Jon Hamm, who plays the role of troubled executive Don Draper of the TV series Mad Men, has recently completed his rehab treatment for alcohol consumption. Reports first came out from TMZ on Monday.

"With the support of his longtime partner Jennifer Westfeldt, Jon Hamm recently completed treatment for his struggle with alcohol addiction. They have asked for privacy and sensitivity going forward," Hamm's rep said via reports from Time.

Vulture said that the actor checked in at the Silver Hill Hospital in New Canaan, Connecticut where he experienced the program.

Despite his crucial episode, the Mad Men producers assured that his treatment period has not affected the film's promotion.

As reported by Deadline, the 30-day rehab is completed before Mad Men's final season premiere. Further, Hamm is expected to be present during the campaign period and will do his promotional duties.

It is also reported that Hamm and the rest of the cast for Mad Men together with filmmaker, Matt Weiner, have been very busy last week for the photo ops and promotional engagements in New York.

The team went for the screenings at Museum of Modern Art and The Film Society of Lincoln Center, attended the interview on NBC's Today, witnessed the exhibit at the Museum of the Moving Image and an facilitated the unveiling of a Mad Men bench.

Jon Hamm's role of being the trouble executive who has alcoholic problems paved his way to the spotlight letting him have a couple of Emmy nominations for the role. But aside from that, Hamm performs minor roles in other TV series, The Guardian reports.

As recalled, Hamm said in an interview, "Our names tend to come with something attached - an audience and an expectation, and I guess a price tag. The challenge is to choose the right things to do.

Mad Men's final season will begin on April 5 on AMC.
