There are tens of thousands of opiate addicts who mingle and interact with the non-addict population, including those on Methadone maintenance. The big dangers with opiate addictions are overdoses and dirty needles. There is very little physical deterioration directly associated with opiate addiction, and a person who is on a maintenance dose can function quite well.
Morphine is simply another opiate. If addicts are able to take care of themselves physically (stay clean, get enough to eat, get medical care, etc.), there is no way to tell an opiate addict from a non-addict simply by looking. Behavior, of course, is another issue.

She was addicted to Morphine. Mrs. Dubose was a morphine addict, and she had been slowly dying from pain. However, Jem and Scout helped her live free of the addiction by reading to her every day.

So gradually every day when Jem and Scout came to read to her she had an alarm set that so every day when it went off her caretaker would give her a small dose of morphine. Gradually each day the clock went off later and eventually stopped, and that is when Mrs. Dubose had finally conquered her morphine addiction and was not dependent on it any more.
