You’re not mixing up substance abuse rehabilitation with injury rehabilitation are you? “Rehab” is shorthand for the former and also for the latter, which is commonly known as physical therapy. Any kind of injury that doesn’t just heal up on its own can require physical rehab. usually things with damaged joins, broken bones or torn muscles, tendons or ligaments. Chronic ailments also can require physical therapy.
So one with say, MS, like Stephen Hawking, would need to be in rehab for the rest of their life, (though Stephen is too far gone at this point, you have to be able to move at all…) Early stage MS though.

Spinal injury, amputation, brain injury, stroke, sudden onset of blindness. In fact pretty much anything that happens suddenly, where a person needs to re-learn how to do basic tasks. Like how to get dressed when you can’t move your legs, for instance.
