Afraid of losing job if you go to rehab? There’s law to protect you
A person’s drug or alcohol addiction may cost him a job, but seeking professional rehabilitation treatment for his drug or alcohol addiction should not. In fact, if the person has stopped abusing drugs and/or alcohol, and has successfully completed, or is currently enrolled in, a rehabilitation program, the federal law, California Labor Code (CLC) and the California Family Rights Act (CFRA) can help him keep his job.
