Hey all,
I work as a PT preloader and recently told my supervisor that I had alcohol/substance abuse issues. I got myself into a detox and am back at work, however I'm concerned about the number of absences while I was away.
It took a little while for me to find a bed at a detox, because I was adamant about going to a hospital based detox facility, however all the beds were full. This went on for about a week. I did not work during this stretch and was on the verge of a nervous breakdown, I finally went to a regular detox facility and have paperwork to verify those absences, but don't have anything that could cover me for the week of calling in asking if beds were available at a hospital based facility.
Today was my first day back at work and it went well, but my concern is if I don't get that week covered and have all of those absences it would prevent me from either trying to become a preload supervisor or qualifying as a 22.4. I'm also not sure if this puts my job at risk. I'm trying to be here for the long haul.
