"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.) —Ruakh_TALK 23:06, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
