you either have the choice of rehab, or enjoying the “escapism” until it either causes you long term health problems, or you do something stupid that lands you in prison or secure mental home anyway.
Also if your workplace environment is that bad you feel you need to constantly escape even in the economic depression there are often other jobs, albeit less well paid.
Some years ago there were a lot of organisations I turned down offers from because they did stuff I did not agree with, and even now I could probably return to SE England and get a larger salary than at present, but with way more stress involved.
I wouldn’t say I got addicted to anything as such, but I did a lot more drugs in the 90s/2000s and at one point was getting to the stage where I easily could have attacked someone on a comedown. All that stopped me doing this was my interests in electronics, surveillance and counter surveillance, criminology and and owning a radio scanner meaning I soon realised there was no way I would escape detection and I would eventually get prison, which is boring and and I would miss my sister and my cat. TBH although I now live a long way away and the cat is sadly no longer around, I still get on well with my sister and have improved my other family relations as well as having a slightly less stressful job and that is what just about keeps me on the straight and narrow.
