Going to Rehab Without Losing Your Job

Being able to go to drug and alcohol rehab without losing your job is one of the key benefits that our members get by being Union First members. We understand how important your job is for both you and your family and we will work tirelessly to ensure that your job is secured while you get the professional care you need, utilizing laws to secure your job security.

You can go to inpatient rehab or outpatient rehab depending on your needs and we will not only help you to find placement in an in-network rehab near you but also make sure that you have a job to go back to once you graduate from addiction treatment.

 

What to Expect in Alcohol and Drug Rehab

At an accredited addiction treatment center in Philadelphia, you can expect to have a comprehensive treatment plan that covers important treatments such as medical detox, individual and group therapy, behavioral therapy, and a range of holistic treatments depending on the specific rehab.

You can expect a very supportive environment whether you’re in residential or outpatient rehab. You can expect to be helped with every step of your recovery including aftercare services to help you to sustain your recovery in the important first year of recovery.

 

How Long is Rehab?

 

There is no quick fix for addiction but rather long-term treatment plans that will help you to overcome your substance abuse and addiction. According to findings by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), at least three consecutive months should be spent in treatment and aftercare programs for it to have a lasting effect.

Many rehabs in Philadelphia will offer programs that last between 1 and 3 months. Some programs such as detox and partial hospitalization programs may only last around 10 to 15 days but these are combined with other inpatient and outpatient rehab programs to give you enough time in treatment to sustain your recovery. You can follow these with aftercare programs such as sober living homes and alumni programs.
