You have several choices when filling out the application.

You can be completely forthcoming and provide them with all the information about your situation. If there is something disqualifying, you will not be issued a license. If there is nothing disqualifying, you will be issued a license.

You can be honest on the application but not divulge details. When they find out, they will contact you and ask you for more detail. If you fail to provide everything relevant, you may be disqualified and not issued a license. At a minimum the issuance of your license will be delayed.

You can lie on the application by leaving out the information. When they find out, you may be charged with a Class A misdemeanor and denied a license. If convicted, you will have to wait 5 years before you can receive a license, if approved.

You can falsify the application. When they find out, you may be charged with perjury, a Class A misdemeanor or aggravated perjury, a third degree felony. If you're convicted of a felony, you'll have to wait 10 years before you can receive a license, if approved.

The choice is yours.

I would choose the first option. Provide them with all relevant official records and include a narrative explaining what took place. You are only required to provide information about any drug treatment received in the past five years, but I would provide everything regardless of how much time has passed. DPS has been known to ask for documentation of issues that have occurred decades ago.
