Jeff Conaway is one of the patients struggling to recover from drug and alcohol addiction on VH1's reality series, "Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew."

Jeff Conaway started acting at the age of two. Jeff Conaway was featured in theater and film productions of "Grease" and starred on the television shows "Taxi" and "Babylon 5." Jeff Conaway was once a rock musician as well. Jeff Conaway performs a music act called 'Vikki & Kenickie' with girlfriend Vikki Lizzi.

Jeff Conaway has a well-documented abuse history of alcohol, cocaine and prescription drugs for over 40 years, off and on. Jeff Conaway was a victim of sexual abuse as a young boy. Jeff Conaway was also a victim of torture at the hands of neighborhood boys in his youth. Jeff Conaway ttributes his substance abuse to a traumatic childhood and chronic pain caused by a back injury, but the pain lingers because of his years of addiction, causing a vicious cycle.

 Jeff Conaway has been divorced twice.  Jeff Conaway's first wife was Keri Young and was then married to Olivia Newton John's sister, Rona Newton-John from 1980 to 1985. Jeff Conaway has no biological children but is a stepfather to Emerson Newton-John. Jeff Conaway is also supposedly somehow a grandfather (most likely a 'step-grandfather' to Emerson's children).

Jeff Conaway has dabbled with Scientology in his attempts to beat addiction and is currently supported in his attempts at recovery by John Travolta and other famous Scientologists.

Jeff Conaway was featured on "Celebrity Fit Club" and cycle one of "Celebrity Rehab." During the first season however, Jeff Conaway left early due to a back surgery that would inevitably lead him back to using prescription drugs. Jeff Conaway has no recent arrests but was convicted of a DUI in 1990 for sideswiping a bicycle rider in Santa Monica. Jeff Conaway has been to several rehabilitation programs over the years but his biggest problems seem to be overcoming his tragic childhood and learning to deal with his chronic back pain in a way that doesn't involve abusing drugs or alcohol. 

Jeff Conaway's  recovery may also be contingent on the cooperation and sobriety of Vikki, who often plays the role of enabler. Recently Vikki and Jeff have been involved in an altercation at home where Vikki allegedly kicked Jeff in the back five times. Both were high on cocaine at the time.
