IMO, if he is an addict (and I don't know if that was ever even established), and it comes out that the either of his old teams were enabling him or ignoring the dangers, then I really hope this gets treated as something that occurred as the result of an occupational hazard and he is not totally cut off from his employer.

I'll say this about opioid painkillers: they're crazy easy to get addicted to. I've used pretty much every other highly-addictive substance, from cigarettes on up to whatever you want to name and have never had issues with walking away from any of them.
Those painkillers though, got my hands on some a while back and realized after a few days that there was
no way I was going to be able to not take them until they were gone. Simply wasn't going to be able to stop myself.
Other than alcohol I pretty much never use anything anymore, but those painkillers man, I stay the hell away from those. Those things will hook anyone.
