Addiction comes in many forms, and so does recovery. “Rehab," short for "rehabilitation," is a general term for intensive, supervised programs designed to help people stop using alcohol and other drugs and give them the tools they need to live a healthy life.

Rehab can help you or someone you love safely end substance use and maintain recovery after completing withdrawal. Rehab programs vary in length and form of treatment. No single treatment works for everyone, and an unbiased medical professional can help you decide if rehab is the right decision, based on your situation.
