The actress is spending roughly $867/day to stay at the famed Betty Ford Center in Rancho Mirage, so let's hope she gets her money's worth!

Patients live in gender-specific residence halls - that means no hooking up with other male patients like at Cirque Lodge, Lindsay! - on the 20 acre campus. (Check out pix of the rehab facility in the gallery below...)

Each patient is assigned a team of ELEVEN people to assist them: a physician, nurse, psychologist, primary counselor, case manager, spiritual care counselor, family counselor, dietitian, fitness trainer, chemical dependency technician and alumni services representative. Damn! Talk about a support team.

Daily activities include individual therapy, specialty groups, fitness (with activities like yoga, kickboxing and personal trainer sessions), educational lectures and group therapy. BFC also offers acupuncture and puts a strong emphasis on meditation.

Here's the center's daily schedule:

    6am - Wake up


    7am - Breakfast/Nicotine counseling


    8am - Meditation/Morning lecture


    9am - Discuss lecture with peers/Community introductions


    10am - Small group therapy


    Noon - Lunch


    1pm - Relapse prevention


    2pm - Break/work on assignments


    3:30pm - Fitness


    5pm - Med call


    5:30pm - Dinner


    6:30pm - Fitness/free time


    7pm - Newcomer meeting (Linds will attend this for her first five days)


    8pm - 12 step meeting/Medallion ceremony


    9pm - Free time


Sounds like a busy day! But a bigger question remains: Will Linds receive any special celebrity treatment? Perhaps the 24-year-old will get her own room, but perks in general seem highly unlikely as BFC is an old school rehabilitation center.

I mean, Liz Taylor went there! How Hollywood can you get? The main problem LiLo will probably encounter is smoking her cigs - yes, doing so is permitted, but only in designated areas. And visiting hours are limited to Sunday.

We assume mom Dina and manager slash life coach Lou Taylor (who's likely paying for all this) are staying nearby. Guess they'll have to wait a few days to see how Linds is doing! Maybe Samantha Ronson will make the trek to Palm Springs for a visit, too.
