A typical daily heroin addiction costs $100-$200 a day, or ~55k/yr. Some professions can cover the expense, but it costs serious money. When continuing with your career while addicted the user is put into a hard situation. Too many sick days from an empty bank account, a bad deal, or a lack of access can cost someone their career.

- jpatokal 7y agoThey generally cannot, which is why so many users resort to high-risk, high-reward ways to make money like prostitution, theft, etc.
- krageon 7y agoThis is someone talking about a "typical addiction", which is not a thing that actually exists. There is a wide range of maintenance doses and they don't all cost the same.
