New and need advice
Hello...I am brand new to this forum and need advice. I am going to detox and then intensive outpatient rehab. I have a business out of my home and I need to tell my clients that I need a week off really soon. Usually I give them a four to six week notice but I can't wait that long to start my journey. I am not ready to disclose the reason why so I am at a loss on what to tell them. Suggestions?? TIA
Hi redhen - welcome
Tell them whatever you like, I think.
Personal reasons ? Medical reasons? unforeseen circumstances?
The main thing is to get yourself to the help you need - you can sort out other things later

I recently did the same (inpatient then day program). I didn't give my employer any specifics...just that I needed some time off to take care of some medical issues. They were understanding and didn't ask any questions when I came back to work other than "Welcome Back" or "we missed you"...I've been back to work over a month now and everything is normal...like I was never gone at all. Best of luck to you!

Thank you so much for responding. I am very leery to telling the truth to my clients at this time. I have a personal relationship with each of them and I am worried about the questions they will have. I am supposed to hear back tomorrow from the recovery center I am going to. There are insurance issues with in-patient vs out-patient and the nurse wants me in-patient (I am approved for out-patient). Much love to all of you and wish you all well.
