What does REHAB mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
Short for rehabilitation: a structured programme of treatment and support to help someone recover from addiction, injury or illness.
Rehab is the everyday short form of rehabilitation, used most often for treatment programmes that help people overcome dependence on drugs or alcohol, though it also covers physical recovery after an injury or surgery. Someone might go into rehab, meaning they enter a residential or outpatient programme, or work through rehab exercises set by a physiotherapist after an operation. As a verb, to rehab something can also mean to renovate or restore a building, a somewhat different but related sense built on the same idea of bringing something back to a good state. The shortened form is now so common that it appears comfortably in ordinary conversation and news reporting alike, alongside the fuller word rehabilitation.
