Los Angeles ( CNN ) -- Amanda Bynes is `` making great strides towards recovery '' from mental illness , her parents said Monday . The actress has been moved from UCLA Medical Center , where she had been treated since late July , to a private treatment facility outside Los Angeles for `` specialized treatment , '' the statement from Rick and Lynn Bynes said . The transfer was recommended `` by the skilled health care professionals at UCLA , '' they said . Bynes , 27 , was placed under an involuntary psychiatric hold two months ago after she was involved in a disturbance in a residential neighborhood in Thousand Oaks , California . Her mother was granted conservatorship over her daughter under a California mental health law . She has since dropped her petition for conservatorship in probate court `` in an effort not to duplicate conservator rights , '' the statement said . The actress , who got her start on Nickelodeon with programs `` All That '' and `` The Amanda Show , '' faces three misdemeanor charges relating to an incident involving a bong allegedly tossed from her Manhattan apartment in May . In addition , she also has a DUI case pending in Southern California , while a pair of separate hit-and-run charges against her were dismissed last year . CNN 's Jennifer Wolfe contributed to this report .
