Idk for sure but legalizing it could be a solution of sorts. I always found opiates to kill pain by just making you feel better about everything. Weed can do that.
Opiates loose their efficacy over time, weed doesn't. And then your dealer only has weed and booze and nuclear weapons.

THC traps serotonin in the brain. That's mostly what people like/addict to (CBD weed doesnt get you "high" unless there is THC in it...you can feel a little buzz of high end CBD concentrate though). There might be some other chemicals that hit people a certain way involved too...but these are big ones we know about.
Anyway most stoners go for High THC and little to no CBD in their weed. They smoke dabs, flower, or both. And what does is gives your brain a bunch of serotonin.
The only other way to get serotonin I'm aware of is through social esteem and intense exercise. So if your a loser that doesn't work out your going to love weed. Or if you have some kind of serotonin problem because your childhood sucked...maybe some genetic influence obviously.
I honestly think people put the chicken before the egg on the "loser = because they smoke weed" argument. It's more like they were god damn miserble because life wasn't working out well so they develope an addiction to weed.
Opiates are more about Oxytocin is my understanding -- the love chemical. So its for the REALLY fucked up among us that love that shit. If you never really experienced a the feeling of being loved -- heroin is going to be far more amazing than any life experience you can have while not high most likely.
Disclaimer: I don't actually know what I'm talking about. This is just my understanding. Here's the though....a doctors probably don't what their talking about either...there has been so much propaganda and stupidity in the illegal drug research field that you get some real stupid opinions from otherwise smart people.
