Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits discrimination against people who have a disability, which includes drug addiction. It protects employees who are undergoing treatment for drug addiction and those who have successfully completed treatment. The Rehabilitation Act protects individuals with disabilities who work for the federal government or agencies that receive federal funding. The Civil Rights Act prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. The Equal Employment Opportunity Guidelines provide guidance to employers on how to prevent discrimination in the workplace. However, none of these laws specifically address drug addiction as a disability except for the ADA.
