with the advent of electronic recordkeeping for medical records, i wouldnt count on the fact that you were treated for an addiction in a mental health facility remaining private. There are already currently clearances that you cannot get if you have been treated for alcoholism or drug addiction or admittance to a mental health facility. Many states also deny pistol premits or the ability to buy a firearm if you have been treated for a drug or alcohol addiction. Who knows what future restrictions will be put in place.
