Your company may have a different grounds on terminating your employment.
1) It may violate its drug free code of conduct policy and/or its arrest charge policies for employment. Suppose this charge was publicized and it mention that you were an employee of the company, it could damage the company’s name and image.
2) If you did not take a proper leave of absence when you went to rehab, you may also be terminated for job abandonment because you did not report to work after so many scheduled work days.

Now for claiming unemployment benefits, an employer can appeal to block an unemployment claim if the former employee violated rules or policies that caused the termination. This means that the employee was at fault for termination and not released on the “fault” of the employer. It is no harm in trying to collect, the worse that could happen is you have a hearing with the unemployment officer and employer rep. Some states are very “employee centered”, meaning you could have a good chance of winning the appeal.
