Lindsay Lohan’s estranged father, Michael Lohan, has revealed his next goal in life–to open a faith-based rehab center. The publicity-loving Lohan tells UsMagazine.com that he moved from New York to Los Angeles specifically to start to this new venture.

“After seeing what my daughter, myself and other people I know have been through, it has led me to realize this is my calling and purpose in life,” he told UsMagazine. Lohan has struggled with both drug and alcohol addictions. He also was very outspoken about wanting his oldest daughter Lindsay to seek treatment during her legal troubles over the past few months.

Lohan says the rehab center won’t have doctors or medical treatment; instead it will be a “rehab that focuses on mind, body and soul. It is a spiritual retreat.” He goes on to explain there is no religious affiliation with the center, though “the basis of the rehab will be that there is a God; that good conquers evil; that the best way to live is to treat others like you want to be treated; and treat your body like a temple.”

A site for the rehab center hasn’t been found yet, but Lohan claims they’re getting close to getting if off the ground. “We’ve got the team in place, and the financing is all there,” he said.

Lohan is also quick to point out the center will be available to everyone, not just the rich and famous. “I’m not going to close my doors on anyone. We may offer a scholarship [to those in need],” he explains. “You don’t have to be Lindsay Lohan or Nicole Richie or Robert Downey Jr. or a celebrity to get rehab.”

“All of the things that have happened to me in my life have led to this. I know this is what God wants me to do first and foremost,” he concludes.
