If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, hearing stories of celebrities who went through rehab can help you feel like you are not alone.
Daniel Radcliff
This might come as a shock to you, or maybe you already knew, but Daniel Radcliff struggled with an alcohol addiction. He has apparently been clean since his stint in rehab that took place in 2010. Radcliff had been drinking since he turned 18 and has admitted to being drunk during some filming of the Harry Potter series. He took the initiative to go to rehab to recover from his addiction because he was beginning to become depressed and often drank alone at home.
Eminem
Eminem is an icon in the rap world. He has broken through barriers by being a white rapper, and a good one, at that. By just listening to his music, you can hear many drug references as well as events that have happened to him during his life.

Luxury treatment centers have played a big role in her life.
John Stamos
