Rehab is a common word for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation is a process through which an individual may recover from an injury or illness in order to regain function, mobility, and optimal health. Multiple forms of rehabilitation are available for consumers today, and each focuses on different goals. Rehabilitation is also designed to teach strategies that help individuals overcome challenges caused by physical, mental, or emotional issues. Such rehab can be for physical or emotional reasons or for the treatment of drug addiction, substance abuse or alcoholism

Physical rehabilitation is designed for individuals suffering from injuries such as fractures, stroke, amputations, spinal cord damage or dysfunction, cardiac conditions, and any other illness or injury that reduces mobility and function. The goal of physical rehabilitation is to increase range of motion, mobility, function and quality of life.

Emotional rehabilitation may be considered a form of psychiatric or psychotherapies, designed to help individuals overcome abuse, fears, and phobias. Drug addiction rehabilitation and alcoholism rehabilitation begin with the process of detoxification, which basically reads the body of harmful and toxic substances before new lifestyle, habits and issues can be dealt with through group, private, or exposure type rehabilitative procedures, treatments and programs.

Drug rehabilitation facilities around the world provide affordable detox and rehab options for everyone. Privacy, security, and effective and life-lasting benefits can be found in places like Serbia, Croatia and Switzerland, just to name a few. Traditional detoxification can be found in places like Indus Valley Ayurveda Center in India or involve drug and substance abuse issues in places like the Vorobiev clinics in Russia and Serbia, or Sanoviv Medical Institute in Mexico, Terme Selce in Croatia and Yanhee Hospital in Thailand.
