Many companies sponsor treatment programs or counseling and or provide reimbursement if covered in their policy or health plan. The employees may (depending on severity) be required to take leave of absence.
Companies are not obligated to do this. It may be an optional benefit in the spirit of wellness if the company can afford it. The problem itself can be an issue for immediate dismissal, particularly if the employee is bonded or in security, etc.-conditions of employment vary.
