Michelin provide a published restaurant guide every year, and awards 'stars' for excellence to deserving establishments whose food and wine meet the guide's extremely high standards.

Anonymous inspectors travel the world and write reports and award stars as appropriate - stars are very hard to get, and guarentee a rerstaurant's success for the yearly span of the award.

In the instance you have quoted, the writer is making ironic use of the system to infer that Forrest is so experienced in using rehab units, he has become a 'guide' for them. The reference is ironic, and not intended to be taken literally.
