Sorry -

The relationship may take a bit to put in words here. At the least a person using is usually anxious and possibly agitated. Lot of problems go along with opiate addiction. I will assume that you are speaking of a very strong use or an addiction situation. Money problems run with the crowd - and its much easier to be emotionally upset when financially strapped. A steady user is in flux with being high, being in withdrawal, and being in drug seeking mode. Not even close to anything resembling stable. Very tenuous emotional state. Judgement is impaired and decisions are not always optimum. Physically a person has blood pressure issues along with an assortment of other things. Just an environment that would make a person suprised if there werent a relationship between opiate use and anger management.
