I was in prison until August 2019 and I attended and completed a Substance Abuse Program , should I turn that in as a rehabilitation credit??

Who paid for the rehab?

MEDICAL EXPENSES

The medical expense deduction has to meet a rather large threshold before it can affect your return. The amount of medical (including dental, vision, etc.)  expenses that will count toward itemization is the amount that is OVER 7.5% of your adjusted gross income. You should only enter the amount that you paid in 2019—do not include any amounts that were covered by insurance or that are still outstanding. Of course, your medical expenses plus your other itemized deductions still have to exceed your standard deduction before you will see a difference in your tax due or refund.

To enter your medical expenses go to Federal>Deductions and Credits>Medical>Medical Expense

I don't think, since you were in prison, you will have enough expenses to itemize deductions unless you had a substantial income from other sources than working. Your deductions would have to be more than 7.5% of your income to be used. So........you will probably be taking the standard deduction if you had enough income to even file.
