If you need to go on short-term disability to treat alcoholism does your employer need to know that this is the reason?

I doubt it - HIPAA privacy and all.
No. Your short term disability insurance company will determine if it is a covered event. All your employer needs to know is that it is a qualifying event. A good HR department would never ask and would not want to know why. There exposure to privacy law violations would be way to high.

How much does employer pay for group disability?
The amount your employer pays for the cost of your group Disability insurance is uncertain. Some companies will pay for the full premium, others pay for 50% and some will not pay any of the premium but offer coverage on a voluntary basis instead. You should also know that if your employer pays for your group Disability benefits, the benefits will be paid on a taxable basis. Hence the 60% benefit you expect to receive will be taxed and reduced to more like 45% income replacement. For this reason, many employees in this situation, such as Federal employees, will purchase supplemental coverage on the individual market. In order to find out what percentage of the cost your employer pays, you must ask or review your benefits program brochure, if you are provided one.
