Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'rehabilitation' denotes therapeutic work to regain abilities and 'program' denotes an organized course, so together they clearly refer to an organized course of therapeutic treatment. This NP modification pattern is common cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Rehabilitation program comes from rehabilitation, which means 'making someone able again', and program, which means a planned set of steps. Think of a broken machine being fixed step by step; so the phrase means a planned course of treatment to restore a person's health or abilities.
