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

'where you'll find caseworkers' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'a race to get rehab treatment' is the wordplay.
'race' becomes 'tt'.
'to get' indicates putting letters inside.
'treatment' indicates anagramming the letters (letters treated or processed differently).
'rehab' with letters rearranged gives 'hebar'.
'tt' placed inside 'hebar' is 'tthebar'.
'a'+'tthebar'='ATTHEBAR'

'in' is the link.
