Lindsay Lohan the troubled actress is trying to link back with her old friends. Currently she is in a court-ordered rehabilitation stay at the Betty Ford Clinic in California until early January 2011.
The actress is said to be using her two-hour weekly internet usage time to try and make amends with former pals. According to TMZ, maximum people Lindsay has been getting back in touch with are those she cut out of her life when they tried to tell her she had a problem with excessive drinking and drug taking.
Last week, pals at the clinic claimed Lindsay was finding her time there hard and was feeling lonely. A source said: "At the moment she is finding it tough being in rehab and she misses her friends and family.
"Lindsay has not made any great friends inside the clinic, she is just trying to keep her head down and get on with things."
Her current trip to rehab is her fifth attempt at getting clean and sober and follows her breaking the terms of her probation for a 2007 driving under the influence (DUI) case.
In September, she tested positive for two drugs in her system, leading to her new stay in rehab.
However, she avoided an expected jail term for the relapse, and was instead told to stay in rehab until early next year.

Lindsay Lohan Seeks Shorter Probation
Lindsay Lohan's legal team reportedly want the length of her court-ordered probation presently scheduled to run until August 2011 lessened. Apparently they're all a little worried she'll get into trouble before the period ends.
Lindsay is presently in the Betty Ford rehab center in Los Angeles, following two spells in prison this summer. She served 13 days of a 90-day jail term in July before briefly being returned in September after failing drug tests, although she was released hours later on $300,000 bail.
A source explained to PerezHilton.com: "The longer Lindsay stays on probation, the increased chances that she will get in trouble because of problems staying compliant with the terms of her probation.
“The only person that can modify terms of Lindsay's probation, or terminate it early, is Judge Elden Fox."
The actress could again face a return to prison, as she is due in court on October 22 for a probation hearing after her failed drug tests. Friends of the star have said she isn’t worried by this prospect, however, and is prepared to return to jail.One pal said:
“The fact is jail doesn't scare Lindsay. Before she did her time earlier this summer, she was petrified. Having spent time behind bars, it doesn't have that effect on her. Jail isn't a deterrent for her, period.”
