"The Insider" is bringing you behind the gates of the posh rehab facility where
LINDSAY LOHAN is currently receiving treatment.
We're talking to a woman who was Lindsay's fellow patient at the Cirque Lodge in Utah until only days ago. Our
VICTORIA RECANO interviewed the woman we'll only refer to as
JANE P.
Jane says that when Lindsay arrived, "She waved at me and said hello."
According to Jane, Lindsay was constantly escorted around the facility, and Jane says that people were resentful of that because they felt that she was getting preferential treatment, saying, "That much kowtowing to is very unnerving."
On top of that, Jane says of Lindsay, "She's not allowed to talk to people."
Jane tells us that there are two areas of the facility -- the lodge and the studio. She tells us the lodge is more intimate, exclusive and expensive (costing up to $65,000 per month for a private room), and only houses about 14 patients, while the studio has about 28 people living there. Jane tells us Lindsay is currently staying in the lodge but Jane believes she would like to be transferred to the studio because there are more of her peers there.
She also tells us that Lindsay will be able to receive visitors for the first time this Sunday, but that anyone whom she has partied with will not be allowed to visit.
Jane empathizes with the young starlet, saying, "I feel for her because she's very young and for a 21-year-old to look at the rest of their life and not be able to party and have fun is going to be very difficult."

ET has an exclusive account of
LINDSAY LOHAN's rehab stay from a fellow patient who just completed treatment at the Cirque Lodge in Utah.
JANE P., who left the center on Tuesday, says she believes Lindsay checked into the center last Thursday night -- and that her arrival and stay has been disruptive to other men and women in the program.
"Rumors [that she would be coming into the rehab facility] started after she had been arrested again," says Jane, "but it was never confirmed until she came, at which point we were given a complete rundown of things we could not do or say due to the confidentiality at the time we are staying there."
"Before I left, she had not attended any group meetings, other than the AA meeting, and she was supposedly given a private room," Jane adds when asked if Lindsay was given special treatment at the facility. "She's not being required to attend [meetings] like the other residents are ... she is being escorted around privately, so to me that is special treatment."
When asked how the star's presence affected the environment at the facility, Jane says, "Things became more tense amongst the staff ... a lot of havoc was going on ... so things changed."
Jane adds that Lindsay's appearance at the facility started to make the other people staying there "uncomfortable." "Most of the young people were excited about having her come so that they could help her," she says. "It's very important for people to work together, and you see that people of your own age, your own peers are going through the same thing, however that was not the case [with Lindsay]. ... [After that first] meeting, when she toured the facility on Sunday, she hasn't been seen."
