But of course she used the travel opportunity for vacation purposes as well, hitting up some of the best clubs in the city while she was there.
On Thursday she frantically left a nightclub after she was pictured trying to escape the crowd under a table.
The picture was tweeted by a Brazilian who had attended the party with the caption: 'Bafão! In party in Sao Paulo, Lindsay Lohan refuses to take pictures and hides under the DJ table.'

And on Friday she hit up several clubs that were taking part in the Lollapalooza festival, checking out performances by bands like The Killer and Hot Chip.
According to E! Online Brazil, Lindsay has been soaking in the music scene as she is working on a new album she hopes to release by the end of the year.
However, it seems the star has been trying to turn over a new leaf as according to Us Weekly she 'shocked' the crew of Anger Management this week, which she had a guest role on.

A source told Us Weekly magazine: 'She has showed up on time and early, and she has been very prepared and professional.
Her appearance on the show wasn't without controversy, as she was later accused of leaving the set with some items from the wardrobe department.
According to sources who told TMZ, Lindsay absconded with a two bracelets, a necklace, sunglasses, a pair of shoes, gold earrings, a silk bathrobe, lingerie and tap shorts - and later went clubbing wearing some of the items.
