Rehab, short for rehabilitation, is a process of helping people recover from physical, mental, or substance abuse problems. The goal of rehabilitation is to help individuals regain their independence and improve their quality of life. Rehab can take many forms depending on the type of problem being addressed.


Physical rehabilitation, for example, focuses on helping people recover from injuries or illnesses that have affected their ability to move, function, or perform daily activities. This type of rehab often involves physical therapy, occupational therapy, and other forms of specialized care.


Mental rehabilitation, on the other hand, aims to help individuals recover from mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This type of rehab may include counseling, medication, or other forms of therapy.


Substance abuse rehabilitation is aimed at helping people overcome addictions to drugs or alcohol. This type of rehab can take many forms, including medical detoxification, counseling, and support groups. The goal of substance abuse rehabilitation is to help individuals achieve long-term recovery and lead fulfilling lives without the use of drugs or alcohol.
