At least they do in Michigan. Good luck. @ Average Joe – I think the laws protect you in every state of the U.S. from a rehab disclosing records to your employer. At least they do in Michigan.

I am 29 years old and I have been on and off of taking pain pills (Vicodon) since I was 16. Currently, I have been taking around 10-15 pills every day for a year. I know that is very damaging to my body. I decided this weekend that I was done with the pills. I am on Day 4 Clean and I feel like I am dying. I have been crying for no reason. I am debating check in to a clinic. Just scared that if my employer finds out would I lose my job, but I guess it’s better to lose my job than keep damaging my liver. Does anyone know if the records are secure at the clinics?
