Speaking as a former oxy addict:
There is treatment available for opioid addiction.
Once my pill habit started distancing me from family and friends I decided that I needed to get off them to not be a scumbag
I got on Suboxone for a couple months. This is a partial opiate agonist that stops withdrawals and blocks other opiates. I used kratom to get off that and cold turkeyed off kratom. Now I'm not on any type of opiate but I get a vivitril shot to block opiates if I get tempted by a free pill or whatever.
There's also methadone which I think is poor treatment but helps some.
Bottom line if you have a moral code that opiates are messing with take one of the many treatments that are available. The only excuse for long term opiate addiction is debilitating pain.
