While a mind altering substance addiction needn’t always lead to frank demonic possession, it’s quite possible. The practice referred to in the New Testament as “sorcery” in English is “pharmakia” in the original Greek, which is usage of mind altering substances for an intended purpose of connecting with the world of ungodly spirits.
Other bad habits, e.g. sexual perversions, can also invite the devil, and to belabor the obvious, the devil can be very, very mean and will try to sell his victims on the idea of becoming mean like him.
Catholic churches don’t always take this as seriously today as they did in past centuries. Like Martin points out, some bishops may not want to cooperate with the spiritual warfare part of the mission of the Christian church.
Incidentally, many serious evangelical ministries have (re)discovered biblically based ways of dealing with such situations.
