After you declare an alcohol/drug dependency problem the FAA would prefer you to enter a treatment/monitoring program. This is true for any chronic illness such as diabetes, heart disease, etc. If you do enter an accepted program you can have your medical back in as little as six months. If you do not enter an FAA recognized program it will frequently take years before the FAA will issue a Medical to you again. ALPA has a program for dependency, HIMMS, that has returned pilots to work in six months. The success rate at five years is over 80% where the success rate for people that do not enter a program is less than 20%. The clinics and Doctors involved in this program are contractors that also take patients from all walks of life. Find an AME that has a practice that caters to airline pilots and he may have a list of clinics. One other possible source is AOPA, like Lear 70 said. Without entering a treatment/monitoring program the odds are stacked against you. Not only is the FAA Aeromedical branch familiar with them so is every employer you will interview with in this industry.

Try doing this drunk! Hell, try doing it sober! I made it 108m! Took me awhile though!
We still flew the sim, then the IP called ALPA. 10 hours later his blood test at the DEN medical center was still .12
Maybe he wasn't drunk at the sim at all. Maybe the jackass instructor had a problem with this guy because he knew about him messing around with his wife. He called him out after the sim and the pilot decided to go get drunk.
10 hours later ALPA called the guy after they heard from the pissed off instructor and ordered him to go get a drug/alcohol test. He still had some alcohol in his system from his post training drunk fest.
Just an idea. Don't hang the guy without knowing the details.
?? Dude,
Who in their right mind would go out and drink after being accused of drinking on the job?
