Tax Year Prior to 2020: Can i claim my adult child if he was in jail and then rehab and we supported him

While in rehab we had to pay for his clothes, personal items, soap, shampoo etc. They did provide the food but we provided everything else. Also he has always lived with us. He was with us from Jan.1 to Feb 10, went to jail till July and them rehab. Got out in Dec. and we paid for him to live in a sober living house, bought him a car and paid his insurance and food, gas etc. We also paid over 50 dollars a week while he was in jail in addition to $2,500 for his attorney. Can we claim any o f this?
