Treatment: Grammatical Roles (Noun, Verb) with Examples

Treatment functions as a noun or verb (not an adjective; “treatment center” uses noun adjunct).

As a Noun

• “The treatment for hypertension includes lifestyle changes and medication.” (therapeutic regimen)
• “She received fair treatment from her employer.” (manner of handling)
• “Wastewater treatment plant.” (process facility)

As a Verb (transitive)

• “The doctor treated her with antibiotics.” (medical intervention)
• “They treated the wood with preservative.” (apply substance/process)

Derivatives

• Retreatment (noun) – Second course.

“Treatment” as a verb is standard; no separate “treat” needed. Context disambiguates.
