Sorry I just don't get it.

Addicts become addicts by choice, they took the drugs, they wanted to get high.
They stay junkies by choice, they keep taking the drugs, they like staying high.
They refuse to get clean by not choosing to deal with withdrawal symptoms.

I feel 0 sympathy for these people, just suck it up and quit.
They clearly like being a junkie and all the consequences there of more that the benefits of being clean.
Its a clear and rational choice they are making.

Okay. If it's so easy to get clean, then I suggest you go get yourself heavily addicted to smack, go clean, then write a book about your experience.

I know addiction is an illness, not a moral or personal failing, but good lord does it seem to be correlated with stupidity in a lot of cases. Will they literally ask anyone with access to a prescription pad or what?

When you're addicted, access to your drug is right at the bottom of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs for you. If you're out of your drug, you don't particularly care about not looking stupid.
