When a person goes into "rehab", do they get other medical help?

Drug/alcohol addiction could not always be the ONLY problem a person has. Would a rehab clinic test people for post-partum depression or other medical/psychiatric problems.

A person could stay in rehab, and if that is not their only problem, not much has been accomplished.

1. I think it depends upon the facility

Jerry Garcia was not in a medically supervised rehab center. From what I've read, had Jerry Garcia been in a different type of rehab facility they may have been monitoring his heart.

2. ikojo's correct.

Like any other consumer product, one needs to know how to determine the good from the bad. Rehab's a very big bucks business and attracts all kinds of 'investors'.
