Well, it's supposed to be for any addiction.  However, it is primarily used by folks who have been addicted to/are withdrawing from opiates.

As someone who spent 11 years in active alcoholism and then got into active drug addiction after being dry for 9 years, I tend to view alcohol as just one of many substances that will feed the disease of Addiction.  To me, it all the same - alcohol, opiates, speed, coke - it's all Addiction.

If what you're hoping to find is a lot of alcohol-specific posts, you're not likely to have that hope met here.  But, if you mentally substitute the word "alcohol" everytime you hear a different substance mentioned, you might find a lot of wisdom here.
