One of the challenges in recovery is explaining it to an employer, but it’s not always necessary to disclose your addiction. When you decide it’s time to receive treatment, Care Addiction Center will not notify your employer. We abide and follow HIPAA regulations, CFR42 regulations as well as all state regulations for your privacy. In addition, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) protects employees from being discriminated against because of a disability. Under this act, people who struggle with the disease of alcoholism are considered to have a disability.
