More than likely he had several doctors unaware of cross prescribing of each doctor.
He is like a cancer patient in horrific pain. I know somebody with a ruined back like that.
It is not uncommon for addiction in hospitals to be caused after operations to the spine by aggressive medicating.
Speaks volumes about this needing to be addressed in the medical field.

Isn't there some way to have these drugs only kill pain and not produce any 'positive' effects like feeling good? That's the only answer.

There is also a sort of combo of biology/personality who is easier addicted than others. For biology, look at the ravages "firewater" brought to the American Indian population. For personality or personal type of addiction, look to the depressed or disthymic or bipolar population. They are far more tempted to self-medicate than a person blessed with a stable neurology.
Since Rush had trouble with alcohol in his past, as well as depression, he will need to rely on things other than medication to keep him stable. It will require some creativity and willpower on his part.
If his drug abuse kept his weight down, he will also have a hard time there, as food might be the only thing left to indulge in. I don't think it will be easy, but in G-d all things are possible.
