I have a roommate who seems to be pretty into the pain killers. He has to drive like an hour away to get these Oxy pills from his dealer, but he still goes almost every day. Sometimes, he stays home and does nothing because he is so out of it, and there have been times where I cant even understand what hes saying because hes so F'd up.

I've taken a couple extra vicodin here and there, but these things seem to be on another level all together. I've never seen a drug that could turn people into zombies, and he seems to be addicted.

My question is, how bad is this addiction and can people shake it? My concern is that, since we live together and all, he has access to all my stuff and could easily steal/pawn it to get pills (which he told me before are like $40 EACH). Do I have a real concern, or is this an addiction like weed? (I would never have stolen even a dime for some weed).
