Question by ricker712: Is it legal for an employer to make an employee leave a inpatient drug treatment center early?
I was in an inpatient treatment center and my employer made me leave early to keep my job. I was in there for 4 weeks and wanted to stay for 90 more days in which i was able to leave for work everyday. All I needed my employer to do was switch me with a summer help employee. The summer help comes every may to help anyone that needs time off. My employer refused to switch me with another employee that agreed to switch with me. Now 1 year later I recieved a drug test and my employer fired me for drug use when they didn’t provide the correct treatment for my needs. Is that legal is my question and if not who should I contact to help me with this situation? Me and my employer signed a contract saying I would complete a treatment program for this and they went agaisnt what was signed. If anyone has any information that’d help me out please let me know, Thanks alot for anything that you could help me out with

Answer by Songbyrd11 One issue. Did the agreement say four weeks or forever. He does not have to switch around employees to service your needs. He did not make you leave, he just said that if you wanted you job, you had to come back to work.

I’ve been drinking more lately as stress and pain in my life has increased. I’ve never touched narcotics, but I know I am looking to alcohol pretty often lately as a feeble means off escape from reality. The other day I found myself heavily drinking alone. I don’t think I have a problem, but I know that if I did, I may not know it at first. I can stop anytime, right? That’s what they all say.
When giving your answer, please let me know if you have a drinking problem or describe your relationship with someone who has.
Take a look at the population you treat. No matter whether it is a criminal justice, alcohol and drug or psychiatric population, the recidivists will have a high incidence of early life trauma. Research is teaching us more and more about this population. However, research is only useful when it can be translated into clinically useful technique. This video presentation focuses on the treatment of early life developmental trauma. Emphasis is placed on the understanding of current research from such disciplines as neuroscience, neuropsychology and attachment theory. Viewers will hear what the research tells us about this population and how this evidence can be used to help. Practical treatment techniques translated from the research give participants hands-on skills that can be used to better client understanding and clinical outcomes.

My mother has been an alcoholic for over 10 years. After much pleading from the family, she decided to stop drinking and start attending AA meetings. There is a noticeable difference in her general character, and has seemingly become more and more illiterate especially over the past year. We have asked her to please go to the doctor, but refuses saying there’s nothing wrong with her. How can we get her to see that we are only trying to help her by going to see the doctor?
