This article presents the results of several magnetic phases of doped La$_{2-x}$Sr$_x$CuO$_4$ using density-functional theory with an added Hubbard term (DFT+U). Doping factors from $x=0$ to 0.25 were examined. We found that a bond centered stripe is the magnetic ground state for $x=1/8$ and $x=1/4$. No stable stripe order was found for $x=1/6$. Analysis of the electron density revealed that apical oxygen atoms, those located above and below the copper atoms in the CuO$_2$ planes, hold a non negligible part of the holes at large doping and present a small spin polarization. Finally, the charge reorganization caused by the magnetic stripe modulation was studied for bond centered and atom centered stripes.
