Rehab: The Overdose is the fifth studio album by Christian hip hop artist Lecrae. It was released on January 11, 2011 on Reach Records. The album is intended to be a direct follow up to Rehab (released only five months after Rehab), as Rehab is conceptually about the defeat of addiction while Rehab: The Overdose is about finding "grace, love, peace and hope" in Jesus (and thus "overdosing"). Some fans even consider it to be a part of Rehab.

A follow-up to Rehab was hinted on September 22, 2010 on Rapzilla that the Rehab packaging would come with an ad for a follow-up album to be released on January 11, 2011, to be called Rehab: The Overdose. The album was packaged with such an ad.

On Rapzilla the album cover and the track listing were released. Both are confirmed on the official site for Reach Records. On December 17, 2010, a promotional video was released for Rehab: The Overdose.

The first single off Rehab: The Overdose, titled "Overdose", was released to iTunes on December 21, 2010.

A preview listening session for the album was released on Rapzilla one day prior to the album's commercial release.

The album debuted at No. 15 on the Billboard 200 with first week sales of the album totaled at 21,204 units, and that was enough for it to top the Christian Albums chart.

Allmusic rated the album three-and-a-half stars out of five, calling the release a "high-quality set of tracks, just ones that didn’t make it on his 2010 album Rehab." The reviewer tells listeners to "expect the same intense worship and wordplay, but this time with fewer guests, a little less polish, and rough transitions from track to track," but recommends the album "for anyone who devoured the Grammy-nominated Rehab."

DaSouth rated Rehab: The Overdose four out of five stars, generally praising the album. Though "some tracks feel like they could be leftovers from that album ('Anger Management', 'Strung Out') ... they still find a way to fit into the OD [Overdose] theme," according to DaSouth. They said the album was "very much Biblical," "featuring a few gritty songs plus a handful of laid back ones," and it "starts the year 2011 off well."
