What are my rights when returning to work after disability?

Posted by admin in Uncategorized on February 7, 2010

I have been on disability and I have not worked for some time. As I start looking for work, employers tell me I am automatically not qualified because I do not have any recent experience. I had a trauma injury and I have worked very hard in Physical Therapy to improve myself. Can Employers disqualify me on that basis alone? Is there anything I can do? I am working with the Department of Vocational Rehabilitation also. Isn’t this against the Americans with Disabilities Act? How can anyone on disability go back to work if they are automatically disqualified for not having recent experience. It says clearly on the job requirements that you have to have recent experience.

Any thoughts? THANK YOU!

I need to know about requirements to work in a drug rehab center?

Posted by admin in Uncategorized on February 6, 2010

Because of a friend’s drug addiction, I have recently decided to have a career in a drug rehabilitation.

I’ve wanted to be an RN for a while, but I’m sure there are other requirements to work with patients in drug rehab centers.

I don’t really need to know the actions of the people and what I’ll be dealing with so much as what the REQUIREMENTS are.

If you know of any links or have any advice, please let me know.

How does a court ordered drug rehab halfway house program work? What is the process and procedures?

Posted by admin in FEATURED on February 6, 2010

I like to know the length of the program, the process and prcedures? My boyfriend is sent to one, he was setenced to 365 days and his release date is Nov. 21 2006, but he is to do the program instead of the time. He has 2 mths credit time served already. Basically how long is the program’s process, when will he began to have visits and phone calls? Ect. He is determined to succeed in this program but I like more info because I want him back home asap! Can anyone help give me answers? PLEASE!
This halfway house is in Fresno Ca. I was unable to find any info online. I know there is a blackout period, someone told me it was 30 days but if it is anything like the group homes my daughter was in they had a 10 day blackout period. If the stay is only 4 mths that is great! The home had picked him up from county Friday and I have not heard from him since and it’s frusturating not knowing whats going on.
