No, but certainly a great deal of it comes from emotional needs not being met in general.
I'm not challenging MS's personal experience, but most opioid addicts are not poor. Today, they're often business professionals. I unfortunately now know several who have struggled with addiction; people who are respected in their communities and hold down jobs and look like the traditional suburbanite.
