Family business is usually kept within families, private, guarded, unless you are a Lohan.

Life writ large, as the family all seemingly have made their fame and fortune off the backs of their children, child actors and entities to farm out for personal appearance fees, business opportunities and the like.

But the warring parents Dina Lohan and Michael Lohan, a felon, have reached new heights as Michael tells the press about the squalor he found his two daughters in in a feeble attempt at an intervention, some say was spurred by TV rehabbing Dr. Drew Pinsky.

In an interview published by Radar Online, Dr. Drew detailed the unconventional method he'd implement to get Lindsay help.

"If she were my daughter, I would pack her car full with illegal substances, send her on her way, call the police, and make sure she was arrested," Dr. Drew said. "I would make sure she was not allowed to get out of jail
. I would then go to the judge and make sure she was ordered to a minimum of a three year sobriety program."

Michael Lohan tells UsMagazine.com that when a police officer accompanied him to daughter Lindsay Lohan's L.A. apartment on Thursday to check on the welfare of his 16-year-old daughter, Ali, everything was said to be "a mess."

"I said, 'Ali, it's dad, and I'm with the sheriffs,'" Michael told UsMagazine.com. "Ali poked her head out of the bedroom, and I walked up to her and I said, 'What's going on, honey? Are you okay?' and she started crying."

"Then I looked in the bedroom; there was a mattress on the floor with no furniture," he added. "Lindsay was laying on the mattress, sleeping."

When Lohan awoke, "looked like she was hit by a truck," said Michael, adding that her eyes were "pale and bloodshot, and her hair was a mess."

Michael said Lindsay walked up to him and asked why he was in her apartment. He told her that he wanted to check on both of his daughters, as well as sit down and talk to her.

"Then she said, 'Get out of my apartment!' She started yelling at the police," Michael said.

Lindsay took to her Twitter to say that her "ex-dad" walked into her apartment "like the devil's advocate."

"my lawyer isn't answering I NEED A RESTRAINING ORDER! MY SISTER AND FRIEND TOO!!!!! HE'S NUTS!!!" she wrote. "my BUILDING didn't STOP him, isn't it supposed to be safe? THAT'S WHY I MOVED HERE! it coulda been FAKE cops! dressed up!"
