Legal Question in Employment Law in North Carolina

I was accidentally. Exposed to marajuana and tested positive. I injured my knee at work the same day of the exposure, before the accidental exposure. I still can't believe I tested positive. I have had my pre disciplanary meeting. And was told that if I'm not terminated,that I will have to go through drug rehab, and I'm sorry I'm not going to do that I'm not a drug attic and it will be in my permanent. Medical record, it was not my fault, I walked in on someone. Smoking marajuana. What do I do
