Lindsay Lohan is “in denial” about being a drug addict and doesn’t realize her substance abuse issues “could kill her” — this according to one of her closest confidants.

Lohan is headed back to rehab in the next 48 hours — and while a final decision hasn’t been made on the destination — sources tell RadarOnline.com the Mean Girls star is closely looking at the Betty Ford Clinic in Rancho Mirage, California, which is just outside Palm Springs.

This will be Lohan’s fifth time entering a rehab facility for substance abuse, her second stint this year, with the most recent being a 22-day stint at UCLA’s Medical Center in August following her 14-day prison term.

But according to the source, "Lindsay is still in denial about being an addict and doesn't realize this disease can kill her.”

“She is in denial about the power this disease has over her,” said the insider.

“Even though she has been to jail twice in recent months, it hasn't changed Lindsay's underlying behavior.

“Lindsay is willing to get help, but she doesn't seem to grasp the severity of her drug addiction."

A 30-day inpatient program at Betty Ford, one of the best in North America, costs approximately $26,000.

Lohan will have access to the campus’ 20-acre state of the art facility that is privately gated and armed with security around the clock, as well as the center’s promise of a “lifetime of support” after she leaves the program.

The Betty Ford Center has hosted many notable celebrities such as Anna Nicole Smith, Keith Urban, Robert Downey Jr. and Chevy Chase.

RadarOnline.com has also learned Judge Elden Fox, who remanded Lohan into custody with no bail pending her probation violation hearing on October 22, could haul the starlet back into his courtroom.

“There is a small chance Judge Fox could place further restrictions on her bail pending the next hearing,” said one legal source, involved in the case.

“But nothing phases Lindsay anymore.

“Everyone around Lindsay is hoping that this time will be different for her in rehab, but this disease is controlling her.”

If she is still in denial, then this is a waste of time and money on her part. She is only doing this in hopes that it will keep her out of jail and once all of this is behind her, she will be back on her drugs and alcohol.

The Betty Ford Clinic is a lightweight compared to Hazeldon. Most BF clients end up at Hazeldon. Big deal if patients mop floors and are assigned chores. Ford is like a day care clinic for the wealthy.

Addicts lie. That's a fact. Actresses that are addicts are even better at being excellent liars. Combine that with a mother/role model who has demonstrated to all of us she lies with ease, and you've got Lindsay Lohan. We've seen this all before.

Please don't believe the lies Radar post, they all come from Michael Lohan. Lindsay has already admitted she has a problem and by saying just that is a step in the right direction. If you don't like her, don't click on the story

You are full of crap. Your intense dislike for Michael Lohan is the driving force behind your distortion of the facts. You have been once again duped by LL. She goes through these same machinations everytime she is caught doing drugs.

I didn`t realize you personally knew her. No one here or anyone commenting on any gossip site knows her intentions or whether she`s being truthful or not about those intentions. You have just as much hatred for her.

I do not believe LL is contrite or admits to anything. I think she is stuck in the lie/deny mode her mother has taught her. I'm sick of her. I don't even care what happens to her anymore. You cannot help/support someone who is so dishonest.
