Is Drug Addiction Covered Under FMLA?
Question by Melissa W: Is drug addiction covered under FMLA?
My brother is currently detoxing from an Oxycontin and Heroin addiction. His boss has agreed to hold his position for him for as long as he can but this is probably going to be long battle for my brother, atleast a couple months. He genuinely feels he will not have a job to go back to once it’s said and done and he desperately needs it as it was the only place he had that didn’t bring him into contact with drugs, and he needs stability and to be able to return to normal when this is all said and done.
I know addiction is classified as a disease, would it be covered under FMLA if he sought medical attention for it? He is current detoxing on his own but he has an appointment with a doctor (family friend as well) on February 9th.
