Is Rehab A Hospital?

The Daily Mirror caught my attention this morning because they had the following headline: "Mischa Barton out of rehab and heading back to work." Not that I know everything but I read enough and hear enough that it kind of shocked me that I hadn't heard she was in rehab. I mean everyone assumes she had this three day coke bender and that is what finally pushed her into the hospital but no one said anything about rehab. I must read more. Well it turns out that it is only a headline and that The Mirror is referring to the hospital itself as rehab, like as in rehabilitation clinic for your mental issues as opposed to what everyone else in the world would construe rehab to mean when taken in the sense of a Mischa Barton article.

In fact, the entire article is just six lines long and takes up less space than the headline. It worked. They got me to click and to read.
