There's that risk of tarring everyone with the same brush. There's also no saying that the addicts didn't become addicts because they feel stuck in a life cycle they don't know how to escape and often don't even realise why they need to escape. Some of the biggest addicts are aboriginals whose grandparents were ripped from their traditional way of life and they aren't able to integrate into the western way of life. A lot of westerners even struggle with the western way of life.
