There are many misconceptions about the way rehab is conducted, especially when it’s in regard to the different treatments offered at rehab centers. For the most part, these misconceptions come from the way rehab is shown to be in TV and movies. Whenever rehab plays a role in a movie or show, they almost always show group therapy as the only thing that happens in the rehab center. While the multitude of people who attend group therapy means more interactions to put on film, rehab uses a lot more tools than just talking to a group of people. .
