"She finally realizes it's the right thing to do," In Touch quoted a friend of the actress as saying. "She is going willingly."

The report came as the Web site x17online.com posted photos showing LiLo -- who won't be able to drink legally until she turns 21 on July 2 -- taken just 48 hours after the crash. They show a seemingly wasted Lohan passed out in the passenger seat of a car driven by friend and deejay to the stars Samantha Ronson.

"It's a tough time for her right now," said a close friend, who asked not to be identified. "Everyone is hoping that this is a learning lesson to all."
