Kates said in a statement that LaBeouf's recent actions — which include an arrest for disrupting a Broadway play — are symptoms of a larger health problem.
She said he has taken the first of many necessary steps toward recovery.
LaBeouf was charged with disorderly conduct, criminal trespass and harassment during a production of Cabaret last week.
The actor was arrested for drunken driving in 2008 after he crashed his pickup truck, injuring his hand and knee.
