The standard third stage of a publicity generating media cycle.
The first stage is PREHAB (see Olsen twins)whereby complete ignorance of the subject of sex, drugs, and rock n'roll is claimed so as to maintain a fan base/revenue stream. This is concurrent with actual abuse of the aforementioned vices.
Stage two is, of course, actual REHAB. This is also concurrent with actual abuse of said vices. Functions to obtain sympathy from mass audience and to increase overall revenue stream.
Lastly, DEHAB is executed whereby continued abuse of vices is admitted openly, setting the stage for a return to step one by way of finding religion,etc. This cycle continues until premature death due to "inconclusive results".

Get the Dehabmug. This is the opposite rehab.
It's not falling off the wagon, it's willfully jumping off the wagon.
The glorious, chaotic undoing of self-improvement. The exact moment you decide that “balance” is overrated and tequila counts as therapy.
To actively reverse all the progress your sober self made — out of curiosity, spite, or vibes.

Example 1:
“Bro said he was doing Dry January, but it’s only the 4th and he’s already double-fisting margaritas. Man’s in Dehabuary.”
Example 3:
“Rehab was the trailer. Dehab is the movie — rated R for relapses, regrets, and recreational everything.”
“She deleted all her dealer’s numbers after therapy, but texted three of them last night. Classic dehab.”
