What does the court need from the program?

Being sent rather than choosing to go changes the paperwork more than it changes the treatment. Completion paperwork is routine, and asking for it at the end is normal rather than awkward. Check whether the program is approved for your specific order before enrolling in it.

What if there is depression or anxiety as well?

Depression, anxiety, trauma and attention disorders turn up constantly alongside substance use. Which came first is usually impossible to untangle and rarely changes what should happen next. A program that cannot answer these questions is telling you something useful.

Do I have to tell my boss?

Treatment often counts as a medical reason for leave, with the detail of the condition staying between you and a clinician. Where an employer offers an assistance program, it is usually confidential and separate from your manager. Ask the program to write the letter in terms of a medical leave rather than a diagnosis.
