I am a leasing agent and I denied someone’s rental application for drug related criminal activity. They appealed the denial and brought proof of drug treatment counseling. Do I have to overturn that denial?

As long as they were convicted of the crime and your property has a no felony policy then no. They cannot claim their drug problem as a disability if that is what you are asking. You can deny them housing based on past criminal conviction. Criminal histroy is not a protected class.
