X17 EXCLUSIVE - Lindsay Lohan Attends Alcohol Education Outside Of Betty Ford

The Betty Ford beauty has finally emerged in broad daylight! And she's NOT doing all her classes on the BF campus anymore ...

Looks like Lilo got time off for good behavior and is now allowed out to attend out-patient therapy in venues around town in Palm Desert.

Lindsay Lohan also visited an oral surgeon in Palm Desert yesterday for some follow-up work on the wisdom teeth she had removed back in June of this year. And because the dentist gave her a mild sedative to do the work, Linds spent last night on the main campus of Betty Ford to be monitored...

Now LiLo is back in action today! The 24-year-old starlet is looking good, right?

Lindsay first checked into the Betty Ford Center, which costs $26,000/month, at the end of September and is due to stay until January 3, 2011.

After the first 30 days, LiLo then moved out of the Palm Springs rehab center and into a Betty Ford-owned sober house. Here she is receiving "residential day treatments" but is able to do her own grocery shopping and other errands under supervision.

And while Lindsay has been in rehab (the fifth time around), she's been able to visit with her family as well as friends, like former BFF Samantha Ronson, on Sundays.

Think Linds will be able to keep up the good work until January of next year? We're all rooting for her!
