While LiLo is completing her fifth stint in rehab, Betty Ford decided to share some bling! Gossip Ain’t Sweet, has exclusively learned about the inside secret ceremony at the famed Betty Ford Center, and only GAS has all the details.

Over the past weekend, Lohan was what inside sources to the Betty Ford Center call “coined out”.  A special and sacred ritual that only successful graduates of the 30 day inpatient program participate in.

After dinner and a required AA meeting, Lindsay walked into her dorm to find a celebration cake made of decadent chocolate and raspberry filled cake topped with french vanilla bean ice cream. Some of her dorm mates made homemade cards, flowers from the compound garden, gifts that the women in her hall bought at the Betty Ford Center gift shop, and even a few personal possessions were given to LiLo.

In addition to the makeshift party, gift bags filled with miscellaneous munchies of gum, lollipops and other goodies were given out were handed out by one rehab-er.

Lindsay Lohan has made wonderful life long friends within the walls at Betty Ford, the woman were brought to tears when it was her official last day in the dorm. One wish to Lindsay was ” a life long wish of love and loving herself, and that all her dreams come true in this world….” The patient was brought to tears on the realization that her new found friend would not be there for her coin out ceremony. Lindsay made a heartfelt promises her new BFC buddy, to personally come back when it was her time to leave the center grounds.

After the sober party was over, the ladies got down to true sisterhood business. The group all sat down and took turns in the “private Betty Ford coin ceremony”, only shared with alumni and current patients of the Betty Ford Center.

One by one, the ladies take turns passing around a brass medallion, not much bigger than a silver dollar, the coin engraved with “Betty Ford Center At Eisenhower” on the front. The back of the coin is engraved with “God, grant me the serenity To accept the things I can not change the courage to change the things I can and wisdom to know the difference“, only GAS has the exclusive pictures of the medallion.

With each turn, the women of Betty Ford share how they have watched Lohan grow and change spiritually, making a wish for Lindsay out loud, kissing the coin and pass it to the next person.

The coin represents all that is positive about the rehab experience, and it is believed by the women who have walked through the BFC doors, that the wishes remain inside the coin, so at a persons low points they can reflect on the coin significance, and know that no matter where they are in the world they are spiritually connected.

Betty Ford Center insider reveals exclusively to GAS that nothing was ever said negatively in regards to Lindsay, “she was every ones friend and opened up to so many woman, when she returns to her world she has the tools she needs to make it, she will be just fine!”

Lindsay Lohan, told the women that she looks forward to being an active alumni member to Betty Ford Center and is very positive about living life sober, shares an insider.

“Lindsay has a temporary sponsor, she has been moved into the “RDT” program, which is designed for women who require extra time in rehab, long care treatment.” says a source close to the center.

Lindsay will be attending her required inpatient programs, for the length of her required stay.

Now that Lohan has graduated the traditional rehab stay, she is now moved over to the Rancho Las Palmas property, a group of townhouses owned by the Betty Ford Center, and shared by the Rancho Mirage Marriott golf resort. R.D.T., which stands for “residential day treatment”, was created to extent an after care program for the residents.

Lohan, while enjoying the desert view of the putting green out her living room window, which she shares with 5 other women. The townhouse are routinely checked by staff at a minimum of three times per day and night.

With a touch a freedom, does come new rules, A strict 10 PM curfew is in effect, an option of dinning in as long as the house can agree and afford a meal, which is a rare occurrence says source. Lohan may now use the house phone after a day of therapy for 15 minutes in the evening. While the ladies of the R.D.T. program are not allowed internet access or regular TV.

If Lohan chooses to hit the town on designated days, she must be accompanied at all times either by a official Betty Ford technician or two or more roommates. Limited activities that are allowed, include a quick trip to a local market to pick up required necessities or catch a flick. As long as the girls attend one outside AA meeting, they won’t loose any privileges.

Upon Lohan’s return she is searched, along with being tested for any alcohol or drugs that she might have picked up while out.

For Lindsay sake let’s hope Jeremy London isn’t cruising the Palm Springs strip or climbing any palm trees over the next few months!

Our hats are off to Lindsay, on the awesome progress she is making. Keep up the great work Lindsay!
