Drug rehabilitation (often drug rehab or just rehab) is a
term for the processes of medical and/or psychotherapeutic treatment, for
dependency on psychoactive substances such as
alcohol,
prescription drugs, and so-called
street drugs such as
cocaine,
heroin or
amphetamines. The general intent is to enable the patient to cease substance
abuse, in order to avoid the psychological, legal, financial, social, and
physical consequences that can be caused, especially by extreme abuse.
