Will a program make me come off my medication?

Prescriptions are usually kept going, and changing one is a decision for a prescriber rather than a policy. Medication bought over the counter counts on the list, and leaving it off causes problems later. Any change to what you take is a conversation with a prescriber, never a decision from a page like this.

Can I work during treatment?

Residential care means time away. Outpatient care usually does not. Short term disability sometimes applies to a residential stay, depending on the policy. Look at what your own employer offers before you tell anyone anything.
