Where the man in pub is turned around? (5)

I believe the answer is:

rehab

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'where the man' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'in pub is turned around?' is the wordplay.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'pub' becomes 'bar' (I've seen this before).
'is turned' becomes 'he' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'around?' says the letters should be written in reverse (I've seen 'around' mean this).
'bar' placed around 'he' is 'baher'.
'baher' in reverse letter order is 'REHAB'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rehab that I've seen before include "Place to go, in short, to be restored to fitness" , "Treatment centre (abbrev.)" , "Treatment for alcohol abuse" , "getting dry?" , "Treatment for addicts (abbrev.)" .)
