It doesn't look like Amanda Bynes will be leaving Las Encinas hospital anytime soon.

E! News confirms that the troubled actress' stay at the Pasadena, Calif., treatment facility has been extended after a judge ruled to order an additional 30 days of involuntary commitment on Monday. No other details are being provided at this time.

Bynes has been on psychiatric hold at the center for 17 days so far, and her stay was already extended once before.

The former child star first entered Las Encinas on Oct. 10 and was placed on a 72-hour hold, however, once her time at the center was coming to an end, it was extended for 14 more days.

Had the judge not chosen to extend Bynes' involuntary commitment for another month, she would have been free to leave the facility yesterday.

Las Encinas provides "a wide range of behavioral health care treatment options are offered for patients with psychiatric, chemical dependency, or co-occurring disorders," according to its website. The specific reasoning behind Bynes' admission has not been revealed.

Bynes' psychiatric hold came on the heels of her shocking sexual abuse allegations against her father. "My dad was verbally and physically abuse to me as a child," she wrote on Twitter. "He called me ugly as a child and then asked me if I wanted to have sex with him and i did not know how to respond and I said no and then I was forced to live with my dad which was a total nightmare."

Bynes later recanted her allegations on Twitter, writing, "My dad never did any of those things The microchip in my brain made me say those things but he's the one that ordered them to microchip me."

She previously completed a six-month rehab treatment program last year.
