Umm, you are aware that 'House of The Rising Sun' was an old folk song about a brothell, don't you?

I don't see how it was really an anti-drug song. Anti-partying-your-life-away song perhaps, but not exactly an anti-drug song.

Yes, but I think the Animals changed the original lyrics a bit. My interpretation is that the “house” was a heroin house.
