I think this is a belonging crisis disguised as an addiction crisis. People mostly become addicted because they don't have strong social ties to family, friends, church, whatever. If it were just a physical reaction to drugs every Grandma with a hip replacement would be a junky on the streets. But good luck putting families back together again.
