Mom wants me to lie about my sister being in detox

My sister and I are both grown adults but my mom has asked me to lie about where she's at when we go to a family event this weekend. My mom also told me last night that my sister does not know that I know where she's at and instead she's in some sort of "life skills program." I see this as enabling and refuse to lie, however, I also don't think I should be the one to tell extended family members when the subject of where she is (inevitably) comes up. So....do I tell people the truth - that she's in detox again? Or do I say...you'll just have to ask my mom? She's putting me in an incredibly uncomfortable position and I'm really not sure how to respond to it. Any suggestions?
