Lindsay Lohan couldn't wait to get out of rehab, but her dad is angling to get in - to the business, that's.

Michael Lohan says watching his estranged daughter do multiple stints in alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs inspired him to move to California and open a center of his own.

"After seeing what my daughter, myself and others I now have been through, it has led me to realize these are my calling and purpose in life," he told UsMagazine.com.

Lohan, who's battled his own issues with drug and alcohol abuse, says his venture will focus on "mind, body, and soul" and that any clients' medical needs will be treated "at an associated hospital."

"It's a spiritual retreat," he told the gossip site.

And while Lohan has hinted at a celebrity backer, he says the center will have another major partner: God.

"The basis of the rehab will be that there's a God; that good conquer's evil; that the best way to live is to treat others like you want to be treated; and treat your body like a temple," he said.

Lohan, who regularly sparked family feuds by speaking out about daughter Lindsay's struggles with addiction this summer, says he hopes to reunite with his relatives.

"All I want to [do] is open this place and see my family, Dina and my children are in a good place. When that day comes, I'm done, I'm finished," he told Us.

Though Lindsay says her biggest challenge is overcoming "the trauma that my father has caused in my life," Michael has high hopes for helping others.

"all of the things that have happened to me in my life have led to this," he said.

"I know this is what God wants me to do first."
