Probably one of the most-used words in Hollywood -- aside from "scandal" -- is "rehab." It seems nearly every celebrity has sought treatment at one point or another, although reasons can vary from substance abuse to mental health to simply "undisclosed." <a href="index.php?page=&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnn.com%2F2016%2F07%2F11%2Fentertainment%2Fchaka-khan-rehab%2Findex.html">Singer Chaka Khan</a> entered rehab for "a dependence on prescription pain medications," according to her website.

<strong>Britney Spears'</strong> stint in rehab is now among the most famous, so it might be hard to consider this "surprising." But remember that, at the time, Spears' behavior was much more erratic, and the only thing that was certain was that she was going through some things. Before she "voluntarily checked herself into an undisclosed rehab facility" in 2007, Spears reportedly checked into Eric Clapton's Crossroads treatment facility in Antigua but left after just a day, headed to Florida and then infamously shaved her head.

"There are so many lies out there regarding my recent trip to Cirque Lodge," she told Interview magazine in 2008. "But I don't care what people think. I just don't care. So I will neither confirm nor deny."

Surprising celebrity rehab stays

Story highlights

Report: Actor Jon Hamm of "Mad Men" has completed a 30-day stint in rehab for alcohol abuse

AMC's "Mad Men" begins its final eight-episode run on April 5

CNN  — 

Actor Jon Hamm, who plays hard-drinking Don Draper on the hit AMC show “Mad Men,” has recently completed a 30-day stint in rehab for alcohol abuse, TMZ reports.

The celebrity-news site says Hamm checked himself into the high-end Silver Hill Hospital in New Canaan, Connecticut, at the end of February.

“With the support of his longtime partner Jennifer Westfeldt, Jon Hamm recently completed treatment for his struggle with alcohol addiction,” said representatives for Hamm in a statement to TMZ, People and other media outlets. “They have asked for privacy and sensitivity going forward.”

The news comes less than two weeks before “Mad Men,” which explores the lives of New York advertising executives in the 1960s, begins its final eight-episode run on April 5. Filming for the final episodes was completed months ago.

Missouri native Hamm, 44, toiled in near-obscurity for years in Hollywood before finding fame in 2007 as the tormented, womanizing Draper, for which he won a Golden Globe for best actor in a TV drama. He has been nominated for an acting Emmy seven times for “Mad Men” but has never won.
