  Comments:
that sentence doesn't necessarily mean 仕事中毒 is a person.  such is the magic of は, and it's just more natural than translating it as "Him, he has alcoholism."

eij does have it, but it may be safer just to go without

GG2 has: " 彼は仕事中毒だ He's a workaholic. " as an example sentence.
The J-Wiki page links to E-wiki workaholic.
Eij also has workaholic.
Maybe both are ok.
