Definitely file for unemployment insurance. If employer does not challenge it, you get it. If employer challenges it, you argue you were fired because of your disability, not absenteeism.

Depends upon whether the employer challenges. If so you will be entitled to a hearing wherein you will assert the medical necessity of the treatment program to treat the effects of your alcoholism/disability. You should apply if you have not already done so.
