I'm trying to find out some info about whether the Coast Guard will accept someone who has gone through alcohol/addictions treatment. If you are honest on your SF-86, it shouldn't be a problem as long as you finished the treatment and are discharged from the facility right? Thanks.
GREAT question!!
This is one that needs to be asked to a recruiter - but until then, I am sure there would be some sort of waiting period, like at least XX years between when the person was released from treatment until they could sign the paperwork to enlist.

I heard some kids in school talking about a holistic approach in relation to drug and alcohol addiction. Does anybody know more about it? I'm just interested.
I think it's a special program given to people who are suffering from alcoholism and drug addiction. They provide treatment and services to help the patient recover faster. There's a website about the Holistic Approach. I added the link below. It's really informative.

I know I have a drinking problem but I was just too proud to admit it. Now, I am ready to get some help. I don't want to waste my life on alcohol. Where can I get treatment?
I am proud of you because you are bold enough to admit your problem. You are already on the first step to recovery. Go to the links I have posted here and you will find details about a rehab center in your area. You may also call the Nationwide Addiction Assistance Helpline, whose number is also posted on the website.
I have a friend who stopped drinking alcohol two days ago and she has been experiencing what seems to me like withdrawal symptoms. She's always craving alcohol and gets clammy hands. I told her these are signs that she should get herself treated for addiction but she won't listen to me. Am I right? If so, what can I do?
Your friend does have mild to moderate withdrawal symptoms. (other signs would be restlessness, insomnia, dreams of alcohol, hallucinations...) These are indeed signs that she should get herself treated for her alcohol addiction. The best thing you can do is to get her checked up by a doctor and he will then assess your friend's condition. Your friend needs to be treated for her withdrawal. If she's not swayed by your pleas, you can do an alcohol intervention for her.
It's easier for me to open up to strangers than to bother my family and friends about this. I have been craving for alcohol more and more now, and have started experiencing withdrawal symptoms as well. I want this to stop. I need to talk to someone about this, but not face to face. Any ideas?
It looks as if you're ready to undergo treatment now. You can call 800-559-9503. It's a helpline for people with problems such as yours. There'll surely be someone on the other end of the line who would be willing to help you out. You can also join forums over the internet and get to discuss alcoholism with other people. Good luck! I do hope you get yourself schlepped over to a treatment center soon, though.

Dealing With Drug and bAlcohol/b Abuse
The inpatient treatment, otherwise called therapeutic community, is the usual choice of those who have a history of drug or alcohol use already. The good thing about this type of treatment is that supervision is constant in an environment that is highly structured. The treatment here is long term ranging from 6 to 12 month. There may be about two months of very intense treatment. The main goal here is to have the patients change their behavior so that they could easily fit back into the society. A medical professional is the one who can best decide which type of treatment is appropriate for the patient suffering from drug or alcohol addiction. The essential thing to remember is that the treatment should be done at once. The addiction could give rise to more serious complications, thus, no time should be wasted when it comes to treatment. Do not wait for the patient to inflict permanent harm or do something which he may regret for the rest of his life. Putting him under treatment shows only...
