Alcohol treatment

[Jack_Stone]

I have a question about alcohol treatment and obtaining a security clearance. Last year, I decided to seek counseling for alcohol and spent about 3 months with a therapist. The treatment wasn’t court ordered or recommended by anyone like a spouse of family member. It’s been one year now since my sobriety and life is great. A job offer has come along that may require me to obtain a security clearance. Would alcohol treatment a year ago stand in the way of obtaining one?

Thank you

I’m not an adjudicator but I don’t think you would have too much to worry about. Voluntarily treatment can be looked at favorably. If you have arrests involving alcohol then it would be a different story.
