I think that it does not matter if he was in rehab or not.
If you have feelings for him then you should stick with him.
I don't know how he feels about you, but if he likes you then I think a relationship would be a good thing for him. As long as you are not into the negative things he was doing to get him into rehab, if you are then it is not a good idea, because that would just take him right back to where he was.

For a lot of people the rehab doesn't work if they continue with the same relationships they had prior to entering rehab.
That usually means hanging around with friends or in the places where drug/ alcohol use is still around. They need to distance themselves from people/ places where they are likely to return to the same old bad behavior.
So long as you don't fit into any of those bad behavior places, I see no reason why you can't attempt to have a relationship.
The main things for you to remember are that if the person you are talking about was into drugs/alcohol when you met them...sober they are a totally different person. He may not seem the same. He may not like you the same, and vice versa.
And the other thing is that he could relapse back into the same old behavior. So guard your heart.
