sanatorium
Long-term treatment center
A sanatorium is a facility for treating chronic illness, especially tuberculosis.
Before antibiotics, patients with TB were sent to sanatoriums—often in mountainous or dry climates—for rest, fresh air, and medical supervision.
The word now applies more broadly to any residential treatment center for long-term recovery: a sanatorium for nervous exhaustion.
Also spelled sanitarium.
