Not everyone without a job is a drug addict, there are plenty of ways for people to be down on their luck, plus, consider this.
Drug addicts are, by the wording of the thing, addicted, they NEED their drugs. If the state stopped paying them, they'd be out mugging people for their drug money rather than doing whatever the hell their drug of choice drives them to do.
Additionally, with a bit of money they'd have a chance to drag themselves out of their pit of addiction, with no money at all, they'd more likely die in a ditch somewhere, or end up robbing people just to eat.
