FAQ

Is Treatment Confidential?

Our services are 100% professional, you are guaranteed complete privacy and confidentiality. Not even your employer, who pays for the EAP, will know you contacted us for assistance.

Can I Be Fired for Going to Rehab?

If you are seeking treatment for a currently diagnosed substance use disorder, you usually can’t be fired. The ADA states that an addiction to alcohol or drugs is considered a disability under their criteria. An employer cannot fire you for getting treatment for that condition. If you don’t get treatment and are caught using an illegal substance during work, then that would be grounds for firing.

Additionally, under the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA), employees may receive up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave for certain life events, which may be an option for getting leave to attend rehab.
