"Something that has been rehabilitated." Equinox ◑ 21:38, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
- That's a bit vague. Besides the currently popular "addiction" rehabs, there are physical rehab (physical/occupational therapy), which fills sports pages, and housing rehab. I believe that housing units or buildings that have been rehabilitated are called rehabs. It is possible that people under care in a rehab facility (physical or addiction) are called rehabs, especially by those working there or responsible for funding the care.

- It might be easier to call "rehab" an abbreviation of "rehabilitation" and "rehabilitated". DCDuring TALK 23:09, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
RFV failed, sense removed. I looked for cites supporting DCDuring's belief above, "that housing units or buildings that have been rehabilitated are called rehabs", but all I found were cites using rehab in reference to the rehabilitation process itself. (I did find a few that were ambiguous — "The rehab was almost complete" could mean "The house was almost complete" — but none that I considered convincing.) —RuakhTALK 23:06, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
