Yes, they do. Most therapists and doctors believe addiction is a disease, so those who are addicted to drugs have not just emotional problems but physical symptoms too. Addicts rarely take good care of their health; they make foolish or unethical decisions (such as stealing from family members to support their habit); and they push away people who truly love them, including their own children or siblings.
People who are addicted to narcotics are generally not evil people, and many really do want to quit, but part of their disease is denial-- they don't think it's that bad, they think they can stop at any time, and they seem to prefer their addiction even when it is killing them. As a result, addicts will lie and make excuses about their situation; and they will often manage their emotions by taking more of the very substances that are causing them the problems. Addiction is not hopeless-- people can and do get clean and sober. But until they are willing to accept treatment, most will continue on a path that leads to a very sad ending.
