addiction treatment clinic or program
A clinic or program where people get help to stop using drugs or alcohol.
الگوی کاربرد:
[someone] is in rehab (for [addiction])

هممعنیها
treatment center (More general and slightly more formal; can be for many kinds of medical or psychological problems, not only addiction.)
متضادها
active addiction (Describes the opposite situation, where someone is still using drugs or alcohol rather than being in treatment.)

process of renovating a building
Work done to fix and improve an old or damaged building so people can use it again.
الگوی کاربرد:

Learners may not realize that "rehab" can refer to buildings, not just people. In real-estate and construction contexts, it is a common short way to say "renovation".
هممعنیها
renovation (Very close in meaning; more common in formal and written English, while "rehab" can sound slightly more informal or real-estate focused.)
متضادها
demolition (Opposite in that a building is destroyed instead of being repaired and improved.)

treat someone for addiction
To help someone stop using drugs or alcohol by putting them in a special treatment program.
الگوی کاربرد:
to rehab [someone] for [addiction]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes use "rehab" as a verb in very formal writing; in those contexts, "rehabilitate" is usually preferred. "Rehab" as a verb sounds more informal or conversational.
هممعنیها
treat (More general medical word; does not specifically mean using a rehabilitation program for addiction.)
متضادها
enable (In this context, helping someone continue their addiction, which is the opposite of trying to rehab them.)
