Can I Be Terminated for Checking Myself Into a Drug Treatment Program?

Question by : Can I be terminated for checking myself into a drug treatment program?
I live in Missouri and voluntarily checked myself into a drug treatment center. I was never accused of using drugs or alcohol while on the job and I passed all UA’s they gave me. Now they are saying that they can terminate me because of their “zero tolerance” policy. Can they legally do this?
