actually, yes, a person can surrender on day 1 of rehab. they can surrender even before day 1 of rehab- thats how they get to rehab and start to get rehabilitated.
think about what rehab is short for- rehabilitation
-the action of restoring someone to health or normal life through training and therapy addiction, or illness.
-the action of restoring something that has been damaged to its former condition.
surrender is the first step to being restored.
