Recovery may means treatable case which can return the patient to the previous functioning level. While rehabilitation process means to maximize the patient’s ability to perform in terms of ADL, IADL, work, leisure, play and educational aspects. It does not necessary means to return the patient to the fullest occupational function but to enable the patient to maximize the available function and to achieve maximum satisfaction.

Recovery is getting someone through a bad episode, usually 2 weeks
Rehab is a long term treatment.
