After the treatment is the rehabilitation. It usually starts off with humbling yourself, and taking a more basic approach to life. A low end job is a step many former addicts take. It is a way of reaffirming that life is more important than money, and that money and drugs do not create happiness. If you can work at a crummy job and be happy, then you can progress faster in your rehabilitation.
There is another reason for starting the rehabilitation program with a low paying job, economics. If you are just making ends meet, paying for rent, food and bills, there is little leftover to seek out trouble. Too much free time and too much free cash is usually what helped fuel an addiction.
