Rush was being treated for pain as a result of a back condition. With the time and dose involved with that, the addiction was as sure as the sun comes up in the morning.

I have seen nothing stating the dosage prescribed or the time involved or why the prescription ran out and wasn't renewed by the doctor etc etc etc
They are a lot of unknowns here.

You are asssuming he chose to self medicate for the pain and not for the high

Oxycontin lasts for twelve hours. According to the reports he was taking some 30 or more pills per day.

Did anyone ever notice he was high?

The answer is no.
