How does an addict have the ability to decide it's time to get help if his brain is on drugs all the time?

He hits his bottom which is the point when he says im sick of this shite and he admits he needs help.

And what if he dies or kills someone before he chooses to get help?

Sometimes that is what it takes to hit his bottom.
