There is a high correlation between addiction and mental illness - a lot of people with mental illnesses try to self medicate and become hooked, thereby creating a vicious cycle where they're making their mental illness worse.
There isn't really much you can do about it - addicts need to want to change before they are willing to stop. You need to worry about keeping yourself safe and not get sucked into the using environment.
