His depression, at the very least, was exasperated by drugs use (if not the main cause of it). But there is no way to treat depression if you continue to use.
There is no one shot cure all for addiction and depression regardless of money. The guy had a horrible childhood only most of us could imagine. Generally speaking you don;t forget that level of abuse you just try and find ways to live with it (hence the addiction)
