Can You Join the CG if You Have Been in Alcohol/addiction Treatment?

Question by Tikka G: Can you join the CG if you have been in alcohol/addiction treatment?
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.
