It's funny how everyone loves a bit of drugging -- we've all been corrupted by eight years of House MD :)

House us the type who would get 'clean up' help.
To be honest, I thought it rather callous of canon House not to get help when caring for Wilson. Obviously a RN wasn't a possibility, but he'd used hookers to keep an eye on him during his methadone stint, so he could have done the same again.
