Recovering substance abusers are considered disabled under the Americans with Disabilities Act, as long as they are not currently using illegal drugs. Addiction to legal prescription drugs can also be considered a disability if it substantially limits a major life activity. However, addiction to alcohol is not automatically considered a disability under the ADA.
