Can My Employer Fire Me for Going to Rehab?

I want to go to rehab, but I’m terrified that my employer will fire me once they find out. I’ve worked hard to build my career, and I don’t want to lose everything. Are there any legal protections for people in my situation? Has anyone here been through this and managed to keep their job?

Your concern is completely valid, but there are laws designed to protect employees in situations like this. In the U.S., the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) allows eligible employees to take medical leave for rehab without losing their job. Many companies also have Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) to help with recovery.
