Bands/Musicians Musicians Who Went To Rehab
This is a list of famous musicians who went to rehab, with photos. Rehabilitation is no joke, yet when a celeb enters detox, we can't help but stare. Unfortunately for celebs, there is a double standard. When substance abuse affects an ordinary individual it is thought to be the result of stress or depression. With celebrities, we tend to blame their extravagance getting the better of them (and the luxury rehab centers they attend don't help their case). As Robin Williams joked, "Cocaine is God's way of telling you you are making too much money."
That said, alcoholism is a disease, and there are worse things than alcohol, such as heroin, cocaine, crack, and meth. Treatment centers also deal with more than just drug abuse. One can go to the hospital for conditions such as anorexia as well. At the end of the day, we should respect the musicians on this list for seeking the help they needed.
So what musicians went to rehab? This list will answer that question.

On October 4, 2016, Kid Cudi posted a lengthy message on Facebook, in which he admitted to entering rehab the previous day for "depression and suicidal urges." The rapper-producer-musician-actor further explained that he has struggled with extreme anxiety and depression the entire time he's been in the public eye. To anyone familiar with his lyrics, this should hardly come as a surprise.
To quote from Cudi's statement:
I am not at peace. I haven't been since you've known me. If I didn't come here, I wouldve done something to myself. I simply am a damaged human swimming in a pool of emotions everyday of my life. Theres a ragin violent storm inside of my heart at all times. Idk what peace feels like. Idk how to relax. My anxiety and depression have ruled my life for as long as I can remember and I never leave the house because of it. I cant make new friends because of it. I dont trust anyone because of it and Im tired of being held back in my life. I deserve to have peace. I deserve to be happy and smiling. Why not me?
Cudi wrote of his struggle to admit these things to himself, but feels he owes it to his daughter, his family, his friends, his fans, and himself to seek help. His album Passion, Pain & Demon Slayin' will be released as previously planned, though he won't be around to promote it.
