This kind of thing actually happens a lot. A lot of former addicts want to help other addicts so they go into this field, but since addiction is a disease, they relapse at a rate that's stastically significant.

>Police say Hagedorn also admitted drugs and guns were in his house on Newburgh Road, as well as a large amount of money in a safety deposit box. Officers say search warrants of both properties turned up a large amount of cash, more than 173 grams of meth, nearly 22 grams of cocaine, and 24 grams of fentayl/heroin. They say they also found mushrooms, controlled pills, a digital scale, a gun, ammunition, and a ledger of people who owed money.

You are correct that addiction is a disease. This person sounds a bit more calculated than a relapsed addict though.
