Am I ethically obligated to tell my GF I was an addict and went to rehab?

It's a tough one, I'm a fan of complete openness but I'm not advising it lest it backfires, & obviously I don't know your girl.

6 years is a good amount of time so it's not like it's currently affecting finances, time, etc. So I'd say not obliged.

No. unless you're going to put a baby in her, don't tell her anything. even then, maybe not.
it's the same thing with the old age tale of wives who know they're being cheated on, as long as it's not obvious she will act like she doesn't know so that her fantasy world doesn't blow up.
That lil spinner isn't your therapist, she's a dumb early 20's girl. she has an idealistic image of you, 10+years her senior, a father figure if you will.
tell her you're a past junkie and she will immediately think "faggot". bury it deep inside you like boq does his with his longing for twink cock.

Thats a tough one. The cons of not telling her shows you might not trust her, that you’re potentially ashamed of your issues, or even that you were trying to hide it from her. And looking like you’re trying to hide it from her because you don’t want her perception of you to change looks insecure.

I think all of the former is worse than just saying “Yeah I used to be addicted to drugs.” She may admire you being open about that, as most people wouldn’t want to discuss that. Also to a 20 year old girl…even though i’m not one…I imagine having a kid would be a bigger deal breaker than being an addict. And she (presumably) knows you have a kid, so I don’t think previous drug use would be a deal breaker. But then again it also depends on who she is. If she’s some conservative trad straight edge person she would have a hard time accepting it. But even if shes just dabbled in duh weed she might be more open to it.
