Having benefited from crude treatment? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cured

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

'having benefited' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'crude treatment?' is the wordplay.
'treatment?' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'treatment' mean this).
'crude' is an anagram of 'CURED'.

'from' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cured that I've seen before include "Mended" , "Made well" , "Of ham, smoked or salted" , "Healed - smoked" , "Freed of disease" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
